Free to live?

Ever try to break a habit? What about start a good one? It’s funny how when you know what you should or should not do, action doesn’t always line up with our good ideas. Think about it: You know you should “love your neighbor” but more often than not aren’t other people more of a bother to you than a blessing? Or you know you should “love God with all your heart” but if a stranger took a survey of your time, energy and money spent on other things, would it be obvious that you love God?

Well, needless to say we all have areas that we know what we should do but don’t follow through. That’s exactly what one of the greatest religious thinkers and leaders was wrestling with when he penned this incredibly transparent statement:

“I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate.” (Romans 7:15 NLT)

He was saying sometimes, you may be free to choose, but are you really free to live? That’s what we’re talking about this month at Resolution. If you’re in Atlanta, I encourage you to join us and discover, like Paul, how to be really free to live the life God has for you!
