On my mind right now...

It is so easy to become apathetic and complacent in the Christian life. We're afraid to be the extreme one in the group so we ignore the symptoms of something being wrong. But God demands a life of holiness, a life separated from the world. He desires His children to be lights in a world of darkness.

Galatians 2:20 says that "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."

Romans 12:1-2 challenges the believer concerning his everyday walk before the Lord: "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

Galatians 5:16 declares the key to having victory over living a life in the flesh: "This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh."

I am thankful for my teachers here at school who desire to see us students living the Christian walk the way God intended it to be lived.
