The key to living the victorious Christian
life is not a new spin on the old, old story; it’s normal Christianity. It’s as
old as the New Testament. Experiencing normal Christianity through the week
yields such a sweet, intimate, obedient relationship with God that we don’t
attend the worship service to get recharged; we attend the services to
discharge our worship and praise to the Lord because we are over flowing with
love and gratitude (Psalm 23:5).
By letting Christ express His life through
us on a moment-by-moment basis, we experience the overcoming, abundant life
that Jesus spoke of (John 10:10). Many Christians have taken the independent
do-it-yourself exit off God’s “freeway.” Cordless Christianity explains why
many Christians experience unexciting or perhaps defeated lives. It explains
everything from the so-called male mid-life crisis to depression, sheer boredom
to anxiety attacks, passivity to hedonism, perfectionism to slovenliness, etc.
These are all manifestations of living in the power of human flesh. Jesus
Christ is the only One who ever lived the Christian life, and I have found that
by letting Him express His life
through us, by faith, we experience the
Christian life as God intends.
