Resurrection Life Church

When we are born we are born into a race that whether we like it or not we are running.  As we grow older we realize that the race is not as easy as we thought it would be.  The apostle Paul encouraged us to run in such a way that we would win.  Yes, we know there can only be one winner but run as if we are that winner.  If we don't we will give up and coast through life and miss out on a life that God wanted us to have that would not only be amazing but life changing for others.

The heart of man is desperately wicked and who can save it? Only God can. When God gives us a new heart everything about us should change. Our behavior, our speech, our attitudes, the list is endless. Why does everything change? Because out of our heart flows the issues of life. If we want to lead a life that is successful and pleasing to God then we must deal with the issues of our heart. When we do that we begin to walk in the peace, hope, and love that He said we could.

We cannot live a life that is pleasing to God without the fear of the Lord.  We cannot walk and live in wisdom without walking in the fear of the Lord. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.  Fear, meaning honor, respect, reverence, not afraid that you cannot please Him and therefore you will receive His wrath.  It is fear of the Lord in the fact that His awesomeness and majesty are so amazing and powerful that the only response is to fall down on your face in humility and worship Him.  Everything in this world or any other pale in comparison to Him!
