When Christians speak of being in the flesh, what do we think about? Is it the fact that we are encased in skin and bone? Is it that we are moving, living, and breathing, and we can see ourselves and each other? Or, is it that we would rather not see ourselves as spiritual, that we prefer to insist we are made in the flesh? Some of us insist that we are 'natural,' afraid to launch out into the spiritual. Could it be that we’ve watched too many, and bought into too many “Ghostbusters” movies? Whatever the theory, or speculation, it seems that many of us shy away from speaking of being “in the spirit,” and would rather remain “in the flesh.”

There is something that we must recognize and consider. We are either in the flesh or in the Spirit. There is no middle ground. In Romans 8:8, the apostle Paul tells us bluntly that they that are in the flesh cannot please God. So, what's your choice?
