In our passage today Paul goes further in encouraging us to live life in the Spirit by showing us it is more than just escaping rejection, but how much we are wanted. Look with me Romans 8:12-17.

I have 5 messages planned for Romans 8 that I am going to call Your Life in Romans 8. In this first one we see that our lives are no longer condemned and what that means. Let's look at Romans 8:1-11.

"You've got to pull yourself up by the bootstraps!" This phrase that has been around since the 19th century though no one has really been able to trace it to its origin.

There is a bootstrap theology that has proved to be a great frustration to believers.

There are many passages that talk about what we give, why we give and our attitude in that giving. I believe it is clear a follower of Christ is to give a minimum of 10% of their gross income to the church. I believe we should give to other gospel causes and missions, but the tithe is to come to church first according to Malachi 3:10.
