Doing Better

[soul man]

All the things a believer wants to be is already in them. Do we really believe God would put his Son in us and depend on you to live it. We have a hard enough time trying to see Christ as life, how pray tell are you going to live some kind of life that is supposed to be the right life (you must watch religion very close they have a lifestyle for you to live) - all imagination but still it duppes the believers thinking. Anyone have an answer for life - for living life?

My answer for living life is to trust God about everything, in everything and for everything and to ask for what you see you need.

My answer is to put the Lord first. To have no other gods...period!

Hi Soulman,
It would depend on the Christian I think. A "Christian lifestyle" is no different than many non Christians with the same ole mundane tasks daily. Probably married, have kids, grands and all of that. Go to parties and amusement parks. The only difference really is their faith and what/who they place it in.

The ideal Christian lifestyle (IMHO) would be pretty much like in Acts. Seems so far removed from that anymore. Everyone looking to the others needs. Don't work? don't eat. Prayer, singing, praising and honestly loving one another or at least being somewhat kind.

Then ya have those who are "weird" in the eyes of other Christians...then the shunning comes, and the hurt and heartache because of being rejected by the very people you want to become a part of, being on the same page where Christ is concerned. Who wants to go to a "church" like that? It's almost like, "oh, you are not like me so, you must be "weird" so, we have nothing in common"...??!! Funny how some can sit around and speak of Him for hours and others really leave Him at the doors of the church when exiting. Next day, I bet most would not even remember what the sermon was even about!

They say that "there are NO Lone Ranger Christians" ... I have news for them...oh yes there are! If ya can't join them, it's you, Jesus and your bible, and if you are blessed enough, a couple like minded believers to pray with and read the word together.

I think you are going to get a slew of different answers Soulman, lol.

A Christian's life is one devoted to living for God. Instead of being changed by the world, the Christian is changed by Christ and then changes the world. In addition, the Christian life includes much endurance or perseverance.

Christian lifestyle. Christians should live as ambassadors for Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:20 says, "Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.". Christians should live to glorify God. 1 Corinthians 10:31-33 says, "Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
