High speed or dial up?
I'd like to quote something my pastor has frequently said, but which I think bears repeating: "Religion is US working OUR way to God. Christianity is GOD working HIS way to us." (Pastor Chad Moore) There is really no more eloquent way to put it! Our old way of doing business centered entirely around US keeping the rules and getting things straight. Our new way of living is to allow God to make his way into our lives and to go about setting things right on our behalf. Lest we think this involves absolutely nothing from us, let me set the record straight on that one. As long as we are connected with Christ, sin speaks a "dead language" to us - it is like we hear it, but we don't respond to it because we don't understand it any longer. The part we play is in maintaining the connection. I use a wireless router when I am on my laptop. This allows me the freedom to be on it in my kitchen, the front room, or even in the bedroom...
