The Spirit is Willing, but the Flesh is Weak

My behavior was radically impacted when I was born again. But it wasn’t long before a difficult question confronted me: how do I remain strong in my commitment to live in a way that pleases God when Jesus Himself said, “the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak?” Weak indeed! What’s this all about, I wondered? I knew I had been deeply transformed, so why would I have even a remote desire to return to things so destructive in my past?

It amazed me because I knew from experience that sin could never be a source of lasting joy. Yet I was willing to toy with it. Could I really be that stupid? And another issue bewildered me. Why was I now completely set free from some old habits while others sprang back with a vengeance? There they were! Needless to say, the shame that came along with falling into the same old sins was extremely discouraging. The Bible talks about struggling with the old man; for me it was the old Dan!

We sometimes use the term “Staking Your Life” a bit lightheartedly, subtly conveying a sense of greater conviction over this or that. Other times, it’s deeper. Just what do you believe about the reason for your life? What drives you?

    Confused about your life here on this earth? You’re not alone. Below are four pivotal questions common to people in all generations:

Where did I come from?
What am I doing here?
Is there a purpose to my life?
Where am I going?
