Yesterday at church we began speaking about our connection to Christ and the benefits that this connections brings to the believer. It is interesting that when you look at the things that the Lord desires to give us that many of us will not take hold of the benefits because we do not want to make any sacrifices. While I realize that it is not fair, you are "guilty by association". If you take up the cause of Christ, you may not be taken in with loving arms by the non-believer and for many of us, that is too much to deal with.

Our connection to Christ is the seat of our power and the lifeline of our promise! The words that he has spoken to us can only be obtained through a relationship with him through his son Jesus. If we truly grasp this reality, why are we not beating the doors of our churches down to gain this beneficial relationship with the savior?

Many of us do not want to be connected to Christ and we would much rather stay connected to the World. What appeal does the world have over the body of Christ, and what do you think the church should do about this in order to effectively win souls to the kingdom?

I really want your thoughts on these things...While I have my own, I think one of the powers of this communication tool is the conversation that comes with it. I will be including some of your thoughts as we continue writing about spiritual connection.
