If you aren't careful, the Christian life could seem like a long "to-do" list... Or, even worse, a "to-don't" list! Nobody completes a "to do" list because they want to... They do it because the have to. And there is little joy and happiness in doing what you have to do. Thankfully, in the middle of explaining how to walk in the "New Rhythm," the Apostle Paul stops to remind us that this isn't about a list... That God has something much deeper and much better in mind for each of us.

Doesn't our church culture tend to perpetuate Christian schizophrenia? You know, were you feel like you have to be one version of yourself on Sunday, and a whole different version of you during the rest of the week. We all deal with it to some degree or another... Do you think that is what Jesus calls us to? What is the path out of this craziness?

It seems that our culture is increasingly disheartened by the church. Even church people are losing their faith in the Body of Christ, aren't we? But, if we can grasp this one idea of stepping into the new nature, it could radically transform our walk with Christ, and our view of the Body of Christ.

Jesus says to his disciples, "You will be my witnesses." The problem, however, seems to be that nobody ever witnesses! We disciples tend to never share our faith. This seems to have come so easy for the early church, but it feels so hard for us. Is it possible that we, the church, have made it more difficult than it needs to be? What does it really mean to share our faith?

It is always great to hear stories of great prayer victories... But for so many believers, we don't feel like we really have a vibrant, growing prayer life. In fact, many believers are very frustrated by their prayer life. We feel like it just doesn't really work for us. Jesus gives us a paradigm shift in the way we think about prayer that could change everything about us! What is that paradigm, and how can we apply it into our life?
