I have been in a spiritual slump since oh let's say all of '08. I have been trying to figure out the problem and Romans 6 has answered it. The problem is I'm not dead.
To be given new life by Jesus means you were resurrected with Jesus. To be resurrected with him you must have died with him.
I focus too much on trying to worship God and "being in love with God." That's actually not what we're meant to do. We are meant to live and die and be resurrected with Christ. We are to exist in Him. That is how I fail as a Christian.
I want to have a quiet time with God. I put some time from my day and worship Him. I set parts of my week away for church. That is living an earthly life of a Christian not living in Christ. Oops. Something to work on, I guess.

Boyd!!! I love what you said in this blog post. I was just thinking about you and how memorizing Romans was going. I prayed and asked God what he wanted me to memorize and he actually brought me to Colossians 3, the rules for holy living. I feel like he wants me to know in my heart what Paul is saying about how to live my life as a Christian. Anyways, I am coming in town. I am so excited as well. I heard San Francisco was good.
like I said, that's us boyd
