Lynne Sillence

Hi. My name is Lynne and I am from England. I am really looking forward to sharing with you and learning together. My prayer is that we would grow together as we share in the Word together. I guess a Christian who lives like this is not really seeking the Lord daily and abiding in Him. The cares of this world overtake and the Christian does not naturally turn to God first and in all things. They possibly live life on the periphery of Godly things and maybe have never fully taken the plunge, going deeper and consciously putting off self to live in the newness of life that a Christian is promised. I sometimes find that the busy-ness of life, ironically, especially church life, keeps me from living as a citizen of Heaven. In my heart I really want to focus on Jesus and His desire for my life but in practice I fall short often. I agree with Arley about it being like straddling a fence, neither in one camp nor the other. With God's help I know I will overcome the flesh. To get our Spiritual priorities straight we need to desire to put God first in all things, to keep short accounts before God so that our hearts are right before Him and to constantly make faith choices rather than give in to self choices.
