In response to this question about what it means for me to be in Christ I want everything I do to give him glory and honor him. I think that the idea is there, but the practice will have to be put in place for my whole life. It is hard when I think of the very worldly things I engage in and I wonder how is Christ incorporated in those things. I have been a long distance runner for over 13 years, but if you were to ask me where I see God in that, I can only tell you that he has shown me many beautiful scenes of his creation, but other than that, running is my own, and there is something I don't give him - and much to my chagrin I don't feel his pleasure when I am running. I get into routines alot that Christ is not a part of and I don't even recognize it most of the time. The main implication I see is to be very intentional in prayer asking that the Holy Spirit really uncovers the things in my where I am turning my back to Christ and not giving him the glory. It will be both interesting and freeing to learn more about these things and to give them back to him.

HOWDY ALL! I am from Wyoming but I just moved to Nebraska. I don't know very many people here and I am really needing some good community - people I can really get in touch with. I have a few friends in seminary in Texas, and they tell me about the things they are learning and I long to learn of those things as well, but at the moment it is not an option for me to go into seminary. So, I figured I would learn alot from this bible study - I really want to learn how to study and what kinds of questions to ask to really dig into the word and digest it. Very glad to be here!
