FROM TODAYS DAILY REFLECTION ...Christian living is not a matter merely of adding something new to your pre-Christian way of life. You dont just add church attendance, Bible study, and good-deed-doing to your otherwise intact life. Rather, Christian living involves a radical putting off of your old man, your old self, your old behavior. Then, you put on a whole new man, a new self, a new way of being, thinking, and living. - Mark D. Roberts A PRAYER: Gracious God, as I consider my life, I can think of ways I have put off the old man and put on the new. Thank you for the grace that has enabled me to do this. Yet, Lord, I also realize that there is more to be done. I cherish elements of my old self like a comfortable pair of old shoes. And there are parts of my new self that I have yet to put on with regularity. So, I pray, help me to do what I have been taught, so that I might be the new person you have created me in Christ to be. Amen.
