Faith for Living | "Our Christian Focus"
Quick Overview
Each year, millions of people make millions of New Year’s resolutions – to lose weight, live healthier lifestyles, work less, spend more time with family, even promises of attending church more often. Soon afterward, most of them fall by the wayside. The crowds that pack gyms in January thin considerably in February. Ambitious executives lapse back into old work habits. Church attendance once again becomes optional. Either their resolution was too ambitious, or their resolve was not up to the task, or they simply lost focus. If we aren’t careful, the same thing can happen in our spiritual lives. Paul warned the Galatian church about dangers to their spiritual growth and progress, “Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you” (Galatians 5:7–8). Something not of God threatened to deter the Galatians from their faith. They were in danger of losing their focus. When we find ourselves sidetracked, we have to ask the same question – what is hindering us? How do we regain our focus and get back on the right track?
