PART 5 YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN. NOW WHAT? In this chapter, we are going to look at another roadblock, which I think for many believers acts upon them in a habitual manner; for example, something like the reoccurring of the same day events in the movie “Groundhog Day.” This roadblock, if not addressed, will occur over and over and over again, thus severely inhibiting our walk with God. Let’s see what this roadblock is all about.
How Can I Address My Weaknesses? I believe this is one of the most neglected topics in the church today. Many churches will present their standard teachings on forgiveness, eternal security, predestination, the offices of the church, giving financially, etc. along with encouraging the assembly to get more involved in church activities so that they might be examples of Christ-likeness to others. They claim that evidencing Christ-likeness is determined by focusing on changing one’s behavior. If Christians try as hard as they can to not commit certain overt sins, obey the teachings of the church, and do good for others, then they say this is the evidence of godliness. This sounds right, doesn’t it?
