Christ Centered

One of the temptations that we, as Christians, will face throughout life is to settle into a nice set of established rules...be nice...and yet remember not why we live the way we do. Elders can go into a home and ask a thousand different questions.
How are things in the church? Are you tithing? How is your marriage, engagement, or single life going? But what is the reason why I go to church? Or why is it that things are either good or not good at church? Why do I give, or not give, a portion of my income to the Lord [His Body, the church]? Why do I treat my wife good?

The Christian life goes beyond following certain principals that I read in a self help book.

The Christian life is a relationship with the Triune God!

Whether we eat or drink, or whatever we do, we should be doing this for the glory of God.

Do you go to church because you love God, and because you are so thankful that He has saved you from all of your sins...or is it something that you just do?

Jesus should consume us. Every decision in life should be made with God in mind.

If you think this a bit fanatic then unfortunately you have allowed the world to shape your thoughts about the Christian life, instead of God shaping and molding them.
