Life in the Spirit (Teaching Session)

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 74We are not to be parrots. Perhaps that is obvious, but too often in the Christian life, we "parrot" our faith rather than allow the Spirit of God to indwell and direct our lives. In this teaching session I gave at the Cross Style Training Camp, I walk through Creation and the seven levels of lifeforms mentioned in Genesis 1-3 and show how trying to mimic God (which we often call "WWJD") is no different than a parrot trying to mimic a human. We also discuss the two trees in Garden showing how one is a picture of dependence (the life of a Christian) and the other a life of independence. Whether you listen to the episode or watch the video version on the show notes page at deeperChristian.com/74/ (which is encouraged since I use a whiteboard to teach the session), this episode will enunciate what it means to be a Christian to live by and in the Spirit of God.
