Welcome

One of the most effective ways to allow the Word of God to affect your life is to study it inductively. That is what this blog is all about. Typically one verse per day will be mined for insight and then followed up with how I plan to implement that insight practically. My prayer is that in some way you find this useful in your journey and that it may impact you positively. -G

Ephesians 2:2

2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.

The eternal enemies of the believer are the world, the devil and his own flesh.  How to navigate through our time on earth victoriously is the age old dilemma. Many have gone before us and have learned to manage their way through. So indeed it is possible to finish well.  As Paul said in

1 Corinthians 11 1 Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. 


One of the most important ways to navigate this journey is to have relationship with others who are living out their Christianity.  And to allow them to view your life, this is active accountability and it works.

To understand that to walk in disobedience is to be led by the spirit of the air, the devil, is to exchange light for darkness, to forfeit the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit of God. He is our comforter and our peace. He is precious and not always available to mankind. We live in the age where He is available. Before Christ's sacrifice on the cross at calvary the indwelling of the Holy Spirit was extremely rare and mostly unavailable.

APPLICATION
To nurture and cherish the presence of the Holy Spirit in my life.
