Lopsided Christianity Part 2: Balance
- Kevin DemingHow Can I Possibly have a Balanced Life?
Student Personal and Group Study Guide (TP/WP) - Lopsided Christianity (Part 2) and our Printer Friendly Version Lopsided Christianity (part2) pfv
Life today is so much more complicated and fast paced than it was just a generation ago. And that means we have more roles and more responsibilities these days, but we still have the same amount of hours in the day. It’s tough to keep up with all the demands let alone make all the different areas of our lives balance. Even more, we want to find a life that balances with Christ .
As we look at week 2 in our Series, Lopsided Christianity, we will address our need for Balance and what that looks like using 1 Peter 2:1-17. There are 3 main areas we need balance in our relationship with God:
- Balance the individual and corporate aspects of the Christian life,
- Balance worship and witness in the Christian life, and
- Balance our call to separation and our call to involvement.
Each of these 3 areas has 2 aspects to living out truth. When one of these aspects are not in line we find ourselves out of balance and lopsided. Please use these verses to the left each day to help reinforce each of these truths and enable us to live in a way that is not lopsided and out of balance.
On the back we encourage you to take the group study with your family or community group and begin to apply the truths from the message to your daily life. How does not living in balance affect your family, friends, school, job, life?
Take some time and read 1 Peter 2:1-17 and meditate on it this week.
By going through our talking points and reading the daily verses we can help keep Balance in our life and allow us not to be Lopsided in our Christianity.
