Identity Swinging

Today I am working on the notes for a session I am teaching at the end of the month in Iowa on Identity Crises.  It's all about how God wants us to live life righteously and keep ourselves safely under his authority and in his discipline instead of using our lives to draw attention to ourselves by creating new identities based on our talents or experiences.

How ironic that God is using ME to teach others about keeping our identity in our union with Christ, not using bulimic bursts of energy to accomplish things, and allowing our satisfaction in him to be what draws the attention of others.

Good one, God.  You obviously have a sense of humor.  :-)

2 Corinthians 3:18  But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.

Psalm 72:18-19 Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who alone works wonders. And blessed be His glorious name forever; And may the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen.
