Well, it's been a while, hasn't it?
Sorry it's taken me so long. My work hours are long, you know, what with the war and everything.
Anyway, let's get down to business! I'll answer the venerable and mysterious Mr. M's questions quickly, to save you the time of listening to me ramble.
1. Boasting only in the cross is when the only thing you're proud of is Christ's sacrifice and His love. If we truly understand how miraculous that love is, we won't be hesitant about spreading it to other people.
2. The "I" of "I no longer live" is the fleshly desires, or man's sinful nature. Paul is saying what has been said many other times: that he has died to himself and now lives in Christ. His life is now being lived for Christ, and not for himself, a goal that we should all strive for as Christians.
3. Right now, not a lot of my "faith" is actually being lived "by faith". I tend to ask lots of questions, which is good at the right time. It's really hard for me to stop asking questions that I can't answer right now and just give God the benefit of the doubt.
Well, I'm sorry this was a little short, but then again, I haven't blogged in a while, and I'm a little rushed. Happy holidays!
