Good living pays off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following God\u2019s commands will help you live well. The Lord covers every topic imaginable in scripture. But perhaps the one I find most applicable comes from Paul\u2019s first letter to the Corinthians:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll things are lawful for me,\u201d but not all things are helpful. \u201cAll things are lawful for me,\u201d but I will not be dominated by anything.\u201d 1 Cor. 6:12 ESV<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Righteous living means understanding that we can do everything but shouldn\u2019t. Learning what helps us live fully in Christ happens one day at a time as we discover what works and what doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journeying with Jesus means constantly growing and becoming more like Him. We don\u2019t \u201carrive\u201d at our destination until we reach heaven. Until then, \u201cWork in Progress\u201d defines us all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moderate and moldable living in Christ leads to life-giving wages.<\/p>\n\n\n
