The Cross Centered Life

Chapter 1. Restating the obvious 2. What's your life centred on 3. Breaking the rules of legalism 4. Unloading condemnation 5. What you feel vs what is real 6. The cross centred day 7. Never move on

The main lesson: Many Christians carry around a depressing list of things left undone, unsaid or unaccomplished. When these things fester they increase our condemnation. They need to be unloaded.

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. 18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Matthew 7:17-18
