Paul says that if we sow to the flesh, we shall from the flesh reap corruption. Note that he doesn't say we'll reap destruction from God, but from the flesh. That's pretty good motivation to walk according to the spirit, and not according to the flesh!

It's been a challenging week on Set Free as Ken Legg has encouraged us to think less of our 'self' and more on God. He says that if we esteem self, defend self, exert self, assert self, trust in self or boast in self - it's obvious that we'll live a very self-absorbed, insular life. But if we deny self and walk by faith in God, Christ's life will flow out of us. And that's the life we want to live!

In recent years there has been a real focus on the need to increase self-esteem, particularly in children and teenagers. But Ken Legg says something pretty controversial today on Set Free???.he says that this concept of needing to enhance our self-esteem is actually foreign to the Word of God!

As Ken Legg wraps up his series titled ???My Church, My family???, he asks you the direct question - is YOUR church YOUR family? Maybe you've had some hurtful experiences at a church and that's turned you off the idea altogether. Maybe you've never stepped foot inside a church and wonder what it's all about. Maybe you attend your church regularly, but you don't feel connected enough to call its members your 'family'. On Set Free today, Ken Legg will bring some answers on why and how we should connect in a meaningful way, with other people at church.

It's easy for us to put church leaders on a pedestal. We hear some of these great preachers on the radio and if we're honest with ourselves, we may think of them as celebrities. We listen intently to every word and devour their books???.to the point where we can mindlessly accept anything they say without checking their theology with the word of God.

God created you unique! You have your own thoughts, attitudes, feelings, gifts and talents. So if we put you with a bunch of other unique people into a church, there's bound to be conflict, right?

We seem to spend a lot of time thinking, talking and arguing about what a modern-day Church should look like. What should be its priorities in mission and ministry, what kind of music to sing, what to do with troublesome members???.the list goes on. Well Ken Legg says that Revelation 2 & 3 is a very important passage of Scripture because it's the only record of Jesus looking at a group of churches and making a comment about their strengths and weaknesses.

Ken Legg says that an important key to understanding the Christian life is to learn to live one day at a time.
