What fuels a good or bad attitude? On Father’s Day 6/17/12 I preached a message entitled “An Attitude Adjustment”; it was the 3rd part in BPC’s June series “They Met Jesus.”
Most men & I guess people in general can trace the root of a good or bad attitude to how they see themselves or how they perform so it’s only when we come to God & begin to understand who we are in Christ we can make the necessary attitude adjustments. In his book Victory Over the Darkness Neal Anderson says “It’s our position in Christ that matter & not our performance” explaining that “No person can consistently behave in a way that’s inconsistent with the way he perceives himself.” And I love this; “What you do does not determine who you are, who you are determines what you do”.
As believers it’s important we understand it’s our position in Christ through the Cross that makes us an asset to the kingdom of God & not so much our level of performance as Martha discovered in Luke 10:38-42.
