Live Like We're Alive

John 10:10, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

April here again. Why is it that a lot of us Christians act as if the resurrection has never happened? What I mean to say is that we believe in the crucifixion of Christ, but we don’t celebrate in the resurrection. Jesus’ tomb is empty, he beat death, so why not rejoice in that fact? Why not live life to the full, instead of just surviving day to day? Jesus didn’t live a ho hum life, so why should we?

As stated above, the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. We can’t allow satan a fold hold into our lives. We can’t allow him to lie to us, making us think that we have to be sullen and somber all the time. Or, even worse, living a life with no substance.

That’s not to say that there’s not a time to be serious, not a time to be mourn, to weep, etc. As Lamentations states, there’s a time and a season for everything. But even in our more troubled seasons, we can still live life to the full. One thing that Todd has really impressed upon me is praising God in the midst of troubling circumstances. What an eye opener that was.

As I say on the air, here’s something for you to chew on.

Live Like We're Alive-Nevertheless
They say we can’t make it throughtoo young; don’t know what to do. This life is much too hard for you and me. They say we’re living in our dreams black, white, and nothing in between. This world is never as it seems to be. But they don’t want thisand they don’t feel thisbut this was never theirs at all!
So here I stand.
I’m ready for anything.
Just a man, but I’m giving everything.
We’re here only for a second
and then we’re gone when we least expect it.
So do more than survive.
Let’s live like we’re alive!

They say, “Stay inside the lines we’ve drawn
and you will be just fine. Don’t take chances
with your life. C’mon.” But they don’t want this,
and they don’t feel this, but this was never theirs at all!

So here I stand.
I’m ready for anything.
Just a man, but I’m giving everything.
We’re here only for a second
and then we’re gone when we least expect it.
So do more than survive.
Let’s live like we’re alive!

This world, we’ve gotta let it go.
This life is out of our control.

So here I stand. I’m ready for anything.
Just a man, but I’m giving everything.
We’re here only for a second
and then we’re gone when we least expect it.
So do more than survive. Let’s live like we’re alive!
