How are we different?

What makes a Christian different from a non-Christian?  Yes, I know that we have the eternal God living in us but to the world what do they see?  Christians have the same struggles as non-Christians.  They battle the same temptations, they often live just like their non-Christian neighbours.  So what makes them different?  It is not that they do good deeds, many non-Christians do good deeds and often they do them better.  The answer is that we have the living God with us.  When Moses faced the daunting task of leading the Israelites the Lord said that He would go with them.  Moses replied that he would not go if the Lord did not go with them.  Does the world know that we have the living God with us or do they see us as just another "do-gooder"?

We live by the spirit not the flesh. We really need to do a study on the Holy Spirit Joe ;)

You are right but I am never that good at topical studies. However, doctrinal studies are important. My father loved to teach doctrine, maybe I should follow his example.
