Way too often people think that the Christian life involves only subtraction--what we don't do, what we give up, and seek to take away. I was reminded this evening that view living as the Lord would have us live in this way is a sure route to failure. Passages like Colossians two talk about that which is added--chiefly a relationship of being in Christ and He in us, that is the basis of that which is taken away.

It's STTA.
