The good news story starts with the death of Jesus. Our good news story for us starts with being united with Jesus Christ in his death. We died with Christ in order to be raised with him. We know that our old self was crucified with him so we would no longer be a slave to sin. The person without the Spirit of God living in him died and was crucified. A new creation was raised and Jesus is fully alive in us.

Marriage is a unique relationship between one man and one woman. Within that unique relationship we have the opportunity to serve one individual, living out the relationship we have with Christ. Husband are to love their wives as Christ loved the church and wives are to submit and respect their husbands. That doesn't define roles or hierarchy. Depend upon God and His Holy Spirit to carry out these roles. The husband and wife are to be controlled by the love of God. The result is a wonderful and satisfying relationship.

2 Corinthians 3:17 "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." God's desire for us is freedom. Unfortunately so many Christians are putting themselves back under bondage.

Bart Millard of Mercy Me is our special guest on today's broadcast. Bart's story has been amplified recently in the remarkable success of the movie based on his life ... I Can Only Imagine. Bart says "Somewhere along the way, we don't trust that what God did was real. But when we trust that God has our best interest in mind, we become like a kid with a power tool! If you trust that God is madly in love with you, all of the other stuff will fall into place."

Tomorrow is a very special day when we as Americans celebrate the freedom we've been given. And every I think about that freedom, I'm reminded of the real freedom that we have in Jesus Christ. What is this freedom we have? Romans 8:1-4 "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. ..."

Freedom is our theme for the month of July. As precious as our freedom is in the United States, there is nothing more important than the freedom we have in Christ Jesus! John 8:31-32 tells us "Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

Do you take the time to see your mate as God sees them? When you begin to see them in this light it will revolutionize your marriage relationship. God says your mate (if they are a believer) is blessed in Christ with every spiritual blessing. He/she is complete in Christ Jesus. Often our struggle in marriage is that we feel our mate needs to be fixed. We don't have to worry about that because God has given your mate everything he/she needs for life and godliness. Ephesians 1:3 and 2 Peter 1:3

"Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch", doesn't work. So what is the Christian life? Have you been made alive in Christ? "Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God." Colossians 3:1

Trust in the power of God to conquer sin and temptation. Rules and regulations do not work. The more we try to legislate our lives the more difficult it is to experience the abundant life that Christ died to give us. "Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: 'Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!'? ... Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom ... but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence (Colossians 2:20-23)

In 1 John 2 the writer encourages young men: "I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one." In order to understand the truth of the Word of God, we need to rely upon the Holy Spirit to teach us the truth of His Word. Abide therefore in the Word and rest in Him.
