Some things I learned today on the Abiding Life videos.
1. Self-righteousness is a main contributor to living in defeat. This means that I'm trying to become righteous through my own efforts.
2. "I can't" opens the Abiding Door, while "I can" closes it. I have to admit I can do nothing in my own strength and have to depend on Jesus to do it through me.
3. Long-term victory over sin and the flesh comes as moment by moment I open the abiding door of my heart.
4. God allows failure and defeat in my life to bring me to an awareness of my need for abiding in Christ. (See 2 Corinthians 12:9-10.)

The Abiding Life
I mentioned this on FaceBook, but wanted to post it here too. I just started an online course called BeliefChangers Basics of the Abiding Life. I had already determined that I would focus this year on abiding in Christ. Then I came across this course. It's no coincidence, I'm sure. So far, I've watched three videos and each one has more information than the one before. It's changing my life. Go to my FaceBook page and find the link there.
