The great risk of a balanced life is that it puts the focus in the wrong place. Balance becomes all about me; my values, my sense of fulfillment, my stress, my resources, and on and on and…. The Bible does not speak about balance. It does speak about rest, it does speak about priorities, but it does not use the equivalent of balance. The less than obvious reason is that the quest for balance puts me on the throne of my life and Christ in a secondary position. The Christian does not seek balance, but a more radical shift under the leading of God the Holy Spirit. The maturing follower of Jesus seeks God above all. Our fall series is titled „Centered Life‟. We have designed it to examine six radiant spokes that support Christ at the core of our being. Today‟s message, “Choosing Christ”, challenges us to make an ongoing choice to follow Jesus Christ in all of life.
