    Live Out Thy Life Within Me Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 17, 2025

    Dying daily is surrendering control so Christ’s life may flow freely—trusting His Spirit, not our feelings, to guide every moment.

    1. When the Pilot Lets Go Faith is learning to fly with someone else’s hands on the controls. You can’t see everything. You can’t always feel what’s happening. And the day comes when the Spirit says, “You’ve got it,” and suddenly you realize He’s teaching you to trust—not to steer. The apostle ...read more

    In the beginning, God formed humanity from the dust of the ground and breathed into that dust the breath of life. The Bible’s first portrait of us is not of a ghostly spirit floating toward heaven but of a living, breathing unity — flesh animated by divine breath. Body and spirit, dust and glory. ...read more
