Do you ever feel stuck in your spiritual life? I mean you're trying hard and you are doing all the right things but it's like where's God?

Where's the power? Where's the presence? Where's the love?

And you just can't figure out what's wrong.

I've been there.

And today I want to share some things I've learned to help you get unstuck. Thanks for joining us for this edition of Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram.

Chips our Bible Teacher for this international discipleship ministry focused on helping

Christians live like Christians. And in just a minute we'll pick up where Chip left off in

our series Bal life's demands.

Last time he explained how hypocrisy can derail our honest pursuit of a moral

God-honoring life.

Today Chip will unpack the second threat

Jesus highlighted for us in Matthew Chapter 5.

So go there in your Bible now as we join Chip with part two of his talk,

warning, personal discipline can be hazardous to your health.

He begins in verse 43.

He said, you have heard it said,

love your neighbor and hate your enemies.

But I tell you, love your enemies. And then listen listen to this pray for those who persecute you that

you may be sons of your father in heaven and the idea of sons especially in Hebrew culture

it has family likeness is the the idea. You'll be like your father in heaven.

He causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good, he sends rain on the righteous and the

unrighteous. If you love those who love you, duh, you know, what reward is that?
