For we have already experienced “heart-circumcision,” and we worship God in the power and freedom of the Holy Spirit, not in laws and religious duties. We are those who boast in what Jesus Christ has done, and not in what we can accomplish in our own strength. It’s true that I once relied on all that I had become. I had a reason to boast and impress people with my accomplishments—more than others—for my pedigree was impeccable. I was born a true Hebrew of the heritage of Israel as the son of a Jewish man from the tribe of Benjamin. I was circumcised eight days after my birth and was raised in the strict tradition of Orthodox Judaism, living a separated and devout life as a Pharisee.

Get a glimpse into the rich truths in Bishop Courtney McBath’s book, Living at the Next Level. We weren’t meant to simply survive, or take hold of salvation merely to go to heaven. Instead, God desires us to take hold of the abundant, joyful, rewarding life that comes as a direct result of communion and relationship with Him!
There are three tenets in football that drive the game: We should focus on the basics, keep our eye on the ball, and never forget it is more than just a sport. In Philippians 3, the Apostle Paul wants us to get into Jesus’ frame of mind so that we can play the field just as He did. What was in Jesus’ mind? Can we get the same results?
Infinitum is a way of life centered on following Jesus by loving God and loving others, by emphasizing the habits and disciplines of surrender, generosity, and mission. We aim to see the Bible and the world through these Jesus-colored lenses.
LEAVE every place BETTER than you FOUND it. God wants you to rush for the good so that you don’t burn out! God wants to give us what we long for, but maybe He first wants to see if we live our lives AS THEY ARE with awareness and gratitude.
