Life With God vs. Live For God

Skye Jethani, senior editor of Leadership Journal and Out of Ur.com, gives his talk on The Nines online conference. He discusses a turning point in his ministry when he realized much of what we do "inoculates" people to the gospel because we emphasize living FOR God rather than living WITH him.

Very precise analysis of the problem of the church today. They are straying away from the true gospel

I realize this is an old post... but seems I needed to hear it... bang on!

BAM! You nailed this issue, Skye! Too many churches cause so many of us to stumble by getting us overly- focused on performance while neglecting our relationship with God. Until I can find a church that emphasises life WITH God, I'm better off having casual fellowship with believers. Thank you for drawing attention to this all-out distinction.

This was really good.

Hey Skye, love your talk here. Giving people a vision for what doing life with God looks like is a great calling. I look forward to seeing how that plays out.

With God is better than for God and then its also better to be of God & not for God Thabks for sharing

Skye this speaks wonders to where I am on my journey with God. Have you found any resources on living life with God since you posted this video?

Something in my flesh may sin. I am free from sin in my spirit. Romans 7. Church keeps us guilty. I should have avoided church and got on with my familly and career. I could have had a great life with God but for the church interference.
