In Christianity, we understand that God created humans upright (Ecclesiastes 7:29), but we “have found all kinds of ways to be bad” (CNV). Throughout life, there is a war within us between a spirit that is willing and a flesh that is weak, and ultimately we either choose to remain the “natural man” who self-destructs, or we will choose to reach our full potential by becoming the “spiritual man” God intends and longs for us to be. Our 12 Foundations theme for this month is “Human Nature”. In this program, Ila, Cindy, and Alison kick off the conversation on this topic by considering what so easily “comes natural” to us humans, and how God says we can get out of our own way in our pursuit of spiritual maturity.
