Healthy boundaries are an essential part of life. When we are children the adults in our life attempt to set boundaries for us that offer protection and stability. As adolescents most of us do our best to push against the boundaries in some form or fashion as we attempt to establish our own identity. When we grow into adulthood we discover a entirely new perspective on life and boundaries. Professionally, relationally, personally, economically, and socially we discover multiple levels of boundaries that impact our daily lives.

 

But what about spiritual boundaries? I am not talking about rules and regulations intended to control us spiritually. I am talking about spiritual boundaries that are designed by God to create health and growth in our life. Actions and attitudes that cultivate the image of Jesus in those of us who follow Him. Decisions that develop us when we choose to step into a relationship with the one who actually created us. Convictions and concepts that help us become who we were made to be.

 

This Fall here at East Side we are going to take a deeper look into the spiritual boundaries God designs to help us live with wholistic, holy health. I invite you to join us and bring a friend as we take a look at “Life InBounds”.
