Who Am I In Christ?

"Our flesh is very creative. It knows how to refine itself. It knows how to polish itself. It knows how to perfect itself. But it is still flesh! And it is rotten to the core." As Jerry Benjamin artfully explains, this is exactly why the Christian life begins when Christ reigns at the core.
