    Living After the Flesh or Spirit | Ep 22

    Where does the Christian walk begin? In this episode of All Things for Good, Pastor Josh Strelecki explores what it means to live daily by God’s grace rather than by mere performance or law-keeping. While good works and activity should mark every believer’s life, the issue is not whether we work, but where that work comes from—the flesh or the Spirit. From Romans 6–8, Galatians, and 2 Corinthians, this episode explains that the believer is no longer under law but under grace. The law, though holy and good, exposes sin and demands performance from our weak flesh. Grace, by contrast, provides both the standing and the power we need—through the Spirit of God—to walk in newness of life. True Christian living flows from inward transformation by the Spirit, not outward effort in the flesh. Listeners will learn to recognize two major pitfalls: returning to the law (legalism) or chasing the world’s wisdom (carnal living). Both rob believers of joy and fruitfulness. Instead, God’s grace supplies all sufficiency to abound in good works, whether in marriage, service, or daily priorities. The Spirit teaches, renews the mind, and produces genuine godliness and love that the law or the flesh never could. This episode calls believers to root their walk in Christ’s finished work, to renew their minds in His Word, and to depend on His Spirit for strength. Living under grace protects from burnout, fosters true joy, and empowers a life that pleases God.

    The Christian's Understanding of The World

    When the Bible speaks of "the world," what does it mean, and how should Christians think differently about it than unbelievers do? In light of recent tragic events and ongoing violence, Pastor Josh Strelecki addresses the critical need for believers to understand the world through Scripture's lens rather than being conformed to its values. This episode explores four essential aspects: the world's nature, its opposition to God, the Christian's response, and the eternal contrast between worldly pursuits and God's will. Pastor Josh clarifies that while God loves the world's people, He opposes the world's system—marked by sin, vanity, darkness, and passing pleasures that stem from Adam's rebellion and Satan's deceptive influence. Drawing from Ecclesiastes, Psalms, and 1 John, Pastor Josh reveals the world's fundamental vanity and temporary nature. Even the richest, most powerful, and most reputable individuals possess nothing that can purchase eternal life or fulfill God's design. The world system actively opposes God through the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and pride of life, creating a culture of self-love, pleasure-seeking, and godlessness described in 2 Timothy 3. This system, energized by Satan as "the god of this world," blinds people to truth and convinces them that good is evil and evil is good, leading them to view God as their enemy rather than their loving Creator. The Christian's response must be rooted in love and transformation through Christ, who came as the light of the world to save people trapped in this system. While we cannot escape living in the world, believers are called to live differently—transformed by the renewing of our minds, setting our affections on things above, and taking every thought captive to Christ's obedience. We engage society, work, and family life but with eyes fixed above, using the world without being owned by it. The eternal contrast is clear: "The world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever" (1 John 2:17). Christians must remember that while the world is loud, flashy, and temporary, Christ is eternal, faithful, and unshakable—offering purpose and hope that will never disappoint.
