Podcast: Light on Life Season Twelve Episode Thirty-Two
Carnality isn’t a comfortable topic for followers of Jesus, and it becomes even more challenging when we talk about “crucifying” it. Yet, crucifying our carnality is key to a truly happy life. The Bible lays out the keys to real life in Jesus, and who doesn’t want that kind of genuine happiness? The problem arises when there’s a mixture of affections. Many love Jesus, but also indulge in the sins of the world. This creates misery, and happiness evades them. Francis Chan said, “It’s like loving lemonade and Frappuccino and drinking from both instead of one or the other. It will make you sick. Loving the world and loving God will make you miserable.”1 Some things just don’t mix, like oil and water. While some things complement each other, other mixtures are toxic. The interests of the world and God are contradictory; spiritual life and carnality are the same way. They are mutually exclusive. First Corinthians 10:21 states, “You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too.” Therefore, the path to real happiness and genuine spirituality involves cutting off the carnal component – what the Bible calls “crucifying.” This week’s Light on Life podcast tackles this very subject: “How to Crucify Carnality and Live a Happy Life.”
