Heavenly Finish Line 2 Corinthians 5:8

We see in 2 Corinthians that Paul was seeking to vindicate himself and expose the false apostles who were disrupting the church which was causing division.  In today's world, disruption and division is celebrated while community is not honored like it once was so many years ago.

The only posture that will bring true power into our lives is the posture of prayer.  I always begin my prayers by confessing this posture.  It involves a humble heart on bended knee at the foot of the Cross.  This is a posture of humility.  We humble ourselves before God as a way of acknowledging our need for His strength to become active in our lives.
