do I live a lie?

"Were mildly attracted to Jesus’ virtues, but were strongly attracted to our vices. We wouldn't like to loose them because they please us, and the prospects of a significant life with Jesus doesn’t please us as much. Do we expect a new Christian life will just happen without us having to make inconvenient changes with how we live on Monday to Sunday? If so, were like people who want to be solvent, and max out their credit cards, or people who want to be sexually pure and bookmark porn sights. People who want to learn Chinese, but without all the tiresome study that is required with that. " That is from an article in Christianity today's September, 2006 episode. A powerful statement about self sacrifice. I have heard our spiritual nature and our human nature compared to Dog's. The one that we feed the most will obviously be the stronger one, and be able to over power the week. This suggestion technically isn't theologically sound, but I like it anyway. This is scary in a world where the average Christian only spends 4 minutes in prayer a day. I believe in Grace most of all, but that grace doesn’t justify our destruction of ourselves. The beauty of God though his Grace is He can allow any Sin in our lives to show us the freedom we can receive in Him.
