j.d. greear on ephesians 5:8-21

"...you know how hard it is to get up from a good sleep?  getting up is difficult.  paul said it is so easy, spiritually, to slumber in the sleep of complacency because you're living in a world that's like a grave..
hey, i'll just relax, no need to study God's word today.. snooze,
no need to volunteer in ministry, i just feel like watching TV and being alone.. snooze,
no need to have that difficult conversation.. snooze..
paul says, 'GET UP!'  time is short, when life is war, you don't sleep, you have to get up and you have to fight...
the christian life is struggle, and if we're going to make it, we have to declare absolute war on the gravitational pull of the world, a world that is sleeping, a world that is dark, and a world that is in the grave."
