Boundaries
As Christians, we are to live inside the boundaries of God's Kingdom. Wade Ford gives us 4 reasons Christians move their boundaries, only one of which is a good reason. 1) To align ourselves with God. 2) Lack of endurance. 3) Temptations. 4) Desires. When we move our boundaries to align ourselves with God and live within His kingdom, we live blessed. When we move our boundaries for any other reason, it is to leave outside the boundaries of the Kingdom of God.
