Exiled Pt 2 - A Shortage of Crazy

I don't know if you consider your own journey of faith to be one of "exile," but scripturally, it is! Peter says as much in 1 Peter 2 when he addresses us as "strangers and exiles" in this world. As Christians, we are not of this world. Innately we know this, but practically, we often forget it. To make life even more challenging as exiled Christians, we are all still a "work in progress." We are being sanctified, but we are still sinful. We still do and say things we don't want to do, because sin still lingers in us until the day God glorifies us with new bodies.
