Good morning! How are we faithing? I've noticed behavior that was unacceptable decades ago is now accepted. I have pondered if that statement is true or the media just makes it more in the forefront. Maybe it's some of both. I read about the same goings on in ancient history as today and it is bewildering why we humans keep repeating history. Politically, spiritually and personally we seem to not learn. The things we think we are blazing new trails with are not new at all but the same ol spirit driving human vanity. That encompasses so many things but if we ever expect to improve we must use the Word as our guide or we will repeat over and over. The words I and Me starts a snowball rolling that if we are not careful becomes so big it can run over us. Have you ever considered why we do the things we do? Have you ever been honest and recognized your own faults, admitted you need guidance and then accepted it? It's hard to humble ones self when vanity and selfishness has permeated a mind. Man, the Word is the only thing that teaches us how to do just that. The world just keeps repeating selfish behavior. Take the time to look out beyond self today, resist acting and speaking before you ask from where are these actions coming from because if we continue in self centered and vain ways, we will destroy ourselves.
Eph 4:17-19
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the Gentiles also walk, in the vanity of their mind, being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their heart; who being past feeling gave themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Eph 4:17-19
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the Gentiles also walk, in the vanity of their mind, being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their heart; who being past feeling gave themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Rom 8:5-8
For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace: because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be: and they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
remember Tommy Young family...remember Jeff Penn...remember the emergency workers out there...
