Ya ya Matt is has been a while since I wrote on my blog. So sue me like Falconburgs.
So its been a while since I wrote on the ole blog. Not a lack of stuff to write about just lack of time and motivation.
So I had a bar-room debate with my buddy the other night. Don't worry it didn't lead to any broken bottles over the head, just brused egos.
Instead of divulging the details of our discussion I would rather share a verse that I heard the other day. It really reminded me of my friend. I felt bad about comeding him but this verse really talked to me. If we live in the spirit we will not desire the sin that life offers.
Life by the Spirit
16So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. 17For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. 18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.
19The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
In case any body but me, myself and I and Matt read this I just want to dislcaim that I and not writing about my blog to air my dirt laundry. Writing is my therpery in dealing with things that stress me out things that are on my heart and mind.
