Well, this message will take us to the halfway mark in looking at the sins or works of the flesh of Galatians chapter 5, and I hope that in working through some of these things, we begin to see how the root of these things originate within our hearts. So that we don't just go over them as some check list thinking that they don't apply to me and carry on, but that each one of us, including myself would pause and think about where these things begin, and examine where they come from, and what they do in my life.
I have continually talked to you about that empty chamber of our soul that is inside all of us, a chamber in which all kinds of things enter in, including such things as temptations, and when we add in our own desires and enticements to that chamber, to that mixture, we have to make the choice of either igniting that mixture or not. If we do, sin is conceived and will bring forth death as the book of James says. |
