Well, we have begun to look at the works of the flesh and the fruits of the Spirit, and by looking at the list Paul gives us in Galatians chapter 5 verses 19 to 24 and at the speed we are moving, you may be thinking it may be a long time before we come to the fruit of these messages. Well rest assured, we will get there. Because I feel that when we come to this list and others like it in scripture, we often go over them like some check list. We simply go over them, checking them off one at a time saying, nope, nope, nope, that one doesn't apply to me so nope, nope, and nope, all done and on we go with the reading of the word. And we fail to recognize the soft and subtle beginnings of the things we allow into the soul, in allowing a little bit of it here and a little bit of it there, little things that one day will grow into these works of the flesh. |
