    How To Live By The Spirit's Leading: The Spirit Vs. The Flesh In Galatians 5-6 Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Feb 5, 2024
     | 2,152 views

    If you do allow the Holy Spirit to lead your life, then you naturally won’t want to gratify the desires of the flesh. But, if you allow the flesh to lead your life, then you will naturally begin to gratify the desires of the flesh. Live by the Spirit's leading!

    I recall an episode of Star Trek Voyager that always hit me very hard. It was called Timeless.

     | 7,094 views

    The would-be servant of God, whether waiting at table, ushering at the door, distributing to the poor, or preaching the gospel, must be of a blameless character and reputation.

    THE CHRISTIAN CHARACTER OF STEPHEN THE MARTYR. Acts 6:1-15.
