     | 5,738 views

    Men require community of each other, beyond that we need the provision of God - air to breath, organs (over which we have no control) to function, water, land, food and so much more. Our God is completely unlike us in this - living eternally without need

    Have you ever found it hard to give to what you want to do? Most people will do what they want and forget what the Word of God says to do. We have to learn to die to self. We need to learn to walk in the Spirit that we do not fulfill the lust of the flesh

Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23) It’s probably fitting that “self-control” is the last fruit of the Spirit in our nine week study. It may be the most ...read more
