November 5 What Are You Feeding? Galatians 5:19-23
** I am feeling blessed this morning! Last night, on my way home from church, several deer, on Applewhite Road, decided that I should be a target and I skillfully avoided 2, but struck one, and now I have a damaged 16-year-old car with a broken headlight, warped and dented side panel, broken and cracked bumper cover, and a driver’s side door that is difficult to open and close! Could be worse! So, now, I begin the search for another vehicle! Yippee… !! **

Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.” (Galatians 5:19-23)
I heard, in a sermon, many years ago, and it has remained with me all these years: “What is growing in your life? Remember, what you feed will grow and what you neglect will die!” Galatians 5:16 provides a clear direction for proper growth and edifying behavior: “Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh!” The “Flesh” will produce Hatred, Strife, Anger, Envy, Impurity, Divisions! The “Spirit” will produce Love, Peace, Longsuffering, Kindness, Goodness, Gentleness, and Self-Control! What is growing in your life? Remember, What You feed will Grow and what you neglect will die! Stay Strong, Stay Focused … THE BEST IS YET TO BE! (Reference: Christ Life Ministries)
