AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 9:25 Now every athlete who [goes into training and] competes in the games is disciplined and exercises self-control in all things. They do it to win a crown that withers, but we [do it to receive] an imperishable [crown that cannot wither]. |
Subject: self control / spirit control |
Bible Note: OK EdB, the heart is a deceitful organ isn't it? I too am surprised by the inconsistancies I have to deal with in my own! It makes me so grateful for the forgiveness and cleansing that God offers to us! But with your "brain" I hope you'll consider this too: "But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and disputes about the Law, for they are unprofitable and worthless." Titus 3:9 It seems to me that our friend has some blinders on, I hope that you will join me in prayer for him and those whom the Savior loves and gave His life for! Blessings, Mommapbs |
