Romans 8: 1-17
I'm fighting a decade old addiction with lust and i'm determined to anahilate it this year through the power of grace and not legalism. Very often I compare those sinners I love agaisn't Christians, how much more at ease and accepted I am. I want to be a better Christian in my mind, not picking and choosing what I have to be grateful for. Verse 13 implies that when I consider the appeal of women or belonging as something that is hateful I may ignore and more easily handle the temptations that is to come. I don't want to be the type of father who's child walks in on me watching porn, and neither do I want to be held back by my sin indulging past/crowd. I should be the best spiritual leader God can allow me to be not just for the sake of others but also myself.
Prayer/reflection:
- love and pray for Vicky that she may be the best representation of you that she can be to her family
- put to death my lustful and ungrateful thoughts
- pray persistently that Cape Town may be loved by not just our Vision team but also our Church
- verse 17 to live as Jesus did serving others, giving up ones own rights, resisting pressures to conform to the world etc
