I heard a top 10 list on the radio this morning. \u00a0It was a top 10 list of what Americans are watching on TV. \u00a0I got me to thinking about the spiritual state of the United States. Every person loves what they spend time with. \u00a0Their heart, left unchecked, will follow after what they desire.<\/p>\n

\"Top<\/a><\/p>\n

Now read Galatians 5:19-23 and compare the “works of the flesh” and the “fruit of the Spirit” with the list above.<\/p>\n

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
\nIdolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
\nEnvyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
\nBut the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
\nMeekness, temperance: against such there is no law.<\/p>\n

Galatians 5:19-23 (KJV)<\/p>\n

What is your conclusion?<\/p>\n

God bless, Mike<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
