Guest Robert Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Sin and ourselves. We can blame anything or anyone else, but it all boils down to how sin affects the flesh or "the old man" as scripture calls it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many believers, who for a time run well, get so entangled in the business or the pleasure of life, the literature, or the politics, or the friendships of the world, that all the life and the power of their profession (in Christ) is lost. They do not understand that they must always walk by faith (in God's CALLING on their life) -- that every day and every hour nothing can help us but a clear, definite, habitual faith in God's power and working, as the only possibility of growth and progress. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
