Personally, I have never had a weakness toward substance abuse (I have never been drunk, nor have done drugs, nor tobacco, etc.) and I "don't get it" why others have these weaknesses, but that is human nature: we "don't get it," until we ourselves have the same problem. My weakness (not surprisingly): being self-righteous, something I struggle with daily. This really nails it. At least for me, and I suspect most of us, there's always something we get tempted with day by day. Fortunately we're covered for that by the blood of Jesus.

Paul was not aware of thing against himself, but just because he wasn’t aware of anything didn’t mean he did have any, then he goes on to say it is the Lord that is the One to say…. Many blessings as today, (Lord willing), we walk in more righteousness than yesterday, and tomorrow more still… To the growing in Him, a fellow grower, Not me Agreed. unknown sin could be revealed, by The Lord, as sin later on.

"Therefore, my beloved, run [keep far, far away] from [any sort of] idolatry [and that includes loving anything more than God, or participating in anything that leads to sin and enslaves the soul]." I like that word flee "To flee, escape, shun. by analogy, to vanish." Keep the faith, walk by faith live by faith and remember His promises and at all costs do not let what's happening in the world distract you. @TheBlade Good verses there.......... The Lord is indeed faithful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
