Scripture verse for today:

My Lord and Savior, you have told me that if I live by the Spirit, I will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. Galatians 5:16

Hmm...this is a very thought provoking verse. When I think of sinful nature, I think of those who are struggling with drug or alcohol addiction. Or those who are married and having extramarital affairs. But, there are other things one can do to be considered "sinful nature". And I'm sure we are all guilty of something either now or in the past. Ordinary gossip about other people is a sin and one I am guilty of. And if I think hard enough, I could probably come up with a whole long list of things I'm guilty of.

More later today....
