Someone asked on my youtube video today about the fact hat he feels guilty for not wanting to stop drinking.

“The flesh is untrainable. It’s like a wild ass. According to Galatians 4, the flesh is like Ishmael, a bondservant that’s always trying to work for a wage and persecute the children of promise, and it’s eventually cast out. And remember, Ishmael was a wild ass of a man, and his hand was against all

:I’ve been considering the concept of “being led by the spirit.” I’ve noticed that some people have a mistaken understanding of what that means in the context of Christianity. They think that being led by the spirit means performing grandiose works and receiving specific directions from the spirit. But in reality, being led by the

We’re created to be hungry and thirsty for the riches of the good land, but if we’re not satisfied, we’ll be hungry for other things as well. What we need is our thirst to be satisfied, and the water from the rock is what satisfies. We need Christ, and no one should call you rebellious
