A Work in Progress

You know what they say, “Just a little yeast causes all the dough to rise,” so even the slightest detour from the truth will take you to a destination you do not desire. Galatians 5:9 The Voice

13 Brothers and sisters, God has called you to freedom! Hear the call, and do not spoil this gift by using your liberty to engage in what your flesh desires; instead, use it to serve each other as Jesus taught through love.


16 Here’s my instruction: walk in the Spirit, and let the Spirit bring order to your life. If you do, you will never give in to your selfish and sinful cravings


26 This will happen when we set aside our self-interests and work together to create true community instead of a culture consumed by provocation, pride,and envy.


Galatians 6 The Voice 

Make no mistake: God can’t be mocked. What you give is what you get. What you sow, you harvest. Those who sow seeds into their flesh will only harvest destruction from their sinful nature. But those who sow seeds into the Spirit shall harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. May we never tire of doing what is good and right before our Lord because in His season we shall bring in a great harvest if we can just persist. 10 So seize any opportunity the Lord gives you to do good things and be a blessing to everyone, especially those within our faithful family.

Following in the path of the Spirit is not a chore; instead it opens us up to experiencing the life God has for us.



1 Corinthians 8 
We sometimes tend to think we know all we need to know to answer these kinds of questions—but sometimes our humble hearts can help us more than our proud minds. We never really know enough until we recognize that God alone knows it all.
1-3

11-13 Christ gave up his life for that person. Wouldn’t you at least be willing to give up going to dinner for him—because, as you say, it doesn’t really make any difference? But it does make a difference if you hurt your friend terribly, risking his eternal ruin! When you hurt your friend, you hurt Christ. A free meal here and there isn’t worth it at the cost of even one of these “weak ones.” So, never go to these idol-tainted meals if there’s any chance it will trip up one of your brothers or sisters.


Unity       I will                         I want

That's      Ask                           HUMILITY 
My           For forgiveness           Please Holy Spirit

This         LOVE                         Humility
Year         Is                             I want to reap
Will          My HEART'S                a harvest of humility
Be            CRY                          Of unconditional love
Different    The sacrificial             and Unity
God          KIND                         For this YEAR
Already     OF LOVE                     This YEAR 
Promised me    IF it means                IS
That THIS year  We can have        DEFINITELY 
Will                  UNITY                       DIFFERENT 
Not                  I WANT to                I won't SETTLE 
Be                   BE what the bible           For DIVISION 
Like LAST Year     Teaches                    NOT another year of 
There                  WE ARE ONE BODY             DIVISIVENSS 
Will NOT be          I want to tear down         It's time to get on a
Division                The pride that so easily      HOLY ANGER 
This                      TRIPS                          AND START FIGHTING FOR
Year                      TRIPS                         EACH OTHER 
I am                       TRIPS                        And against the enemy 
Willing                       TRIPS                     Who is the cause of all this
To LAY                          ME UP                  Previous tearing each other apart

Do not stumble                         Is A
I will not make excuses              Free-flow
For my actions           What seemed like a 
I will own                  Hurricane of chaotic control
I will OWN                 Now becomes orderly
My mistakes              When I finally let go

I guess the two things I want to fight against in my life is getting prideful, wanting to be in control, and jealousy. I just really want to love each other and be humble enough to accept whatever I did to make someone else stumble and change so they can walk their walk of faith easier. I want humility so things can work out and we can all just get along. Also just accepting who God made me to be and not always comparing myself to other people.
