As we are studying through the book of Galatians, a few weeks ago, we came to Galatians 5:19, where Paul is speaking of the deeds of the flesh. And he says now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are, and then what follows is a whole catalog of evil telling us of what we're capable of in terms of our sinful flesh.

And so I just encourage you to take advantage of that, because no doubt I am going to raise more questions this morning....
