http://www.gospelines.com "It's Just My Nature" Duke is ninety pounds of muscle, short black hair, and the smartest dog I have ever seen. He moonwalks, says his prayers, shakes hands, falls over dead upon command, walks around me three times when I say "circle the genius," catches a Frisbee, plays pitch with a basketball, turns in circles when I tell him to act like a woman, etc., etc. He has a repertoire of 10 tricks and would do more but I am not smart enough to teach him. Generally, he is a very good pet; but, he is a dog with a potentially aggressive nature. Duke is half Doberman and half Pit-bull. For that reason, I am very careful to remind him that I am the leader of the pack and he is to remain submissive to me upon verbal command at all times. Christians are prone to act in a certain way because of our teaching, training, and our faith. It is not impossible for a person to talk like a Christian, live a somewhat Christian lifestyle, even go to church occasionally and not be a born-again believer. Inside every person is a human nature which has the potential of giving each of us a surprisingly aggressive attraction to sin. For that reason, we need to be reminded who we are and who God is. Submission to the Father is essential in all that we do. GospeLines Prayer: Father, I submit my will to You. Correct my tendencies toward sin and channel my desires toward right living. I praise You as my Master and my Lord. O.
