Amen Terry ever the obedient son walking in blessing and  fleeing youthful lust.  I know what you mean as the alcohol addiction is in my family also so I stay away from that and am thankful that husband and children are not involved with it.  jt   On Sat, 23 Jul 2005 12:38:52 -0500 Terry Clifton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: I am very aware that the old man still lurks in the darkness, more than ready to take over if allowed to do so.  "There is nothing good in me" is a statement that applies to anyone without the mind of Christ.   I stopped drinking twenty years ago because one was too many and a case was not enough.  Twenty years later there isn't much that sounds better than a cold long neck beer,  but I know better than to have one, and I thank the Lord for the strength He has given me that enables me to not go that route. ============================== David Miller wrote: Amen! Terry, do you recognize that while you are not living in these things now, that they lie still within your physical body dormant and would awaken should you yield to them? For example, if you were to begin to lust after women with your eyes, would your body not respond and want more? Except for the spirit of Christ and mind of Christ in you, would such not lead you toward adultery if you were to give yourself over to it? This is what I mean by referring to the sin nature that exists within our flesh. Do you think that Jesus had this same kind of male body, that would be attracted toward females in ways that would not glorify his Father were he to yield solely to the desires of his body? Peace be with you. David Miller. ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
