Laziness is the greatest enemy to a girded mind.
Need to wrestle in prayer – only after I’m certain that I’ve prepared my mind for action, do I conclude my time with God
God only delays the coming Day of the Lord in order for more people to come to repentance
Mind of Flesh
Old self with a mind of flesh requires more and more sensation, wanting to “feel” alive, to overcome its callousness
flirtation to a pure friendship
gossip to a righteous conversation
alcohol to a friendly gathering
pornography to a web search
shoplifting to a normal shopping trip
Not about setting rules – do not do this or that (Colossians 2:20-23 – has no value)
