This morning Dana's message, Dana is the Pastor at Five Points Baptist Church, was taken from the 7th and 8th chapters of Romans.
Some key points:
When we sin, and we all sin, it always ends up hurting us. It also often hurts people around us.
We tend to focus on the the physical and forget that we are in a spiritual battle. We need the help of Christ if we are to resist the temptation to sin.
Satan loves it when we rely on ourselves to fight sin. We will lose. We must enlist the assistance of Jesus to fight the battle.
We need to look to God every day and ask Him to show us right from wrong.
Christians should be the most accepting people in the world. We know that we are sinners. We have had our eyes opened to our sin and have no excuse. Those who have not accepted Christ are still blind.
Satan will make sure non-believers can't see the truth. (I think this last item is part of the explanation for the shape of our nation. Our government continues to increase the rewards for negative behavior and seems to be shocked when we get more of it.)
After church I went to College Station and had lunch at the Golden Corral. I ate there once with Fred and Gail. It was good, but I tend to overeat. I want to make sure I get my moneys worth, no matter how miserable it makes me <grin>.
I then stopped by Walmart and picked up a few groceries. The cashier happened to be a young (college age) black man who had checked me out before. He has such a pleasant spirit. I should have mentioned it to him.
Once back at camp I fed the cat, fed the fish in the aquarium and switched a load of camp laundry from the washer to the dryer.
RV chores. I mopped/washed the ceramic floor tiles and vacuumed! Hooray! I also washed a load of my clothes in the camp washer. I've got them in the dryer now. I need to go over and get them after I post this.
It was in the low 80's again today, almost to warm. I forgot to mention that the Pastor and his son rode their motorcycles to church this morning. One of the has Ninja and the other has a Ducati. Both looked like they have been "tweaked" to run.
Good night to all. May God bless you and yours.
