The scripture refers to our fallen human nature as the "flesh". In the book of Galatians, the Apostle Paul provides a list of what the flesh looks like. We typically recognize the things on the top of the list (adultery, fornication, lewdness) and the bottom of the list (murder, drunkenness, revelries) as flesh. What about the things in the middle of the list (hatred, contention, wrath)? - Confronting The "Middle Flesh".

The Apostle Paul tells the Thessonalian church in no uncertain terms, the will of God.

Shortly after Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, He came riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. He was then greeted by a large crowd of people with palm branches who were shouting "Hosanna!

One day as Jesus was fasting, the devil came to Him and said, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become bread." Jesus replied, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’” Jesus rejected the devil's suggestion because He was under a different authority. - Our Authority.

Have you ever been to a huge mall or park and were so glad to find the map? The first thing you look for is the arrow that points to your current location. This arrow has a message attached to it that says, "You Are Here". This is helpful because it gives you a sense of perspective and direction. As we face the complexities of this life, we can take comfort that the Holy Spirit has revealed to us all the different ways that God has blessed us (1 Corinthians 2:7-14). This too gives us that same sense of perspective and direction. - You Are Here.
