CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Our word today come from Galations 5:22-25
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.

On spring break this week, there was a conversation between my BIL and his aunt in which I was a silent participant.  He’s currently living with his girlfriend and he opened the door for her to comment, “You know you’re living in sin.” “I know I am, but…(irrelevant and unremembered reply).” “But you don’t have to.  It’s a choice.”  And she was dead on.

Our sins are a choice that we make.  Our society has made sin easy, convenient, and accepted as the cultural norm.  But what messages are we sending to our children, our wives, our fellow PAX, and our communities by accepting and engaging willingly in sin?  What example are we setting?  We have an example set forth by Jesus Christ of how to act, both in private and in public.  The Holy Spirit resides in those of us who have accepted Him and guides us and enables us to walk in faith and produce the fruits of the Spirit.  Do you recognize these traits in your fellow PAX?  Your family?  Yourself?  Start with yourself.  Get right with God.    Focus on your form and lead by example.  Live by the Spirit.  Keep in step with the Spirit.  Live for Him and become a true HIM.
