Romans 8:5 “Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.” Where is your mindset? It is either in obeying God or in not obeying God. The world is simply made of these two camps. Every Christian is in the camp of following God and is being led by the Holy Spirit. Every Christian loves studying the Bible for that is where God exposes Himself and teaches us. His truths always dominate our thinking and our lives. Every faith question is resolved by studying His Word—-Enjoy studying that Word! Have a great weekend.
