Galatians
When we go to Galatians chapter 5 we find Paul telling us that we have hope
of righteousness by our faith. and that faith is worked by love.
He tells us that we are called by liberty but that we should not use
that liberty for self indulgence but to serve one another.
Paul describes the war between our flesh and our spirit.
In his list of works of the flesh he names, adultery and fornication,
idolatry, hated, wrath, strife, murders and drunkenness.
"I tell you before as I have told you in time past, that they which do
such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God" But the
fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness,
goodness , faith, meekness, temperance against such there is no law"

Where Have All The Good People Gone.
By Joan Estelle High
© 7-19-2010
When we read the headlines and listen to the news at night.
We wonder on the sad conditions in our world it seems more wrong than right.
Sometimes in our personal battles, when our way seems hard and dark.
We forget that others have passed along this endless trail, searching for the light.
You ask where have all the good people gone, did they all vanish into space?
They are still trudging quietly ahead of you on the road we call life.
They fill many roles, somebody's child, parents or just an ordinary wife.
With quiet determination they try daily to make this world a better place.
They work in hospitals and in schools, some run food banks
and each and every day they give their lives to help their fellow man.
Sometimes with little appreciation for all the good they do.
They know there is a job to do, , so they offer up their hands
From the cop on the beat, to the preacher man on Sunday.
Each of us has a role with a script that comes to us from God.
Sometimes our role is just to get up and go to work on Monday.
God's standards are very high and He never promised a clear road.
Only that He would be there to help carry our heavy load.
We never have to be the victim, Victory is our ultimate game.
Once we learn to conquer self, the way will be much clearer.
Then any earthly prizes won, be it fortune or be it earthly fame.
Will be much more appreciated and success be even dearer.
