  • God is prodding

    I don't know if I should love or hate how God is prodding me right now about my behavior. Seems like everywhere I turn lately, he is seriously convicting me. OUCH!!!

    Case in point, this week's Sunday school lesson is about throwing off the old self and taking on a new one (Col. 3:1-17). The first set of things listed in v.5 are the easier ones for me: sexual immorality, lust, impurity, covetousness. It's the things in v.8 that kill me: anger, wrath, malice, slander, foul language. I do not like myself when these things escape my mouth, so why is it so hard for me to throw them off and take on the new me in Christ?
