The reason for avoiding carnality... A little leaven leavens the whole lump How true indeed, A tiny taste of sugar is enough to induce a frenzy leading to the whole bowl being consumed. It's necessary that in order fulfill our true potential we be not brought down to our knees by temptations and worldly pining. The enemy is very convincing indeed when it comes to he rationalization of such thoughts, but know that such thoughts are folly and will ultimately lead one down the road to perdition. A slippy slope one might say in response. Well, perhaps it is indeed a slippy slope, and when sliding down there is only one way to be delivered from this predicament. And that is through Christ, who is not only the way but the truth and the life. Seek ye first his kingdom and one shall remain on the road to prosperity. Seek first the Lord and the enemy will flea, for the demons also believe and tremble. Stronger is he who is in you than he who is prince of this world. Thank you Lord Jesus.
