8/31 Colossians 2:22-23
Such rules are mere human teaching about things that are gone as soon as we use them. These rules may seem wise because they require strong devotion, humility, and severe bodily discipline. But they have no effect when it comes to conquering a person’s evil thoughts and desires.
SIN
We are the repositories of all of our sin. Our mind seeks its own way. We cause our own problems. My sin is greater than all of the sin the world throws at me. Only when Jesus takes control of my life do I have a chance to deal with the sin in my life. My sin is pride, self-centeredness, seeking to take God’s place in my heart and refusing to walk God’s way. When Jesus forgives me for my sin I have a choice to make. Will I let the Lord control me or will I surrender control of my life and let Jesus have control of my?
