Today's First Reading

The first reading caught my eye and imagination this morning. In a quick wrap up it is just a comment on how to basically live our everyday lives. Please take a look and reflect and let's see how really live our lives and what changes are required to live the correct way.

Reading 1 Galatians 5: 18-25

Brothers and sisters:
If you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness, dissensions, factions, occasions of envy,drinking bouts, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God. In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
   Against such there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also follow the Spirit.
