Inside each Christian, there are two factions, warring for control. The physical carnal self, and the new creation - the purified soul cleansed by the blood of Christ.

We look on the beauty of the spring and we see the visible evidence of God’s power, but if we take time to read His Word, we can feel the evidence of His power changing our very lives.

Garbage in… Garbage out. We have to put into our mind, body, and spirit things that will give the results that we want to see. If we dull our spiritual appetite by constantly filling our mind with useless information or less than wholesome images and sounds, we never get hungry for the good stuff we should and could be feasting on.

We have a tree growing in a place it seems like it shouldn’t be able to, and while doing so, it provides shelter, protection, and life to those around it. Isn’t that exactly what we should be doing as Christians?

We all have decisions to make, every single day. Which aspect of our life are we going to feed? Are we going to feed our hunger for physical comfort, our hunger for mental entertainment, or our need for spiritual growth?
