I am happlily married with 5 kids. I am an accoutant and worked in an accounting field for over 25 years. I like to make a habit of writing down whenever I have deep thoughts about God (so I won't forget). I really into Reformed Theology that is connected to Presbyterian Church in America.

Carnal and Their Fruit.....

That's life.... everywhere we go, there will ALWAYS be certain group of people that will irritates and mock. I have been called "doubter" and other names. I am used to this since I have been mocked when I was a kid for being "different" by being "disable". Carnal Christians are EVERYWHERE. Carnal person is a Christian who still has self on the throne (selfishness). Christ is still in there somewhere, running around, but He is not in charge, and the life is still in chaos. There's no Lordship. For a Spiritual Christian, Self is off the throne (self-less), Christ is on it, and the life is all in order. There's Lordship. Lordship is LOVE. 1 Corinthians 13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. Matthew 22:36-38 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'This is the first and greatest commandment. As Christ said, Matthew 7:16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Matthew 7:20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. Fruit of the Spirit is WHAT?
