Peter says sinful desires "wage war against your soul."
Notice where the battle is.
Not first with your boss.
Not with your neighbor.
Not with your culture.
The battle starts inside of you.
Let's be honest.
It's easy to blame everyone else for our problems.
But the person I have the most trouble with is me.
The person you have the most trouble with is you.
Every day there's a choice.
Will I feed my flesh?
Or will I follow Jesus?
One leads to regret.
The other leads to freedom.
