As one colloquial expression puts it 'garbage in, garbage out' .
This year, we are going to have an ongoing “Keeping 'It' Real” segment. “It” being “the truth,” as “it” is, in Jesus.
[Pastor; Ephesians 4:20-21]
In order that we might truly be renewed in the spirit of our minds, the Comforter is going to refine our diet; and teach us, the more, Christ IN us, the hope of glory.
[Ephesians 4:22; John 14:26; Colossians 1:27]
Here is the opening salvo: “(the 'new') man lives by both bread and bread; aka, a double PICC (or life) line;” for the maintenance of the body, and the inner man.
[Pastor]
“For man shall not live by (natural) bread alone, but by every word (the living bread) that proceeds out of the mouth of God.”
[Matthew 4:4]
While we need “a body” to do the will of God, we are “spiritually” dead without the “engrafted word,” to energize us.
[Hebrews 10:5, 7; James 1:21]
Jesus said, “The flesh (mortality) profiteth nothing: the words (of eternal life) that I speak unto you, (those words) are Spirit, and they are life.” [John 6:63; 68]
