When our desires are translated into action…those desires that are of the flesh, the nature with which we were born…what does God’s word say about that?

(NASB) Galatians 5:19-25 “Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality,
20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions,
21 envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.”

We are warned: Stop! Don’t Go There!
