The verse of the day in my side bar today is:
“Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.” (James 1:21)
I find I have been increasingly tempted by things I have given up in the past. The logic goes like this: I have been tested in that area and have won. Therefore, having passed the test, I am now free. Therefore I can do that thing again.
This is of course fundamentally flawed. Those things will only destroy. James is the right verse for me to contemplate at this time.
