Some believers in Christ who have wondered into the wilderness of sin may experience a season of enjoyment in that wilderness. The delights of the flesh can suppress and subdue the once enjoyed spiritual satisfaction of walking in the Spirit. “For the flesh lusts against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh.” (Galatians 5:17)… Read More »Guilt Under the Law
