[FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]Thursday, October 10 [/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]The minding of the flesh means death, but the minding of the[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]spirit means life and peace.[/FONT] —[FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]Rom. 8:6.[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]Cell phones are among the devices[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] that can distract a motorist[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] from the one thing he or she[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]is supposed to be doing—driving.[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] Over one third of the people interviewed[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] in one survey said that[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]they had been hit or nearly hit by[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] a vehicle with a driver using a cell[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] phone. Multitasking while driving[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] may seem to be expedient,[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] but the result can be disastrous.[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] The same could be true of our[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] spiritual well-being. Just as a distracted[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] driver often fails to notice[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]signs of danger, a person who is[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] distracted spiritually can easily[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] fall into harm’s way. If we allow[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]ourselves to drift away from our[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] Christian course and theocratic[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] activities, the result could be the[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]shipwreck of our faith. [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif](1 Tim. 1:18, 19) [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]The apostle Paul warned[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] of this danger when he cautioned[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]his fellow Christians in Rome by[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] writing the words of today’s text.[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] w11 11/15 2:1, 2[/FONT]
Spiritual maintanence, maintaining oneself before becoming sick, or falling low. Cleaning ones hands everyday, keep your hands clean and your health will stay pure. The internal and the spiritual are one.
