Colossians - Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, Read More Ephesians - And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Read More Because anyone whose thinking is controlled by their sinful self is against God. And really they are not able to obey it. Those who are ruled by their sinful selves cannot please God. But you are not ruled by your sinful selves.
