Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.(Rom 6:11-13 [KJV])
I was in church Wednesday and ungodly phrases that I had heard at work kept going through my head. I opened up my Bible and this is the passage that I read. I just yielded my thoughts to the Lord and he gave me pure thoughts again. Strong statements and firm teaching in this blog do not mean that I think myself to always stand and never fall. Rather, writing this blog was originally intended to occupy my mind with spiritual things that my flesh not fall to to the temptations of an idle mind. Also I need to put in writing what I believe and stand for, that it may be a witness against me should I "yield [my] members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity.
