Letting Go of the Old Master and Serving the New Master!

Once you choose a master as we discussed yesterday, you must then walk away from the old master, let it go, repent. Peter said to the crowd, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Acts 2:38 To serve the new Master, you have to leave the other one..

God’s Spirit of Self-Control

Now that we have turned our face from Egypt, some of you have experienced rising above the pull of this world, the allure of Egypt, the magnetic pull of the refrigerator, or the prison of food. You were presented with the picture of the Thin Eater, or the person who feels no magnetic pull to food...
