—Romans 7:1-13
by: Trisha Gerstel.
Kevin Bonesteel—a fellow member of the Seventh Day Baptist Church in Berlin, New York, and a licensed preacher—once gave a message about overcoming bad habits (sins) by concentrating not on what we shouldn’t do, but instead focusing our minds on what we should do. This idea aligns perfectly with Paul’s message in today’s reading: Thanks to the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ, we have the ability to cease our preoccupation with sin, and instead be guided by the Spirit in the works of the Lord. Amen!
