Living Righteousness
Spreading the Gospel isn’t about us telling people. It’s about living a life of peace and righteousness in front of others so they seek what we have. In order to do that, we have to get our appetites under God’s dominion and learn to say “no”. We can’t do that in our own will, but through His Spirit living in us.
