Default Say ouch or say amen

Rom 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
Rom 7:16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
Rom 7:17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Rom 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
Rom 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
Rom 7:20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Rom 7:21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
Rom 7:22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
Rom 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
Rom 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Rom 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

We all have the potential for one or the other and sometimes both- the question is which seems predominate in your life? Selah.

Sin certainly appears to be man's nature.
We must always focus on God, ALWAYS!

When ask; the wise elder told the new brother that becoming a chrisian was like putting two fighting dogs into ones heart. One being evil and the other being good.
When ask which one would win, the elder simply said; "The one you feed"

In Him

Amen, brother.

And 'Two fighting dogs' is a perfect analogy...that is definitely how it feels...
