so baptism represents the death of our old selves and the birth of a new self… i called work and told them i won’t be in because i am sick… blatant lie… and now i feel sick for it because the Spirit is in me and is changing me into a new creature and convicting me to stop doing all those “little” things that seemed harmless before… who does it hurt if i lie? it hurts God… i failed… again… if you consider me your friend and respect my belief, pray for me?
