Without self-control, we are vulnerable to any spiritual attack or temptation that comes our way; we simply have no defenses at all to keep them away. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/No-Unmovable-Walls-4152 2008-08-18T14:03:02-05:00 Now, it may be that there's a wall in your life that looks like it's always going to be there. It's hard to imagine how it would ever come down. But God doesn't know anything about unmovable walls. He's been tearing them down for a long, long time! http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Mission/Fingers-and-Fists-5633 2008-08-15T16:35:52-05:00 Jesus knows that if His followers can work together instead of separately, it will be living proof to a broken world of the power and the authenticity of Jesus Christ. I guess we can assume the opposite is true as well. If we can't get our act together as the people of Jesus, the world has every reason to question the reality of what we believe.
