Overcoming Evil With Good (Romans 12:9-21)

This present world is full of feigned love, jokes about sex, and biting disrespect for all in authority. It’s 2008 and the world hasn’t changed, but have we? What does it look like for a believer in Christ to live as a living sacrifice? What concrete actions result when believers are renewed in their core values by the Holy Spirit? The Apostle Paul’s exhortations in Romans 12:9-21 make a great New Year’s resolution list, but it will take the power of the Spirit every second for us to start to react and live with these Christ-like characteristics.
