It Is Friday, After Midnight...

I was just about to start evening studies to get a little ahead of my Sunday deadline for two college assignments. Then a little voice in my head reminded me "it is Friday!" So in order to not cause my "brain" any grief, I have decided a nightcap and a movie more appropriate before bed tonight.
It is times like tonight I appreciate knowing about Liberty/Freedom (The Bible, James 1:25 & 2:12).
Without knowing about where the spirit of God is there is Liberty I may have thought I needed to study, work hard and obey every rule in the New Testament (at least) for God's welcome and approval. I could have stopped my innocent enjoyment of my birthday gift of the image of God and full of guilt suffered the rest of my life-fighting impulses to that called sin.
I know the letter ministers death, yet so very often reading the curse of the law in the Old Testament of the Bible on all that think the laws do not apply to them, remembering Jesus saying not one jot or title will be taken away, I could have crumbled in fear before God wallowing in guilt and shame for a sinful life.
The Spirit ministers life and the Spirit of the law is to follow the good Scripture advice to be blameless and harmless. Living blameless, committing no act that is outlawed can keep you out of legal troubles and being harmless leaves no one able to complain you have hurt them in any way, financially, violating their liberty, or taking any one's soul to the pits of hell for destruction. Jesus promised a comforter, a Spirit to guide to the truth. If you do not have this Spirit I advise asking for it and seek to receive it as soon as you can. You can go to mass and not receive Communion, and you can study The Bible and not receive spiritual gifts, as easily as not participating in the faith of a living God and seeking a life so with. Do not let a day go by if you have not already asked the living God for His gifts for you without asking today, now that you know...
