Remaining Corruption

Pastor Martin continues examining the indisposition of the flesh as a hindrance to meditation, explaining from Galatians 5:17 and Romans 7:21 the irreconcilable warfare between flesh and spirit. He identifies four specific ways the flesh wars against meditation: weariness of the body, the call of other duties, the suggestion of substitute spiritual activities, and promises of greater diligence at a more convenient time. For each he provides practical scriptural remedies: buffeting the body, prioritizing the one thing needful, refusing to substitute one duty for another, and seizing the present moment.
