Hey, everybody. It's Matt. This is the 10-minute Bible Hour podcast. And what I thought would be super fun today would be for me to just read a list of really bad things to you and then talk about why all these obviously bad things are bad. I didn't just decide to do this. We're working our way through the book of Galatians, and we're to the part

of the book of Galatians where Paul gives us a list of things that are bad. It specifically says

in Galatians 519, in the English standard version, it says, now the works of the flesh are evident.

Then there's a colon and there's a bunch of bad things. Or in the old new international version and says the acts

of the sinful nature are obvious and also a long list of bad things. Now I warned you yesterday as

was signing off that this list includes the O word. And if you were thinking to yourself, I don't think there's actually a swear that is the

O word. You're right. It's not a swear, but it is, look, a little bit of content warning here.

If there are conversations you don't want to have with your kids yet, there are some terms that

are going to come up in this episode that you just might not, I mean, you might not want to

do that because

well, you'll see in just a second. So I'm stalling. I'm giving you time to distract your kid or

put on headphones. And here we go, reading the text, Galatians 519. The acts of the sinful nature

are obvious. Sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery, idolatry,

and witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions,

factions, and envy, drunkenness, orgies, oh word, and the like, like I said, it's not a

swear, right? It just, that's just one of

those words that describes a thing that you don't want to get said at Thanksgiving dinner or

around your parents ever. It's just an awkward word that describes a thing. I warn you, as I did

before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Ooh.

Well, that was intense, but also, I guess pretty necessary, right?

Because what are we doing here?
