It’s SPIRIT WEEK 2019 here on GUWG. For the next few days, we’ll be taking a closer look at each fruit of the Spirit.
Today’s featured fruit: JOY.
What exactly is joy? Joy isn’t an emotion. It isn’t happiness. It isn’t pleasure. It’s waaaaay deeper than that.
Joy comes from God. It’s available 24/7, no matter the circumstances.
It’s SPIRIT WEEK 2019 here on GUWG. For the next few days, we’ll be taking a closer look at each fruit of the Spirit.
Today’s featured fruit: LOVE.
Why love? There’s a reason love is first on the list. At its heart, the Bible is one gigantic love-fest. In fact, God IS love. The Bible says:
The flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other. (Galatians 5:17)
It’s SPIRIT WEEK 2019 here on GUWG where each day we’re taking a deeeeeep dive into what the Bible says about the Holy Spirit.
Building on what we’ve covered already this week, here’s today’s topic …

It’s SPIRIT WEEK 2019 here on GUWG. Each day, we’ll be looking at one of the most misunderstood (at least by me) topics in the Bible: the HOLY SPIRIT.
Here are today’s verses, straight from the mouth of Jesus:

Yesterday we unveiled our official 2019 Spiritual Workout Plan to help us all train for the Big Race.
Today we’ve included a handy graphic suitable for framing, posting on your fridge, tattooing on your biceps or anything else that will help you shun spiritual flabbiness.
The first step? It all starts with the ♥ lit up by the flame in the center. Before we even think about moving a muscle, we need to plug into our power source: the Holy Spirit.
The Bible tells us to “be filled with the Spirit” (Ephesians 5:18). It’s the only way to live:
Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. (Luke 2:19)
The presents have all been opened. The food has all been devoured. Aunt Melba has gone back to Toledo. The radio stations have stopped playing Christmas music. The after-Christmas sales have started. Soon all the lights will be dimmed, the decorations shoved back into boxes and the trees kicked to the curb.
Christmas is over, or so the world says.
We continue our journey through every word spoken by Jesus in the Gospels to help us all KNOW JESUS MORE NOW.
We’re attempting to answer the question What exactly are Christians supposed to do? by looking at 50 commands straight from the mouth of Jesus.
Jesus used lots of graphic images to drive his messages deeeeep into the hearts of his followers.
Here’s what he said at the Last Supper:
