It’s NO GRUMBLING WEEK 2015 here on GUWG.
Ever feel like you’re running on empty?
I find that I’m most prone to grumble when I try to navigate life under my own power. Here’s what we get when we let our sinful nature take the wheel:
hatred
discord
jealousy
fits of rage
selfish ambition
dissensions
factions
envy
and much much more
(Galatians 5:20-21)
We conclude our deeeeep dive into the Holy Spirit here on GUWG with a look at SPIRITUAL GIFTS.

Today’s featured fruit: GOODNESS.
Jesus said it best: “No one is good — except God alone.” (Mark 10:18)
The entire Bible can be seen as a story about the triumph of good (God) over evil (Satan). The question, then, is this: What side are you on?
The fruit you’re producing is strong evidence of where your heart’s really at. Jesus said:
