Was talking with a brother in Christ of mine and we were joking a bit about how the things of life can affect and trigger our attitudes such as people pulling in front of you as you drive to home, work or wherever. The temperature of your blood rises to the point of driving you wildly mad, pounding the steering wheel and pumping your fist at them. Can you picture yourselves in this person's driver's seat?
Perhaps, even though you may have buried your old lives in the Lord and be covered with the blood of the Lamb, we ought to have a daily blood transfusion and put in the blood of Christ where it doesn't boil to the point of driving you wildly mad! :) Put in Galatians 5:22-23, the 9 fruit of the Spirit, especially when one of them is "self-control".
And, yes, you may say that you aren't a perfect Christian but that still doesn't give you the liberty of doing things that aren't in the will of God. We strive to be an example of Jesus Christ, 24/7. And, remember this, it's not you that's driving the car, it is Jesus Christ at the steering wheel. ;)
