Desire

To date, this blog seems to have focused on community and the impacts of community on coming alive in God and the kinds of community that will favor helping men come alive in God.

But that's not all it is intended to be about.

A part of the way a man (or woman) knows what God wants them to do is in one's desires. Now, it takes maturity to rightly handle desires, as there are desires of the flesh, of the world, corrupted desires, and other kinds of wrong desires or wrong ways of handling desire.

As Paul wrote: "it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose".  Note, works in you "to will". In other words, with your desires.

What are some of your desires? Do you recognize their source?
