Shownotes

Pastor Al explains why believers have sinful thoughts. He defines “the flesh” (sarx) not as the physical body but as an old way of thinking—residual “software” trained by the former nature. Drawing from Romans 8, Galatians 5, Colossians 2, and other passages, he describes the flesh as a way of thinking, self-effort, and rule-based religion. He explains that the answer is to renew the mind with God's Word, walk by the Spirit, and rely on grace and God's power for growth.
