The same is true with our old, flesh-centric nature even when we are provided the \u201cnew clothes\u201d of our nature in Christ to put on.</p>\n<p>[00:13:30] Paul\u2019s first command is to put away \u201clying\u201d. Matt highlights that honesty and transparency are essential for accountability and the unity within the church that should identify us.</p>\n<p>[00:15:40] \u201cIf our \u2018selves\u2019 are hurt, others are hurting. If it\u2019s not taken care of, then we hurt the body of Christ.\u201d</p>\n<p>[00:16:30] Anger is not innately wrong, but anger is separate from its consequences.</p>\n<p>[00:19:32] \u201cUnresolved anger can fester into a root of bitterness.\u201d</p>\n<p>[00:23:25] Could the devil find anything in you to accuse you of today?</p>\n<p>[00:24:35] Matt emphasizes that \u201cputting off\u201d is akin less to storing something away, and more like throwing something out and burning it up!</p>\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n<p>Helpful Links From This Episode</p>\n<p>The Kingdom Corner Website: <a href='https://kingdomcorner.podbean.com/'>https://kingdomcorner.podbean.com/</a></p>\n<p>The Kingdom Corner on Facebook \u2013 <a href='https://www.facebook.com/thekingdomcorner'>https://www.facebook.com/thekingdomcorner</a> \u00a0</p>\n<p>Apple Podcasts: <a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-kingdom-corner-with-matt-geib/id1481796673'>https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-kingdom-corner-with-matt-geib/id1481796673</a></p>\n","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/cbbbd965-501a-40e2-8e25-dcca17baf0a8/thekingdomcornerart2newsize.jpg"}
