Paul said in the scriptures, "I do the things I don't want to do and the things I do want to do I don't do! Can you relate? So how can we resist this war we are in against our sinful nature, "the flesh"? The Bible provides the answer: spiritual discipline. Not in our own strength but in the strength of the Holy Spirit. Prayer, fasting, reading God's word... the spiritual disciplines that Christians have been doing for centuries.
