Ghetto Defined

People often ask about the title of my Blog. My answer is man’s sinful nature has turned His garden into a ghetto and we’re on a crash collision course with our destiny.

My Own Prison Revealed

A prison is a place of forcible restraint or confinement. A place used to control behavior. Punishment for the unruly law breakers. It can consist of torture or some consider it as total torture. Others also consider their wrong doing justified no matter what and any wrong doing back to them is torture.
Any way the fact is were all held in our own prison to some degree. Well your probably saying what do you mean? I'm saying for example your a smoker and you can't quit smoking. Somehow something is holding you in bondage. Is it because your weak and don't have the strength to quit on your own? Or is it that something you can't see is holding your own strength back from quiting. The same example can be used in any circumstance, jealously, lust, sexual addictions, alcohol, ect. ect. You get the jest of things.
What I'm saying here is any time you let any wrong behavior control you your in some form of bondage held in your own prison. And the more you let these wrong doings control you the longer your sentence will be. None of us down here are free of any prison sentence during our trial of life. In fact it is our time we spend in our own prison that were supposed to learn from our wrongdoing. Then upon our release we can go back to contributing to society in a Godly manner.
The apostle Paul had so many prison experiences that he called himself a "prisoner of the Lord" When Paul and Silas were cast into the Roman prison at Philippi they were miraculously freed when they started to praise God. The reason is because they refused to submit to the enemy in return they were set free and the same example can be used today in the way we live our lives.
John 8:34 and on says this.
Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever.
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

So my friends bondage is a prison sentence.
