This week we're back to advice on right living, and the advice sounds rather relevant to our own era--don't waste your time, don't get drunk. Rather, the letter tells us, be filled with the spirit.
Sing praises and give thanks. Give thanks at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Of course, not every bad thing that happens to us is our fault, but we really do bring some of it on ourselves. Of course, not every good thing that happens to us is due to our own efforts, but how we live really does affect what happens next.
If we are filled with the Spirit, we're not leaving room for non-Spirit things.
