Key Scripture:

Like a muddied spring or a polluted well are the righteous who give way to the wicked. Proverbs 25:26 NIV

Unless you address the underlying issue, your life is going to stink.

Before Jesus our life is like a nasty mixture of sardines, jalapeños, and onions.

When we come to Jesus, we have to detox the nasty to make place for the good. Good and bad do not mix.

19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Galatians 5:19-24 NIV

The fruit of the spirit isn't a list of goals, it's a spoiler alert.
