chains. What a lesson this teaches I us. We may tell ourselves that we I would never succumb to the temp-1 tations which have beset others, I not realizing that we are beginning I to chain ourselves by that which I cannot be broken except through I the power of God. We are told to "kill" inordinate I affections. This has reference to evil I passions. It would be hard to find I a day when immorality has been I more prevalent. Unfortunately I those things once realized as sinful I are now given a cloak of decency. I Think of how acceptable society I has made divorce, adultery, nud-1 ity, premarital sex, homosexuality, I abortion, use of narcotics and all I kinds of perversion. The list seems I to grow constantly. There was a poor, humble far-1 mer, without the benefit of much I education, who visited a city friend. | Wanting to impress his hayseed j guest, the farmer was taken to the I art museum and shown one of the modern paintings which was just a mass of colors. The farmer scratched his head trying to figure out what it was all about. His city friend replied, "Well you see, that pic ture represents not only what the artist saw, but also his personal state of mind." The farmer, with more wisdom than he realized, responded, "Well, if I had a mind like that, I'd never want to expose it." This illustrates the idea spoken of in Colossians 3 as inordinate! affections. It is the exposure of evil minds and that which should cause embarrassment does not seem to cause remorse or bother anyone at all. The next two words are "evil concupisence." Giving that a mod ern-day translation, it simply means
