8:2–3, 9–11 The Message) The real you is on the side of God against the false self. When God lives and breathes in you (and he does, as surely as he did in Jesus), you are delivered from that dead life. if the alive-and-present God who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life, he’ll do the same thing in you that he did in Jesus. But for you who welcome him, in whom he dwells. Anyone, of course, who has not welcomed this invisible but clearly present God, the Spirit of Christ, won’t know what we’re talking about. The Spirit of life in Christ, like a strong wind, has magnificently cleared the air, freeing you from a fated lifetime of brutal tyranny at the hands of sin and death. The battle is not between us and God no, there is a traitor within who wars against our true heart fighting alongside the Spirit of God in us: A new power is in operation. Yes, there is a war within us, but it is a civil war. In the core of your being you are a good man. The New Testament calls you a saint, a holy one, a son of God. It is eminently commonsense not to own an asset that is costing you a lot more than you are earning from it, even in the best of times,” Williamson said.“The Big Lie in the church today is that you are nothing more than “a sinner saved by grace.” You are a lot more than that.

“I’m disappointed there isn’t commonsense in regard to the airport shares. Two councillors who do support selling the shares and will be voting for the budget are Greg Sayers, who calls it a “bandaid fix budget” to get the council out of the current hole, and Maurice Williamson, who is disappointed some of the proposed budget cuts have been reinstated but said, “that’s the horse-trading that has to be done. “The mayor continues to dig himself a hole of his own making,” he said. Lee said it was petulant of the mayor to chastise councillors who support him and doing their best to find a way out of the budget deficit while taking on widespread opposition to the sale. “Having explored all the other options, there is only one way to keep rates within inflation and that involves selling the airport shares or cuts will come back and rates will rise,” he said.
