The Carnal Mind

First off I want to say sorry to anyone that reads my blog for not posting in awhile. That's probably not very many people, but anyways sorry. I got moved to Lebanon, TN and we haven't been able to get to a computer for a little bit. I don't have very long to write a post today, but I will write a better one tomorrow hopefully. So just a short  message for today. I was reading the Book of Mormon this morning and I came across this verse in 2 Nephi Chapter 9. It's verse 39 which reads "O, my beloved brethren, remember the awfulness in atransgressing against that Holy God, and also the awfulness of yielding to the enticings of that bcunning one. Remember, to be ccarnally-minded is ddeath, and to be espiritually-minded is flife geternal." I really like this scripture. What it means to me is that we should not yield to the temptations of the devil. He uses things of this world like money, cars, and other stuff to deceive us. Lusting after these things is being carnally minded and that leads to death. Now if we follow Jesus Christ and try to be as spiritually minded as we can, meaning always thinking good thoughts and doing good, then we will eventually receive eternal life. I know that's true and I know Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world.
