Title: What Holy Living Does Not Look Like Part 4 (4)
Author: Darrow Perkins
Text: Galatians 5:19-21
INTRODUCTION: I have found out that you never know what kind of people you will run into during your life. There are some people who are nice; some who are mean; some who are selfish; some who are controlling; some who are optimists; some who are pessimists; some who are narcissists; some who are filled with hate and violence; and others who you have no problem getting along with.

BACKGROUND/TEXT: Here in the 5th Chapter of Galatians, Paul is continuing his discourse on what's known as the works of the flesh. Dr. Finis Dakes calls this section, "Manifestations of a fleshly life: sins that will damn your soul."1 Can we see why it was so important for Paul to get this information to the church at Galatia and the world? He started off dealing with sexual sins; then he dealt with spiritual sins; now he helping us to understand physical sins. We're still dealing with my third point which is Unholy Social Living. We left off last time with variance and today will pick up with Emulations...
Emulations means "jealousy, wanting and desiring to have what someone else has. It may be material things, recognition, honor, or ...
