The Grace & Duty of Spiritual Mindedness

Elder Gowens' 2/7/21 message is taken from Romans 8:5-9. Of course, man by nature is earthly-, not spiritually-minded. Spiritual-mindedness, therefore, is first a gift of God's grace. Once an individual has been born from above, however, the development of a spiritual mind is a duty, as Colossians 3:1ff indicates: "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things that are above...Set your affection on things above, not on things of this earth."
