Galatians 5:16-18 (MSG)
My
counsel is this: Live freely, animated and motivated by God’s Spirit.
Then you won’t feed the compulsions of selfishness. For there is a root
of sinful self-interest in us that is at odds with a free spirit, just
as the free spirit is incompatible with selfishness. These two ways of
life are antithetical, so that you cannot live at times one way and at
times another way according to how you feel on any given day. Why don’t
you choose to be led by the Spirit and so escape the erratic compulsions
of a law-dominated existence?What is MMIX? Coldplay fans have racked their brain over this one. It has been refereed to as a Roman numeral date...a computer code and so on. Truth is, Coldplay said it was completely random and means absolutely nothing.
We have heard of how C Martin is compulsive like in naming the hit songs...after....oh.....hey, theirs a yellow phone book over their. Lets call it yellow...
Gotta love it.
My theory is that producer Brian Eno wanted the band to have an intro to Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall. After Coldplay agreed on the tune they searched for its name. Somebody looked over at the sound board and say the MYLOXYLOTO track sitting there. The sound man had written Mylo MIX on a jacket and walla...MMIX. Makes good theory to me.
BTW listening to MMIX leading into Every Teardrop is divine.
Regardless, what do you think about compulsive behavior? I used the Message translation for Galatians 5 so you could see that compulsion is how we walk in the Spirit. Following Christ, who is unseen, comes by way of the Spirit guide within is. Through Him we are prompted to serve, share, and do good to yourself and others.
I know you're thinking that their is a pill the take for OBC behavior. Haha, you're right.
However, walking in the Spirit of God is to hear an unseen and unspoken voice of guidance and direction.
Pleasing God is in action...
Bam...responding...in obedience to Him. Not irresponsibly but righteously.
