When we encounter immorality, hatred, greed and discouragement we put our spiritual selves at risk. We have to be as vigilant in protecting our spirit as we do our stuff. When Jesus prepared His disciples for some impending challenges He warned them, “ Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness
