We need to avoid spiritual erosion!
We can not let our Spirits erode as do the things of this world
We need to seek the face of God while there is time!
We need to be diligent in our seeking, as the enemy is diligent in causing our destruction!
Right now is the time to seek the Lord!
Do it now and seek him, don't wait until it is too late.

Spiritual baggage can weigh you down even more so than physical baggage. We should release our spiritual baggage, and give it to God!
