It is one thing to be led by our own wisdom but another to be led by the Spirit. In his second in a series about the Spirit, minister Aaron Hill builds on the first sermon, noting that if we are not sanctified by the Spirit, we cannot be guided by Him. The Spirit's guidance should touch every aspect of our lives, and yet, as Americans, we cling to a mindset of self-reliance and independence. We tend to think we are autonomous, yet we can't claim autonomy if we believe in an all-powerful God. As autonomous creatures, we are ruled by our desires, and consequently, we are not free; we are slaves to sin. We have a will, but before we have Christ, that will is enslaved to sin.
