I. Tracing Back to Godliness

      A. Wars - Interpersonal

          - Where do they come from?

          - Your passions are at war within you

          - Are we holding the war from others?

          - A war among is from a war within.

          - A war is usually caused by a want.

          - Why do I have this want?

               i. Godlessness

               ii. Worldliness - based on the world

          - II Samuel 11 - not once is God in the picture

          - Sin will make promises it can't keep

          - There is pleasure in sin for a season - it will always let us down

          - Functional atheist - a "christian" who never considers God or asking
          - Bring God into my heart and mind - fight the war
          - God is a jealous God
          - God has a right to expect exclusiveness
