Don’t take a bite of the fruit…

“…she took the fruit and ate it…”

Genesis 3:6

Sharp words are about to come out?

…don’t take a bite of the fruit.

Everything in you wants to have the final say and “win” the argument?

…don’t take a bite of the fruit.

…don’t take a bite of the fruit.

“The wisest of women builds her house, but folly with her own hands tears it down.” Proverbs 14:1

Take in front, and…Do not bite the fruit.

“For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.

2 Corinthians 10:3-6
