I woke up today and wrote a blog about giving thanks. I was planning on sharing this with you. However, as I checked my email after finishing this morning, I found this this email from my missionary friends, Brian and Christy Lewis serving on the other side of the world. This said so much more than I ever could so I have ask permission to share this letter with you, praying that it blesses and encourages you on this wonderful Thanksgiving morning. Just as it has also blessed and encouraged me...

I've been reading your articles and have been really blessed by them. I was wondering if I could get your commentary on Galatians 5:19-21 when it says that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God. I've read several different commentaries on it about what it means to inherit the Kingdom of God. The one I agree with is that salvation is a free gift that cannot be earned, but our inheritance is something that can be lost referring to our rewards in heaven. But Ephesians says that the inheritance is something God places in every believer. Another commentary I heard was that the inheritance can refer to things we enjoy here on earth, and that those who practice envy or jealousies here on earth won't enjoy the fruit of joy or peace in those areas, but they're still saved. Do you have any revelation on this subject?

Thanks,
Dustin
