       Our old behaviors, and our old ways of thinking, those things “held us captive”, as Paul states. We were prisoners of of own passions, our own lusts. We were lead by what our feelings wanted, and had a real difficult time going against our feelings. We let circumstances control our moods, instead of being emotionally stable regardless of what are circumstances were. And don’t get me wrong. Even now, as Christians, if we are not careful, if we are not mature, we can still let circumstances control our mood, how we feel. But as unbelievers we were powerless. If the hot water tank started leaking, we would get all upset. We would prophecy for the small leak to become a disaster, and it would. We couldn’t say, “Oh, it’s just a small leak. I will call and get it fixed. It’s no big deal.” No, for an unbeliever, small, trivial matters are a big deal. Eternity is not in perspective. We weren’t thinking about the things which are above; we weren’t setting our minds of them.
