Resist The Devil

"Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
James 4:7

The story is told of a young girl who accepted Christ as her Savior and applied for membership in a local church. "Were you a sinner before you received the Lord Jesus into your Life?" inquired an old deacon. "Yes, sir," she replied. "Well, are you still a sinner?" "To tell you the truth, I feel I'm a greater sinner than ever." "Then what real change have you experienced?" "I don't quite know how to explain it," she said, "except I used to be a sinner running after sin, but now that I am saved. I'm a sinner running from sin!" she was received into the fellowship of the church, and she proved by her consistent life that she was truly converted.

Prayer: Ask God to help you run from sin, not towards it.

"The devil's snare does not catch you, unless you are first caught by the devil's bait."
~Ambrose
"The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending, then having the two as close together as possible."
~George Burns
