Our Western worldview gets involved here once again. We have a strong tendency to want to analyze everything and place the parts in neat, mutually exclusive categories. So we ask questions like, How do I know whether it is the world, the flesh, or the devil? My response is that most situations will involve some of each element to some extent… (They) are treated as working together so closely that you cannot talk about one without talking about the other. The flesh is the earthly qualities about which enable us to respond to the temptation. The world is the milieu in which we live and which is under the control of 'the ruler of the kingdom of the air.' Satan and his demons know what fleshly parts of us are especially vulnerable, and they use the stimuli of the world around us to arouse sinful thought in us. The Devil would be a fool not to try to take advantage of the world and the flesh in his aim to destroy us.

I had a meeting tonight that lasted longer than expected. 

Fortunately, it was productive.

Today's Chuckles

1. Sermon 

2. Exact Quote 

                     ------------------------------

Sermon 

The minister gave his Sunday morning service, as usual, but this 

particular Sunday, it was considerably longer than normal. 

Later, at the door, shaking hands with parishioners as they moved 

out, one man said, "Your sermon, Pastor, was simply wonderful - so 

invigorating and inspiring and refreshing."

The minister of course, broke out in a big smile, only to hear the 

man say, "Why I felt like a new man when I woke up!"

 

- from Pastor Tim (via You Make Me Laugh)

                     ------------------------------

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.

You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.

You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's 

initiative and independence.

You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they 

could and should do for themselves. - Abraham Lincoln 

                     ------------------------------

Exact Quote 

For my business-law class, we often give oral briefs of legal 

cases in our textbook. 

Our professor frequently interrupts with questions to be 

certain we understand what we are saying. 

One day, a classmate mistakenly used a complex term, and the 

professor was quick to lecture him on the use of legal jargon, 

ending with, "What makes you think I want to hear words straight 

out of the book?"

"Well," replied my classmate calmly. "You wrote it."
