2 Corinthians 11:3 “But I fear that somehow your pure and undivided
devotion to Christ will be corrupt, just as Eve was deceived by the
cunning ways of the serpent. 4 You happily put up with what ever
anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the one
we preach, or a different kind of Spirit than the one you received,
or a different kind of gospel than the one you believe.”
2 Corinthians states ….JUST AS EVE WAS DECEIVED BY THE CUNNING
WAYS OF THE SERPENT….

Mind and Heart
“Where your heart is so goes your mind!” SaraI have this thought in my mind often. I think my Mother was a hammer on such things. So I thought I would test and see if it be true.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
Oliver Wendell Holmes once attended a meeting in which he was the shortest man present. “Dr. Holmes,” quipped a friend, “I should think you’d feel rather small among us big fellows.” “I do,” retorted Homes, “I feel like a DIME among a lot of pennies.”

The Three Monkeys
Three monkeys sat in a coconut tree,
Discussing things as they’re said to be.
Said one to the others, Now listen, you two,
There’s a certain rumor that can’t be true;
That humans descended from our noble race,
The very idea is a shocking disgrace

I John 3:17
“But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart (bowels of compassion KJV) from him, how does the love of God abide in him?” 1 John 3:17 (New King James Version)
Heaven vs. Hell
I am teaching a Wednesday night class at church, Completely Free by Dan Strickland. Page 15 “Spiritual Awareness: Sin’s Corruption.” In this session we want to discover that when we suppress the truth, we separate ourselves from God; and as a result, we pay a terrible price.
The issue is especially important today because the average person does not associate the rampant evil in the world with humanity’s rebellion against God. The Bible teaches us that the result of rebelling against God’s truth is that we become more given to evil. The more given to evil we become, the more trapped we become in self-destruction behaviors and the greater penalty we pay in our daily lives as a result of this sin. Until we realize the root problem with mankind is defiance of God’s authority over us, we will continue on the path to ultimate destruction.
Mirror, Mirror
“Mirror, mirror of my mind who is the prettiest woman in this land.” (Have we heard this tale before?)
Oh my dear said the Mirror, “You are ugly as ugly can be.”
“Oh,” cried the woman, “I must be perfect. I must look young. I must do something about this terrible mess called me.”
“I’ll straighten my hair, fix my eyes, throw out my old clothes, and fix my jaw line, buy a new house.” Why does everyone look better than me she thought?
Rooster Choice
Nestled among the hills of Virginia was a seemingly quiet farm or at least it use to be before an arrogant rooster appeared one day. From the unusually quiet farmyard came a squawking that had not been heard before. All eyes searched the yard to see who was making all that commotion. A rooster standing proud, making himself seem ridiculous but yet noticed nevertheless. Did he not know the only job he had to do was to go cock-a-doodle do in the morning to wake up the barn creatures and welcome them to a new day – a new day given to them by God
