The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. --John 10:10

The devil is subtle, deceptive, and sly--
He's clever and tricks us to swallow his lie;
But his cunning methods we're sure to discern
If we make God's warnings our daily concern.

God's truth is the best protection against Satan's lies.

Two Realms

Read: John 10:1-18

The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. --John 10:10

Bible In One Year: Judges 16-18; Luke 7:1-30

How sad it is when a family watches a child walk away from the faith in which he or she grew up. And worst of all is to see sadness replace the joy that child once had.

One woman saw her daughter go from loving and trusting God to a life of sin and rebellion--but then back to the joy of a walk with Jesus. The daughter's sad, empty expressions during her time of running from God changed to an open, joyful happiness when she returned to fellowship with Him. The mother said the difference was like turning on a light that dispelled the darkness.

In John 10:10, we read of the contrast between the joy of life with Jesus and the anxiety of life in the realm of Satan. He comes deceptively as an "angel of light"

(2 Corinthians 11:14), but he wants to ruin us. He is described as a thief who steals, kills, and destroys. But Jesus is presented as the One who gives life--abundant life.

These two realms are constantly in a battle for our hearts. We have this choice: the light of life with Jesus or the depths of darkness in the devil's lair. Life or death? Light or darkness? Contentment or anxiety? Both realms beckon us.

Whom will you choose to trust with your life? The thief or the Savior? --Dave Branon

The devil is subtle, deceptive, and sly--
He's clever and tricks us to swallow his lie;
But his cunning methods we're sure to discern
If we make God's warnings our daily concern. --D. De Haan

Love the way you designed this pledge. Brilliant!

Heard a woman on Hannity's radio show the other day say that she was talking to her little boy about the case before the Supreme Court to decide whether to take God out of the pledge...her little boy said he hoped they didn't take God out that he would miss Him.

Love the way you designed this pledge.

Thanks, Aqua - and thanks to Gail (and to Cal some time ago) for originally posting the pic.

That is so sweet what the little boy said about missing God if they are forced to take Him out of the pledge.
