Umm…NO!

What would you say if your child’s school sent home a permission slip for this kind of field trip?

Thought for the day…

Thought I’d throw my favorite scripture out there before I head off to church…

1Corinthians 10:12

Therefore, let he who thinks he stands take heed, lest he fall.

I look at this verse this way: You wake up one morning and have something like a tooth infection. You call the dentist and he sends in a prescription for some antibiotics. You pick them up, get the consultation from the pharmacist (he tells you that you must take the whole bottle,) and you go home. You start your regimen and follow it diligently. Halfway through the prescription, you notice that the sweling is gone, and so is the pain. You feel better, therefore you must not need the rest of the bottle. So you throw it in the medicine cabinet and forget about it.

Faith works the same way. I have a habit of giving up my struggles to the Lord and once I get through it, that’s it. I stop offering up the things I was struggling with. I think I have overcome them, but I haven’t. The perfect follow up would be…

MATTHEW 12:43-45

“Now when the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and does not find it.

Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order.

Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that man is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.”

The key is to give it up (whatever it is) to the Lord every day. The moment you think you are past the trial and can stand on your own two feet is the moment that the evil spirit returns with all his friends to throw an even bigger party than the first.

Just my thoughts…
