Pastors Pen, October
27, 2013......Surprise Endings"...Be sober, be vigilant; because your
adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may
devour: (I Peter 5:8).
The story is told of
a sweet little girl who went into the pet store. She asked the owner, "Do
you have any rabbits?" Kneeling down and looking her right in the eye, the
owner asked, "Do you want a little white rabbit or a little black
rabbit?"
The sweet little girl
responded, "I don't think my python will care what color it is."
I laughed when I
heard this...and I love stories with surprise endings.
The Bible tells us
that Satan the serpent (Genesis 3:1, 13 and Revelation 12:9) seeks to deceive
and to destroy you. He is the devourer of the children of God. When he is
coming to devour us, he doesn't care what color we are. He doesn't care if we
are young or old. He doesn't care if we are fragile or rugged. He just wants to
deceive and devour us.
The sweet little girl
didn't want the rabbit for a pet. She wanted it as food for her python.
Satan doesn't show us
his true colors. He presents himself as light and good (2 Corinthians 11:14).
But, he is anything but that!
Be careful. Satan
seeks to deceive and devour and destroy. In his case, his ending is no
surprise. I like that. What will be your ending? Eternity--it happens-U-decide
where!

THE CHURCH
JOKE.
Cause And Effect Last October my wife bought a magnolia tree
from the local nursery, but after only a few weeks the leaves shriveled. It
appeared to be on its last legs. My wife took some leaf samples and marched
into the nursery to demand an explanation. "I know exactly what's wrong
with your magnolia," said the manager. "Good," said my wife.
"What's it suffering from?" He replied, "Autumn."
More Cause And Effect
"This hotel stinks!" a guest complained when he showed up at the
front desk to check out. "What's wrong?" I asked. "I got no
sleep. Every 15 minutes this loud banging sound woke me up!" I apologized
for the noise and checked him out. A few minutes later, a couple showed up.
Again, I made the mistake of asking how their stay was. "Terrible!"
they said. "The guy in the next room was snoring so loudly that we had to
bang on the wall every 15 minutes to wake him up!"
FYI THANKS: Charlie
and John for getting the ac's upstairs. God bless!
CONGRATES TO BOB AND
