Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?"Against naked force the only possible defence is naked force. The aggressor makes the rules for such a war; the defenders have no alternative but matching destruction with more destruction, slaughter with greater slaughter." Franklin Roosevelt (1882-1945)
There are some remedies worse than the disease.

Personal Story Of The Day
Wrinkles In Time.
Many people try to reverse the ageing process. Those with wrinkles get facelifts, while others have injections to remove unwanted facial lines. Behind this current trend is the notion that an ageing face is unacceptable. But not everyone feels that way. An elderly woman being interviewed on television was asked, "Do you like your face?" She responded with conviction, "I love my face! It's the face God gave me, and I accept it happily."
In Psalm 139, David expressed the conviction that his entire being was fashioned by God and therefore is worthy of acceptance. He prayed, " I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: " (v14). He also believed that God fashioned all the days of his life (v16). Instead of fighting a losing battle against our waning youthful appearance, we should concentrate on cultivating inner qualities that last forever.
One key attribute is a lifelong faith in God, who reassures His people: "And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar (grey/white) hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you." (Isaiah 46:4).
Time may wrinkle the skin, but worry, doubt, hate, and the loss of ideals wrinkle the soul. As we gracefully accept the passing of years, God will smooth out the wrinkles of our souls.
Jokes Of The Day
A newlywed farmer and his wife were visited by her mother, who immediately demanded an inspection of the place. While they were walking through the barn, the farmer's mule suddenly reared up and kicked the mother-in-law in the head, killing her instantly.At the funeral service a few days later, the farmer stood near the casket and greeted folks as they walked by. The pastor noticed that whenever a woman would whisper something to the farmer, he would nod his head yes and say something. Whenever a man walked by and whispered to the farmer, he would shake his head no and mumble a reply.
Curious, the pastor later asked the farmer what that was all about.
The farmer replied, "The women would say, 'What a terrible tragedy' and I would nod my head and say, 'Yes, it was.' The men would ask, 'You wanna sell that mule?' and I would shake my head and say, 'Can't. It's all booked up for a year.'"

Mom and Dad were watching TV when Mom said, "I'm tired, and it's getting late. I think I'll go to bed."
She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's lunches, rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the freezer for supper the following evening, checked the cereal box levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons and bowls on the table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning.
She then put some wet clothes into the dryer, put a load of clothes into the wash, ironed a shirt and secured a loose button. She picked up the newspapers strewn on the floor, picked up the game pieces left on the table and put the telephone book back into the drawer. She watered the plants, emptied a wastebasket and hung up a towel to dry.
She yawned and stretched and headed for the bedroom. She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher, counted out some cash for the field trip, and pulled a textbook out from hiding under the chair. She signed a birthday card for a friend, addressed and stamped the envelope and wrote a quick note for the grocery store. She put both near her purse.
Mom then washed her face, put on moisturizer, brushed and flossed her teeth and trimmed her nails. Hubby called, "I thought you were going to bed."
"I'm on my way," she said.
She put some water into the dog's dish and put the cat outside, then made sure the doors were locked. She looked in on each of the kids and turned out a bedside lamp, hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks in the hamper, and had a brief conversation with the one up still doing homework.
In the bedroom, she set the alarm, laid out clothing for the next day, straightened up the shoe rack. She added three things to her list of things to do for tomorrow.
About that time, hubby turned off the TV and announced to no one in particular "I'm going to bed," and he did.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
It Is The Power Of The Spirit
...Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, Galatians 1:3-4. References from Galatians 1:1-5.
A few years ago, a popular series of posters initially looked like a jumble of patterns and colours. As one looked intently at them, the apparent chaos would suddenly resolve itself into a well-defined three-dimensional image. While it may not be immediately obvious, a long look at Galatians shows that this epistle fits nicely into the theme of wisdom that we have been studying a little while back. Galatians represents the apostle Paul's teaching on living wisely in light of the gospel message.
Paul wrote this letter to a group of new churches in the region of Galatia (located in present day Turkey) in order to address some serious issues facing the early church. The primary problem concerned the status of Gentile Christians.
Thousands of years after Christ, we can easily forget that the earliest followers of Jesus were, like Jesus himself, fully Jewish. They naturally continued to follow the practices of the Jewish Law while professing faith in Jesus. We see in the book of Acts that as the early church carried out Jesus' Great Commission, the question of the relationship of newly converted Gentile believers to the practices of the Law became an issue of serious disagreement (Acts 10:9-16, 27-29; 15:1-35).
Those first Christian leaders had to work out the implications of the gospel. Some of them concluded that Gentiles needed to observe the ritual of circumcision as prescribed by the Old Testament Law in order to participate fully in the salvation offered by the gospel. Paul came to a different conclusion. He presents an extended argument for the full acceptance of Gentile believers apart from such practices as circumcision.
The starting point for his argument is the simple affirmation of the gospel message... Jesus died for our sins (that is, for the sins of both Jews and Gentiles) in order to rescue us from this present evil age. The Holy Spirit is available to all men, woman and mature children... anyone who has the faith and commitment to pray. It is the Spirit which powers salvation, not ritual and not spiritual opinions.
Watch Out For The Predator
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10.
Everywhere you look, there are predators... those that prey on people to rob, or destroy for their own gain. The world is full of those that cannot stand others to get ahead in life, whether it be material or monetary gains, or to have someone that loves you. There have been many children in the news lately that have been victimised by either kidnapping or murder. A little five-year-old girl was recently found, assaulted and murdered, and left out in a paddock, like a piece of rubbish.
The kind of person that does this has no regard for human life, especially that of a little child. There is another kind of predator that preys on people unexpectedly. This predator is after your natural mind. There is nothing he will not do in order to stop you from serving the Lord. He will masquerade as an angel of light, [ 2Cor 11:14 ] getting you where he wants you, and then he has you.
He will feed you with thoughts, salted with just enough 'truth' to make it sound good. When he has you entangled in the ways of the world, he is controlling you.
To guard against the enemy getting a foothold in your life, you need to constantly be on guard. To be on guard, keep your mind covered with the the truth of the Word... the full armour of God. The Holy Spirit will keep these words of truth ready for use, when the enemy comes calling. And, I assure you, he will come!
