The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.Often, our distrust contributes to the deceit of others.
Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo.

Personal Story Of The Day
Unsung Heroes
One of the paintings by Deitz, titled 'Unsung', depicts a crew of four mechanics who are working on a dive bomber. They are far below the flight deck of an aircraft carrier somewhere in the Pacific during World War II.
The pale, serious looking, grease-stained men are working tirelessly to get the plane ready to go back into battle. We too may be performing unnoticed tasks as we support the church's calling to spread the gospel and manage new and converted people, alike. Without volunteers, no church or group could do its ministry effectively.
As the apostle Paul closed his letter to the believers in Rome, he listed several people who receive no other mention in Scripture. For example, Paul referred to Phoebe and said that she was "a helper of many" (16:2). Phoebe and the others were essential to the life and work of the early church.
Are you working "below the flight deck"? Remember, your efforts in the church are essential. Even if no one shows appreciation for your hard work, you can be sure that one day the Lord will reward you (Colossians 3:23-24).
Jokes Of The Day
This 85 year old couple, having been married almost 60 years, had died in a car crash. They had been in good health the last ten years mainly due to her interest in health food, and exercise. When they reached the pearly gates, St. Peter took them to their mansion which was decked out with a beautiful kitchen and master bath suite and Jacuzzi.As they 'oohed and aahed' the old man asked Peter how much all this was going to cost. 'It's free,' Peter replied, 'this is Heaven.'Next they went out back to survey the championship golf course that the home backed up to. They would have golfing privileges everyday and each week the course changed to a new one representing the great golf courses on earth. The old man asked, 'what are the green fees?'. Peter's reply, 'This is heaven, you play for free.' Next they went to the club house and saw the lavish buffet lunch with the cuisine's of the world laid out.
'How much to eat?' asked the old man.'Don't you understand yet? This is heaven, it is free!' Peter replied with some exasperation.'Well, where are the low fat and low cholesterol tables?' the old man asked timidly. Peter lectured, 'That's the best part...you can eat as much as you like of whatever you like and you never get fat and you never get sick. This is Heaven.'
With that the old man went into a fit of anger, throwing down his hat and stomping on it, and shrieking wildly. Peter and his wife both tried to calm him down, asking him what was wrong. The old man looked at his wife and said, 'This is all your fault. If it weren't for your bran muffins, I could have been here ten years ago!'
************************************
A Highway Patrolman waited outside a poplar local bar, hoping for a bust. At closing time, as everyone came out, he spotted his potential quarry.
The man was so obviously inebriated that he could barely walk. He stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes, looking for his car.
After trying his keys on five other cars, he finally found his own vehicle. He sat in the car a good ten minutes, as the other patrons left.
He turned his lights on, then off, wipers on, then off. He started to pull forward into the grass, then stopped. Finally, when he was the last car, he pulled out onto the road and started to drive away.
The patrolman, waiting for this, turned on his lights and pulled the man over. He administered the breathalyzer test, and to his great surprise, the man blew a 0.00. The patrolman was dumbfounded.
"This equipment must be broken!" exclaimed the patrolman.
"I doubt it," said the man, "tonight, I'm the Designated Decoy."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Growing To Maturity
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. Galatians 5:13. References from Galatians 5:13-15.
Many people, even Christians, are confused about what it means to be free. For instance, some believers think they can be more lax on the job if they have a Christian boss, because their employer should not judge them. This notion of freedom can be an excuse to justify sloppy habits.
Is this what Galatians means by our 'freedom in Christ?' By freedom, Paul means release from this evil age (see 1:4), from the power of obsolete authorities, and from the specific practices and principles associated with them, especially as represented in the Jewish Law (see DEU 4:45, 8-10).
Freedom does not validate a lawless life aimed at satisfying sinful desires (5:13). Rather, it entails a new form of service... love for one another. Far from being opposed to the Law, this new service, which is the expression of faith (see 5:6), sums up and fulfils the essential thrust of the Law (5:14). Wise living in light of the gospel brings the freedom to demonstrate faith by serving (assisting) others in love.
We might be better able to grasp Paul's point if we imaginatively expand on his illustration of the child growing into an adult (see 4:16). Prior to the age of maturity, the child must submit to the authorities the father has placed over him. These guardians have a job: to train the child to live well. The rules and regulations of the guardians are intended to instil the right values in the child.
Their goal is to prepare the child for the day when he will become an adult. At that point, the child is free, no longer subject to their commands and rules. Yet, if they have done their job, he will know how to make wise decisions based on their training. The rules of the guardians will have been superseded by the mature values the young person possesses.
What Are You Thinking?
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 2 Corinthians 10:5
Most of the time, our outward appearance doesn't give away the thoughts in our mind. Perhaps we look like we own the world, but the thoughts in our mind can be to the contrary! We may have thoughts of depression or even suicide. We may feel so unloved, we just want to lock ourselves in a room and forget we are living. Life can be so hard, at times, and the natural mind uses our thoughts to make it seem as though we will never get out from under our troubles.
Well, the carnal mind is a liar. We can be obsessed with our thoughts! Our doubts are good at putting things in our minds that aren't true. But GOD is able to replace that 'false testimony' with a testimony of victory! Those thoughts can come under subjection to the Holy Spirit and be removed from our minds. Nothing is impossible with GOD!
We do walk in the flesh, but we don't have to walk 'after the flesh'. We need to get our minds in line with the Word and actions of God and know that HE is able to give us the blessing to help us through every situation in our lives.
Concentrate on the Words of God... the TRUTH in the Word! God can easily reverse thoughts of depression and suicide. He can overpower all those worldly thoughts that keep us under bondage. He is able to do 'exceeding abundantly above' [Ephesians 3:20] anything we ask or believe! Carnality will get you down, but God can bring you back up! Life may feel heavy, but GOD, the God of enough, can make life a joy!
The natural mind will attack your faith with lies, but God can build your faith through your obedience to Him. Let God get you back on track through His Holy Word and power today, so that you might walk in victory and get your heart back on Him.
