FROM TODAY’S READING (4/26/2019)...
“Wherever God erects a house of prayer,
The devil always builds a chapel there;
And ‘twill be found, upon examination,
The latter has the largest congregation.”
Daniel Defoe
1 Peter 5:8-9 (NLT) Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are.
James 4:7-8 (NLT) So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.
