Contemplations

DOUBLE TROUBLE Beware of a double-minded man, Whose two faces are part of his game. He has a double heart; He two-times God without shame. He says one thing but does another; With a forked tongue he lies. He talks from both sides of his mouth; He pretends he is very wise. He often leads a double life; In two different worlds he abides. Since good and bad can't co-exist, On the wings of trouble he rides. God's Word is a double-edged sword; To a sinner it cuts like a knife. It separates bad from good in a heart, Then offers the sinner new life. God can make him whole again-- He can make one man out of two. When both are reconciled to Him, The man can begin anew. Be one in your mind and your heart. Don't just talk the talk. In order to travel the road to heaven, You must walk the walk. Becky L. Wall

BEWARE OF YOUR PET A pet is usually a humble friend, A comfort in times of troubles. He may help relieve you of stress, With his antics and friendly cuddles. But beware of pets who may turn on you, That will harm you again and again. Be wise and forget the fun you had, Especially if your pet is a sin. Pet sins will drive you away from God; They will always hurt your spouse. Your health and well being will suffer; You yourself will feel like a louse. Still, you will love it and not know why; You won't want to let it go. You may think of it as your partner; Life with it may be all that you know. Then when you try to get rid of it, Its teeth and claws will dig in. Fear of your pet will consume you; You will think that you just can't win. Who can save you from its evil grasp? Who can set you free? Just reach your hand out to Jesus; Keep your hand in His--that's the key. But your pet will lie in wait for you,
