Taking the time...

One of our Sunday School teachers does such a great job and taking the time to think about and ponder our lessons, they are SO GOOD and you get so much out of them. Here are some thoughts from last week.
We talked about Saints today and the trials we are faced with since Stan is working overtime these days.
"Satan doesn't disguise his fiery darts in ugly wrapping paper." ISN'T That the truth.
Someone pointed out the show "Friends" now I know we all watched and LOVE friends but here's just a thought to think about: It is Written well, it is FUNNY all the stars are very attractive people, its story lines go against everything we believe in. But we rationalize beyond belief because maybe there is one underlying point that is good. Think about the above quote about Satan when you think about watching some of these shows ( I AM SO GUILTY )--- just a thought. Maybe we can all be a little better in the future.
Things we are battling today: Work/Life (the fact that it takes so much time that we are away from quality family time. Clothing Styles, Music (this is a BIG ONE), TV/Entertainment/Computer (we all know the evil there), Blessings (to describe this one he talked about the fact that not ALWAYS but a lot of the times when we are BLESSED with all we need; we don't rely on the Lord as much so maybe we are not on our knees as much as we should be. Good point. The Author of all this evil is Satan. When we talk about the Battle in heaven.... that means that actively there is 1/3 of the host of heaven HELPING SATAN. He has so many on his side actively persuing our downfall. But that also means we have 2/3 of the host of heaven HELPING US and pulling for us to be protected and make the right choices..... The Holy Ghost is spirit to spirit and is far stronger then Satan if we allow it.
I thought that was an interesting thought because when I think of the War in Heaven I think of before/ then but not NOW/CURRENTLY. But it absolutly is a battle now, today.... they are fighting against each other to see who will come out in the end.
Have a great day and Do something great today :)
