If Only Adam Wasn't So Cheap

I came across the following funny on the web. Just think how well off we'd be, men, if only Adam wasn't so cheap!

From the lost chapter of Genesis: Adam was walking around the garden of Eden feeling very lonely, so God asked him, "What is wrong with you?" Adam said he didn't have anyone to talk to. God said that He was going to make Adam a companion and that it would be a woman. He said, "This person will gather food for you, cook for you, and when you discover clothing, she'll wash it for you. She will always agree with every decision you make. She will bear your children and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them. She will not nag you and will always be the first to admit she was wrong when you've had a disagreement. She will never have a headache and will freely give you love and passion whenever you need it." Adam asked God, "What will a woman like this cost?" God replied, "An arm and a leg." Then Adam asked, "What can I get for a rib?" (from Clean Christian Jokes)

Standing Against The Devil - Part 3

(To read Part 1, click here. To read Part 2, click here.) I closed Part 2 of this blog post series by saying the devil's not just a fantasy. He is very real. At this very moment he's plotting how he might destroy you. Yes. That's right. I said, "Y-O-U. You!" And there are some people who will read that and their response will be: "You can't be serious. The devil's out to destroy me? I just don't believe it." And I would say to these: You better believe it. ******* And there are two very important things that we learn from the experience of the young man in Part 1 & 2 of this blog post series, my friends (among other things). The first is this: The name of Jesus is powerful. Did you notice who the boy didn’t call out to when the demon was trying to lay hold of him? And maybe he should have shouted, “Buddha!” or, “Confucious!” or, “Mohammed!” or, “Joseph Smith!,” or some other religious leader's name who’s dead and buried and no one’s ever heard from them again. But that wouldn’t have delivered him from Satan. And isn’t it interesting how, when people are in the most direst of situations – listen – even so-called atheists will naturally shout, “Jesus!” because there’s something in the very depth of the heart of every man and woman that knows Christ is the only One that can do anything. After all, He’s the only One who’s alive! And the second very important thing that we learn from the experience of the young man harassed by a demon, beloved: We have it in our power to give or not give the devil access to our lives. Bottom line - there are some things that we ought not be doing or exposing ourselves to or it’s like there’s a knock at our door and we open it and invite Satan in, literally, to wreak havoc. While there are other things that we ought to be doing and exposing ourselves to that will shut the devil out and keep us living in freedom. And there are those who call themselves or say they are Christians while all the while it isn’t Jesus who they’re living for. My question is: Who do you think you're kidding if it's you? You can not serve two masters. You will either hate the one and love the other. Or you will hold dear to the one and despise the other. Who are you loving today? Who are you hating? Is it the devil? Is it the Lord? It's either one or the other. Your actions speak louder than words. Watch for Part 4 to this series coming very soon.
