    Temptation of Jesus - You can do it, easier and quick and test God. The devil knows how to tempt you, not just a generic temptation. He knows the best time, the best place, the most tempting thing to offer.

Most of you may remember the Flip Wilson Show and his character Geraldine, Always saying “the devil made me do it!” We tend to think like that don’t we?

    Just A Little Give And Take

    Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Feb 29, 2004

    The art of the compromise – of give and take – is valued by many people. You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours. Watch the consummate politician on campaign trail – they live by give and take. Whey even a good football game starts out as a battle of give and take. One team will fight and ...read more
