It is no one other than Satan who distracts us from our rescue mission - so he can keep his prisoners. It's our mission that forces us to come together, to fight our common enemy, to fight for our common Savior. We're same blood, remember?

While the disciples were acting like dumb sheep by arguing and inviting sin, Jesus continues His retort and switches the focus from warning about sin to dealing with it. After calling us to deal with personal sin in a decisive and firm way, He turns our... http://70030.netministry.com/apps/articles/default.asp?articleid=34846&columnid=3803 2007-11-05T20:21:01-05:00 The Call for Caring.
