Quote of the Day - Nov 10/05

Do not be deceived when the world feigns friendliness. It is trying to encourage you to let down your guard. You are different and you are a reminder of what they ought to be. They secretly hate you. But they will sometimes use honey to seduce you into their own darkness. They desire that you walk in their own ways so that they can feel justified in themselves. Self-validation is the world’s way. Justification through faith in Jesus Christ and living in the power of His righteousness is God’s way.
