A Thought for Today

If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness we lie, and do not the truth.-JOhn 1:6.
 The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose. An evil soul, producing holy witness, is like villain with a smiling cheek; goodly apple rotten at the heart.-Shakespeare

By using incompetent methods of
