MICHAEL HODGEN TELLS a rather humorous story about a man dressed in a devil outfit who was on his way to a costume party when suddenly he got caught in a rain storm. Searching for cover from the downpour, the man rushed headlong into the first building he came to. As it happened, he had unwittingly turned into the auditorium of a church building during the worship assembly.
When the church members saw who they thought was the devil they all panicked. And all scrambled out of the room, except for one unfortunate lady who found herself pinned under the feet of this confused fellow. Fearing for her welfare, she looked up into this devilish face and pleaded, “You know…I’ve been on your side all along!”
While I enjoy a good laugh, may I suggest that there is a more serious side to this story. You see, it is possible for me to claim allegiance to the Lord, when in reality I am a covert disciple of the devil. (Mike Benson)
Dear reader, whose side are you on (Exod. 32:26; Josh. 24:15; 1 Sam. 12:10; Matt. 12:3)?
