Galatians 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. This suggests the story of the old lady whose daughter's tooth ached. She sent for a doctor. He came and pulled out a pair of big old-fashioned forceps. "The old lady screamed out, "Don't put them things in my daughter's mouth: pull it with your fingers!" That would be nice if it could be done. But hear me. Do you know the terms on which God will carry you through this world and safely to heaven? Lay down those things that are hurting you, and take up those other things that will help you, and you will have His help in time and in eternity. (Samuel Jones.)
