UK 22:31{AT 6:24{Shall the devil have the use of our members? Oh, no, of course not! We start back at this, as a highly unnecessary question. Yet if Jesus has not, Satan has. For as all are serving either the Prince of Life or the prince of this world, and as no man can serve two masters, it follows that if we are not serving the one, we are serving the other. And Satan is only too glad to disguise this service under the less startling form of the world, or the still less startling one of self. All that is not "kept for Jesus," is left for self or the world, and therefore for Satan.
Jesus, Thy life is mine! Dwell evermore in me;
And let me see
That nothing can untwine my life from Thine.
Thy life in me be shown! Lord, I would henceforth seek
To think and speak
Thy thoughts, Thy words alone, no more my own.
