"Watch"

Thursday. John 1 1: 47-57.

The world spirit hasn’t changed since Jesus was here. It conspired against him with devilish cunning and persistence, and it conspires against his followers today. The mode of attack may change, but not the impelling motive behind it. You can suffocate the life out of a man in a hogshead of molasses. We need to be on our guard against that evil world spirit, with gracious tactfulness in all personal contacts, but keenly alert against the attack.
