Resist the devil and he will lose in the midterms

 

Friendship with the world is enmity with God

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unfaithful creatures! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 

-- James 4:4

And remember, my sentimental friend that a heart is not judged by how much you love but by how much you are loved by others.

-- Wizard of Oz to the Tin Man, 1939

     But deliver us from the evil one (ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ) -- Matthew 6:13, Luke 11:4

     But I ask that you keep them from the evil one (ἀλλ᾽ ... ἵνα τηρήσῃς αὐτοὺς ἐκ τοῦ πονηροῦ) -- John 17:15

    The Lord is faithful and will guard you from the evil one (... φυλάξει ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ) -- 2 Thessalonians 3:3

Resist the devil (ἀντίστητε τῷ διαβόλῳ) -- James 4:7
