Thought For The Day

Winner

The call came about 7am. Early I thought, but I was up and around so I answered. Just as I figured I had won! Again! It was “Publisher’s Clearing House” and they will be coming to my home in a few days to deliver a check for $500,ooo, a new Chevy Tahoe, and five thousand dollars a month for the rest of my life. You can imagine my excitement. I was so tempted to disconnect the call, but then, I wondered how complex the scam would be, so I played along – that, and I though it might be one of my friends, like this really big guy at Church, putting me on.

I began to answer questions in just the right manner, and it was kind of fun until the gentleman on  the phone asked me to go to the Dollar Store and purchase a certain kind of card. I would need to put up $999.99 (a small portion of my winnings) to demonstrate to the Feds that I was not laundering money when the CASH (they were bringing $500,000 in cash in the Tahoe to my house) hit the bank. I grew tired of the game and disconnected.

It reminds me that the Enemy plays the same game. His delights and baubles sound so enticing. The best thing is that one does not have to put up any collateral. He will fill one’s life with all kinds of excitements if only we will not listen and respond to the Truth. I don’t imagine the number of individuals who respond to the PCH scam is significant, but there are enough who do to keep the people at work running the game. Unfortunately for us, we are born in the game. We are separated from God by the curse of sin and death because we are part of the human race. The Enemy is constantly at work fanning the flames of our will to violate God’s design and continue to embrace the journey which leads to separation from God forever.

The solution with PCH and other scams is a simple disconnect – though they will call back with something else. The solution to destroying the power of the Enemy is simple as well. It is the willing embrace of the Cross to death of self, and the willing embrace of faith in Christ Jesus our Lord. Find someone, or a gathering of genuine Believers, and ask for their help. Read the Word of God (the Bible) – John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 10:9-10 – or contact us here at Lloveletters.

Don’t lose your life to the longest running scam in the World.
