Emphasis Preaching Journal

Aunt Helen was a beloved aunt of mine. Her trademark was to play jokes on us at Christmastime. We might receive a puzzle with five missing pieces or unmatched socks. We knew one of our cousins had gotten the sock we needed. She always played games like that. Hardly ever did she do something without playing games with us. Sometimes, I think members of the Body of Christ play games like Aunt Helen. They are so eager to make their own marks. They add a little to this, and take away a little of that. The first thing you know, they have a whole new game plan.
