Wording of this Handout:
Two Dogs
Have you heard the story about the black dog and the white dog? It's just a made up story, but it has a good point.
The two dogs lived in the same house, and their owner found that when he fed the black dog it grew, while at the same time the white dog shrank. The same thing happened the other way around too! It was most peculiar.
You and I have two natures inside us - one for sin and one for God. Just like the two dogs, if we feed one it grows, but at the expense of the other.
Which nature are you feeding today?
The Bible says, "Keep away from every kind of evil."
1 Thessalonians 5:22
