Illustration:
Don't Let The Devil Hang A Nail On Your Door!
A Haitian pastor illustrated to his congregation the need for total commitment to Christ by sharing this parable:
A certain man wanted to sell his house for $2,000.
Another man wanted very badly to buy it, but because he was poor, he couldn't afford the full price.
After much bargaining, the owner agreed to sell the house for half the original price with just one stipulation: He would retain ownership of one small nail protruding from just over the door.
After several years, the original owner wanted the house back, but the new owner was unwilling to sell.
So, the first owner went out, found the carcass of a dead dog, and hung it from the single nail he still owned.
Soon the house became unlivable, and the family was forced to sell the house to the owner of the nail.
The Haitian pastor's conclusion: "If we leave the Devil with even one small peg in our life, he will return to hang his rotting garbage on it, making it unfit for Christ's habitation."
