Talented musician and former 'Eagle', Don Henley, wrote a song called "Gimme What You Got". In it is one of my very favorite one liners, with or without music: He wrote, "Cross a lawyer with the Godfather, baby, he'll make you a deal you can't understand." Lawyers can be like that. The best lawyers are talented simplifiers or, when it suits their needs, master complicators. In order to get a point across, a good lawyer may or may not make things easily understandable. And oftentimes, when looking to win a case, they will surgically overhaul the truth to warp or diminish its power entirely. The devil is often moving in our minds like an arguing lawyer. He knows the law, every loophole in the law - he knows human nature - and he knows how to make any lie look like the truth - and vice versa. I know just enough law to know that if I ever represented myself in court regarding any matter larger than a parking ticket, I could easily wind up incarcerated for life. And l know enough about the apologetic skills of satan to not enter into many arguments with him. But when he corners me, God's word and His ever present Spirit are indeed the 'Mighty Fortress' Martin Luther was justifiedly singing about.
