An Eskimo fisherman came to town every Saturday afternoon. He always brought
his two dogs with him. One was white and the other was black. He had taught them
to fight on command. Every Saturday afternoon in the town square the people
would gather and these two dogs would fight and the fisherman would take bets.
On one Saturday the black dog would win; another Saturday, the white dog would
win but the fisherman always won! His friend began to ask him how he did it. He
said, “I starve one and feed the other. The one I feed always wins because he is
stronger.” This story about the two dogs tells us something about the inner
warfare that comes into the life of a person who is born again. We have
two natures within us, both struggling for mastery. Which one will dominate us?
It depends on which one we feed.” (
