archivesHe Made Just One Mistakeby John Shadowen 1. He brushed his teeth twice a day—with a nationally advertised toothpaste. 2. The doctor examined him twice a year. 3. He slept with a window open for fresh air. 4. He stuck to a diet of fresh vegetables. 5. He golfed—but never more than 18 holes at a time. 6. He got at least eight hours of sleep each night. 7. He never smoked nor drank nor lost his temper. 8. He was all set to live to be a hundred. But his funeral was held last Wednesday, and He is survived by 18 specialists, 4 health institutes, 2 gymnasiums, and numerous manufacturers of antiseptics and health foods. He just made one mistake! He forgot God. He lived as if this world was all that counted. Now he exists with those who say, “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved” (Jeremiah 8:20). If you should die tonight, where would you spend eternity? (Luke 12:15-21, 16:19-31; Psalm 9:17; 1 Thessalonians 1:7-9). Hope to hear from you or see you at the services ( categories: Words of the Week )

Scripture of the WeekAnd likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
