Morals Matter More than Money

11/12/2006

 
This is only for people who believe the Bible to be God's word.

"Only fear the Lord, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider how great things He hath done for you. But if you still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king," (1 Samuel 13:24–25 KJV).

"By the blessings of the upright the city is exalted; but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked," (Proverbs 11:11 KJV).

We have just completed the elections of 2006, and the scriptures show the importance of electing people who realize that God will ruin any nation that promotes sin. The dangerous thing about our nation is that we do elect such officials. We would much rather elect a person with no fear of God and a so called plan for jobs, over a person who fears God and has a weak plan for jobs. In other words, vote money over morality.

What we fail to see is, it is God, not man, who creates prosperity. For it is no problem for the Lord to bless a man who fears Him with the wisdom to figure out how to create jobs. But no way will God bless a nation that continues to sanction laws which are not in harmony with His word. Long ago, Jonah the prophet, was sent to Nineveh because their leaders had caused them to depart from the word of the Lord (Jonah 1:1–2).

Get to Know Your Neighbor

11/5/2006

 
This is only for people who believe the Bible to be God's word.

It has been said, "Give me my flowers while I'm alive, so I can see and smell them." And that is a true statement. Allow me to ask: Do you greet your neighbor? Are you on good terms with your neighbor? Do you even know the name of your neighbor? If one isn't friendly with his neighbor; why go to the funeral when he is dead? Why sit in a funeral chapel pretending to care for someone that you didn't even speak to? Now some will say. "I'm here to support the family." How can that be? The actions of being unfriendly toward the deceased would be unacceptable by the family. For example, are you going to tell the family how you ignored the person when he said hello?

We must stop being mean to others. We must do good to people. We must help the needy. We must greet our neighbors and others. We must love our fellow man. For life is too short and Judgment from God is certain. And none of us have the time to be acting like fools (Psalm 144:4; Ephesians 5:15; Acts 17:30-32; Hebrews 9:27; Ecclesiastes 12:14; Matthew 25:31-33).
​
Hope to hear from you or see you at the services.
