“‘NO SERVANT

Luke 16:13

Introduction:

CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS.

A.  EITHER HE WILL HATE THE ONE AND LOVE THE OTHER,

B.  OR HE WILL BE DEVOTED TO THE ONE AND DESPISE THE OTHER.

End:

YOU CANNOT SERVE BOTH GOD AND MONEY.'”

“DON’T GIVE UP

there are people who care about you,” I am reading on the card I picked up this morning at the Mental Health Awareness Week Celebrations at the OLD PAK N SAVE carpark here in Kaitaia.

KAITAIA: Mental Health Awareness Week Celebrations.

Reading that reminds me  of the verse in the Bible, where it says:

“CAST ALL YOUR ANXIETY ON HIM BECAUSE HE CARES FOR YOU.”

You find that verse in First Peter 5:7.

It is good to know that people care about me, but it is even better to know that the Lord Jesus Christ cares about me.

Do you know that the Lord Jesus Christ cares for you?

When I was pointed today to the operating instructions for the mechanized furniture I was horrified to find out that I did it the wrong way. I was actually sitting on the mechanized chair when the instruction card was handed to me.

As you well know for certain things we buy user’s guides are included and so are important safety instructions. We are also admonished to read all the instructions before using the appliances.

“How to operate this mechanism”

We are not only given a guide book for our mobile phone, but we are also given a guide book for life. The Bible is the guide book to everlasting life

I used to teach the Bible in many schools here in New Zealand, mainly in Kaikohe and in the schools around Kaikohe. I told the children that the Bible is a library of 66 books, and that the Bible is divided into two main sections, namely the Old Testament containing 39 books and the New Testament containing 27 books. Did you know that?

The Bible was written over a period of  1600 years by 36-40 authors. The Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, is the author of the Bible. The main theme of the Bible is the Lord Jesus Christ. Originally the Old Testament was written in Hebrew and Aramaic. The New Testament was written in Greek

Not using a mechanized chair according to the operation instructions can ruin the chair of course. But not using our lives according to the instructions of the Scriptures has not only consequences for this life but also eternal consequences.
