January Topic: OBEDIENCE IS GREATER THAN SACRIFICE |
Of all the things I have had to learn over the length of my lifetime - this is the most important. If we don't get this right, the rest is impossible. So let's spend this first month of the year getting our priorities in the correct order. |
Deuteronomy 6:8
TIE THEM AS SYMBOLS ON YOUR HANDS AND BIND THEM TO YOUR FOREHEADS
If Christians today were half as concerned to put this verse into effect, as they are about speculating as to the form the number 666 will take and its effects, and being obsessed with spiritual warfare and spiritual attacks, we would win the battle and change society instead of antagonising it!
Is it not logical that the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe in general and human beings in particular would know what is best for society in general and us in particular? That His handbook or life manual (the Bible) would contain within its pages wisdom which if adopted and put into practice would actually give us "Heaven on Earth".
What do you think? I feel that we have "sold the 10 Commandments short". We have concentrated so much on the "Thou shalt nots..." God gave us 10; Jesus said they are based on two. In our sophistication we now have hundreds of thousands of laws, with hundreds added annually by successive Governments, who have turned their backs on God and the 10 Commandments!
Yet if you asked your unsaved neighbour, "Wouldn't you like to live in a society where, people put others first; kept their word; could be trusted; where relationships were everlasting, where you could go out leave the house, car etc unlocked and come back and find it still all there?" They would say they would - and yet isn't that what the 10 Commandments are really all about?
Why not recommit yourself now, before God, to allow Him to make these Commandments into "promises" in your life, so you start the process of changing society.
Take heart you will not be alone as you do it.
