Today’s Thought “It’s the Weekend Baby!” G. Ward

“Your gold and your silver have rusted; and their rust will be a witness against you and will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have stored up your treasure!” James 5:3

“He’s coming back soon” has been the chant of generations for thousands of years. The Apostle Paul anticipated the Lord’s return during his own lifetime as he penned 1 Thessalonians 4 regarding the coming of the Lord ( vs. 15 ”For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that WE who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.”). This anticipation from the Apostle and James demanded that their lives in earth reflect understanding this advent. They both sought to impose this prescription in holiness (a self-denying devotion to God) unto any who would hear. It was a message of urgency then and continues to be. What it didn’t support was a wanton life in personal pleasure.

While many persist in personal struggle in study of God’s word along with violating worship’s demand on Sundays (and Bible Study times), there continues to be frivolous claimants of Knowing HIM…

Happy Friday!
