Today’s Thought “No Wine Before Time” G.Ward

“No one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the skins as well; but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins.” Mark 2:22

Faith practiced disallows failure; while periodic consideration of surrender to Christ invites loss. This kind of defeat is transcendent of the kind of visuals that may cause public embarrassment; but permits vulnerability unto despair found when submission to one’s own pattern becomes preeminent to proven righteousness (i.e. Holy God’s word).

Although our salvation is not attained via our offerings, we’re compelled towards a pursuit therein worthy of recognition by the Distributor first (Eph.2:8-10) and others purview thereafter (Mt 5:16). You certainly don’t want a trail of drippings (particularly after the container bursts) reeking of intoxicants emanating from following worldly standards soon to pass away (Mt.24:35)?
