MORNING IN AMERICA?


Mathew 6: 19-24
Treasures in Heaven
19“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. 23But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24“No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.”
Most have chosen money.  It may not be morning in America, but it’s time to wake up. Over the last decade our country has become evenly divided and hostility has been deliberately instilled in both sides.  This was not done by people serving God, but by those serving money. The lines have been drawn, the stage set, and the curtain is going up.  The faltering economy, combined with drought, failed crops, shortages, unaffordable and escalating prices, and an unparalleled climate of hatred worldwide, do not bode well for our country or the world.  Over the months ahead, these conditions are likely to become a perfect storm. Make what preparations you can.  If you’re a praying person, I suggest you pray.  SC
