Word from Nairnshire
by Sandy Shaw
"Eat, drink and be merry." It is in the Bible, but how dangerous when taken out of context. Some add, for to-morrow we die, revealing a fundamental flaw.
To-morrow we do not die, but live with the consequences of eating and drinking today. There is a price to pay for undisciplined excess.
God said to that poor rich farmer, "You fool! This very night your life will be demanded of you."
Not very often does God call a person a fool. People can regard a fool as someone not very bright mentally. God thinks of a man who is not very bright morally.
There is no use praying for this not to happen. In some areas prayer is irrelevant and invalid.
When we are summoned by God, we have no choice.
Do you know how much so-and-so left? Everything!
The man who lays up treasure for himself is not rich towards God.
Jesus is not against riches, but selfishness.
How much is in your account in the Bank of Heaven? Money can be invested in that account through a local branch Sunday by Sunday.
Jesus teaches about investing in heaven, where there are no thieves, no rust and corruption, no moths eating it away, and no inflation devaluing our investments.
Imagine hearing one day, someone from Africa saying to you, "God sent a missionary to our village. I heard all about Jesus and that He is my Saviour. What the teacher said kept me going when I was about to give up. His teaching strengthened me when I was down. I became a disciple of Jesus and continued faithful through the encouragement I received. I learned that all this came to me because you gave money to send the man with the message.”
What an investment!
