Two Masters

I hate to be so blunt, but it is the truth and the truth hurts. If we believe God's Word is truth then we have no choice but to agree with what it says. Actually, I take that back because we do have a choice, but it doesn't change the truth that God's Word is truth. Our choice is which master we are going to serve.

In Matthew the apostle writes, "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money."
-Matthew 6:24


Folks, it doesn't get much clearer than that. We must, to quote Joshua in the Old Testament, "Choose this day whom you will serve." I just hope I can say as emphatically as that verse (Joshua 24:15), that despite all the masters I can serve (and Joshua mentions a few), that I would choose to serve the Lord.

But all of that (to quote my pastor), "serves as an introduction."

The Israelites were reminded time and time again about the ways God had delivered and led them out of Egypt and slavery. Well, we are like the Israelites in many ways because we are human. And as humans, we forget... A LOT! So, just to reiterate and remind us of our job as the body of Christ and how Stella's House offers a great opportunity to get involved, let me re-post this straight from stellasvoice.org:
