How many times have you heard…..oh God won’t mind if…..or oh God understands…..

Does God mind if we sin?

Does God really understand when we lean on our own understanding?

What is our motive behind a comment such as God won’t mind or God understands.

As you pull into the drive thru of your local bank for a quick transaction and  fill out the deposit slip and deposit your last payroll check. You deposit most of the money except $50.00 for diapers, milk and medication.    You retrieve your money from the tube, you put your deposit slip and the envelope with your cash into your pocket and drive away.  

When you get to the store you shop for what you need and while at the check out you notice you have three crisp $20.00 dollar bills, realizing you were given to much money from the bank…

WHAT DO YOU DO?

WHAT DO YOU DO?

Tell the truth, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? in any of these moral dilemmas presented. Prefer you didn’t leave your name. I insist you DON’T leave your name.  If you have a moral dilemma to add, please do so.  If we don’t ask ourselves these questions now when we’re rational, how will we react when the pressure is on. Will we make the right choice when our salvation is on the line. What will your instincts tell you to do.

  A continuing series of presentations through October 29th  -  All viewed by way of Satellite in the church sanctuary.  All seats are free (of course!).  Friday September 30 starts the series. I hear chili and sandwiches will be served as a meal for those coming straight from work.

The Andrews Study Bibles will be given to 50 people who make the time to attend at least 10 days of the series.    This would be the time to invite someone you know has an interest in knowing the bible better.   It’s amazing how much you learn each time this series is presented. Like the bible, it depends on the writer, different views create a bigger picture.

I’ll be first in line for chili!!!!!
