STILL PREACHIN
Stanley Hamilton
(Luke 12: 17,18) "And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room wherewith to bestow MY fruits? And he said, This will I do; I will pull down MY barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all MY fruits and MY goods,"
The scripture tells about a rich farmer, who like most people, wanted to squeeze all he could out of life. Look at the scripture. PROMINENT WORDS are I, I, I and ME, ME, ME. MY barns, My fruits, MY goods. So many folks think just like him; MY house, MY wife, My money, MY life, A country song calls a girl, "MY one and only possession." Human nature is self-centered. W e by nature, want, what we want, when we want it. We do what we have to do to get it! Whatever it takes for self gratification . . .We do it! Lie, cheat, steal, even kill. Our attitude is, "Sorry, if others get hurt, but MY needs come first." THIS IS THE THINKING OF MEN WITHOUT GOD!
God changes people. God is love and causes people to become instruments of His love. God "Makes ALL things work together for good", for His people, People don't need to hurt other people, or themselves, to find fulfillment. It comes as a by-product of living for Jesus. If you feel that something is missing in YOUR life;
WHY NOT GIVE GOD A CHANCE?
