Choices
It is widely believed that having choices is a good thing. It doesn’t really matter whether you
choose chocolate or vanilla ice cream, thin crust or deep dish pizza or McDonald’s coffee versus
Starbucks latte. In the end the only casualty may be your waist line. In our Spiritual life we also
have choices. However the stakes are much higher if you are cavalier about your choices.
Exodus 20:10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no
work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor
your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.
For many we see the weekend as a time for rest and recreation. A family vacation often is an
excellent way to share family time and that is encouraged. Issue arises when we choose to treat
Sunday (Sabbath) as just another day off. This may be a problem because the Sabbath was made
for man, and not man for the Sabbath. In other words, God established the Sabbath as a rest for
His people, not because He needed a break, but because we are mortal and need a time of rest, a
time to focus on God. In this, our spirits and bodies are both renewed. Will missing an occasional
Sunday Service or Wednesday night Bible Study be detrimental to your well-being? I am not
qualified to say. Is this an article of condemnation? Not at all. As Christians it is incumbent
among us to help and look out for one another and encourage Council from those who are
qualified to provide guidance. Red or green chili is a choice but serving God is not an option.
Congratulations to
Bro Mathew Trowbridge
for his successful completion of
the ExCELL Bible curriculum.
During the tri-semesters he
worked closely with Bro/Sis
Hernandez to complete the
in-depth course of study.
