I'm preaching on a great passage of Scripture this weekend - 1 John 2:15-17. "Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world - the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does - comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever." (NIV)
I've read this passage dozens of times, I'm sure, but not really ever taken the time to stop and think - "What do I crave - the things of the world or God? What catches my eye - things I want or the needs of other people? What do I boast about - what I've done or what God is doing in me?"
How would you answer those questions? I hope I'll see you this Saturday, October 23, at our next Serve Sunnyslope. If you're not already signed up to serve, call Cindy in the church office - (602)246-9206.
