I live for those who love me, for those who know me true,

For the heaven that that smiles above me and awaits my

spirit too;

For the cause that lacks assistance for the wrong that needs

resistance,

For the future in the distance and the good that I can do.

“Choose for Yourselves This Day Whom You

Will Serve” Each of us, as Christians, should ask himself, Am I truly a servant of my Lord? Do I serve Him with my whole being? Do I love Him with all my heart, soul and mind (Matthew 22:37)? Am I winning souls? Do I find joy in seeing my brethren prosper, especially is they are more prosperous then I am? Am I happy living the Christian life. What about my relationship with God? Does it come from a pure and honest heart? When we sin-cerely and thoughtfully ask ourselves questions about our relationship with God, we may be surprised at our answers.

Being a servant of the Lord is a great honor, true happiness is found in serving Him. We are reminded in Acts 20:35 that the Lord Himself taught it is more blessed to give than to receive. Unfortunately, selfishness is a way of life for many and those who have selfish attitudes lead very unhappy lives.

Satan is at war with God for the souls of man. He has been deceiving man ever since the creation. Satan is constantly sending the wrong messages, placing many under bondage to him and blinding those who are under his control. In our fast paced world, it is all too easy to neglect our duty to study God’s word, pray and serve the Lord as we should.

We must learn to see the better things in life, and the best things truly are found in Christ. Through diligent and thoughtful study of the word of God, we will come to understand that happiness, peace of mind, joy, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith and love are found in Him (Galatians 5:22-23).

We are either servants of the Lord or servants of Satan. There is no neural positon wherein we can just sit back and wait to see who will win. The Bible is very clear as to who will win this great battle; God will be victorious! Our efforts are needed in this battle. We should be busy preaching and teaching the gospel, bringing the lost to Him before it is too late.

If You Were Running for Church Membership,

Suppose you had to run for church membership as a candidate runs for political office. Would you win your seat? Suppose that membership was good only one year and your re-election depended upon the good you had done in the church during that time. Would you be re-elected? Suppose there was a long list to get in. Would you be more alive to your church duties? Suppose you were called upon to explain just why the church should keep your name on the roll? Have you a rec-ord of helpful service to offer in your defense? Suppose every member of the church did as much as you are doing for the Lord. Would more seats be needed or would the doors be shut?
