Whom Will You Serve?

Joshua 24:14-15
14 "Now therefore fear the LORD and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness. Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD.
15 And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." Just as in the days of Joshua, it has been laid before us to choose whom we will serve! Doing so with a cheerful heart and an expectation that God will do what He promises! I will not lie to you as some do! If you follow Christ, life will not be without trials, but the way in which you respond will be based upon Christ and His teaching. It will be an amazing wonder to the lost around you. It will be an encouragement to your brothers and sisters in Christ as you walk in faith. You will not have riches untold but you will have peace that the world can not understand.
Acts 17:30 In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.With the freedom of religion we have in America, we must stand on God's promise of the return of His Son to claim His chosen people. If you choose to deny God, then His judgement will be just as it will be on all! With the choice to serve God, we have Christ as our intermediary when we sin. You must turn for sin and ask God for forgiveness. Heb.7:17-2817 For it is witnessed of him, "You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek." 18 For on the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness 19 (for the law made nothing perfect); but on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God. 20 And it was not without an oath. For those who formerly became priests were made such without an oath, 21 but this one was made a priest with an oath by the one who said to him: "The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, 'You are a priest forever.'" 22 This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant. 23 The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, 24 but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. 25 Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermostthose who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. 26 For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. 27 He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself. 28 For the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever.Lord, only You can change hearts. We who love and server You lift up the lost to You. Help us to teach the world the truth of Your salvation. Amen
