A Thought: Are You In or Out?

God keeps it pretty simple, either you are in or you are out. Say you were going to build a house and you asked for help . A man came and said he would help you and in return you agreed to pay him a fair wage. Imagine then how you would feel if he started showing up absent some days, others he would leave early but there were still somedays he would work all day.  Perhaps you would have concern for his will being and you might be frustrated about falling behind schedule. How upset would you be if you found your laborer across town working on someone else’s house, and that is the reason why they had been missing work or leaving early. I imagine you might feel betrayed. God has things he wishes to accomplish. He doesn’t need our help but he loves us and wants us to join him. How do think God feels if we act as we want to help him help the world on Sunday, if on Monday we commit ourselves to a life promoting and living in sin?

Just a thought.

Luke 11: 14 - 23

14

Now he was casting out a demon that was dumb; when the demon had gone out, the dumb man spoke, and the people marveled.

15

But some of them said, "He casts out demons by Be-el'zebul, the prince of demons";

16

while others, to test him, sought from him a sign from heaven.

17

But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls.

18

And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Be-el'zebul.

19

And if I cast out demons by Be-el'zebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.

20

But if it is by the finger of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21

When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace;

22

but when one stronger than he assails him and overcomes him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoil.

23

He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.
