I have heard it said that we should keep our friends close and our enemies even closer. I have also heard that if you want to find a hypocrite, visit a church. Wow, is that too much? Did I loose you? If not, please read more. Politics in my opinion is full of hypocrisy. They say whatever the crowd present at the time wants to hear. I believe that there is a balancing act between our integrity and our ultimate purpose in life. What is our purpose in life? Well, I will not get into the details on that in this brief message but advise you to find out for yourself. Perhaps, as you read this, you may get a since of direction to find your purpose. Maybe just maybe your purpose is to be an example for others so that they can find their purpose. So I ask you, “who is your master”? Are we controlled by worldly wealth and what it can buy in this world? Are we controlled by a higher calling and use worldly wealth as a tool to make friends that along with you are welcomed into the eternal homes? One master is very temporary where one master is forever. Choose and choose wisely. Read Luke 16:9 and then back up to the beginning of this chapter for more understanding with the parable of the household manager. While you have the good book open, read about how Paul provided instructions to young Timothy prior to Paul’s demise at the hands of the Romans. (Read 1 Timothy 2:1-7 then listen to my brief audio below.) Paul started an admitted big sinner but ended his life serving the Master. Who is your Master?
