false sense of being


Friday November 23rd, Mark 13:  5 Jesus said to them: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 6 Many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and will deceive many.  What gifts do you want to hold up for your children to see?  What principles do you want to hold up for society to value?  When we get to the end of our lives and all that stuff we have collected is just old and dusty, what do you want to hold onto?  What wisdom would you want to pass on to your grandchildren?  There are many who come to deceive in the name of Christ just like there are many who come to deceive in the name of commerce.  They give a false sense of our being in charge if only we do or buy or believe this or that.  Be a part of something that matters, to the world, to your children, to great grandchildren, nieces and nephews yet to come, and most of all, to yourself.  Be a part of something that matters, be a part of the kingdom here and now.
