DB - Saturday 31st January 2009 - A Breach In The Wall
Everything that belongs to the world - what the sinful self desires, what people see and want, and everything in this world that people are proud of - none of this comes from the Father. - 1 John 2:16
Parents send their children to Christian Schools believing that their child will benefit from the high moral and right values prescribed in these schools. They are right. I can testify that from my early education in SAS & ACS have built in me the values that laid the foundation for my life. Though I have regrets and misjudgements, my days are mostly encouraging and with peace and joy.
As we look towards to new Lunar 'Niu' Year, our hope and desire must be pure and wholesome. In relationship, the wall that separate us from temptation cannot have a breach nor should it be build on hypothetical and insincerity. We must admit that by our own strength, we could not withstand the attraction of the wrong kind. We are not to love the world or anything that belongs to the world. When we love anything that belongs to the world, we will have no time to love our Father. Look into the direction of our Lord and let His Spirit help us to be discerning over the things that we have and what we wish.
The world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
