Christ the Key

Meditation from Php 3.8ff... that I may gain Christ. All that a man can have in this life or in the next is Christ. Other things can be gained, but they fall through the fingers. They melt. They are shortly stripped away at death if not sooner. The faceless masses of humanity are born, live, and die like beasts, like flies, without finding the one thing that they desperately needed for their eternal welfare. Christ is the Passport we must have at the gate to heaven. Christ is the Key to the gate of glory. Christ is the only Bread that contains immortality. We go through this life with this one big opportunity -- gaining Christ. - Bob Jennings

Does Job Fear God for Nothing

Job 1:9 Then Satan answered the Lord, "Does Job fear God for nothing?" Satan knows the crux of the universe -- whether or not I will serve the Lord regardless of the benefits, ie, will I serve Him for nothing -- not because of the benefits and blessings. Most who profess Christ serve Him for what they get out of Him -- better marriage, better children, better society, better job, better end. They keep God around like a farmer a milk cow - just for what he can get out of the animal. But the true Christian has seen the glory of the Lord and serves the Lord ultimately because He is worthy. - Bob Jennings
