reflections
If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off in the end than they were at the beginning. It would have been better for them not to have known the way of the righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them.
2 Peter 2:20-21
Pastor Chris's sermon this week really made me think about myself ever since i became a christian. Sometimes i really wonder have i really protrayed myself as a God-fearing christian and shown the qualities of a good christian? Have i done anything that are not pleasing to the eyes of God? Have i replaced God with the idolatry of material gains, adulteries and other worldly pleasures? Have i always placed God in the centrestage of my life?
At times, sadly i admit i've not done so.
Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog returns to its vomit," and, "A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud."
2 Peter 2:22
I'm thankful to Pastor Chris for bringing this up and reminding myself of the importance of not excluding God from my everyday life and i'm also thankful to the rest of the punjers for the constant encouragment to continue growing in the faith and knowledge of God's words in my daily life where we tend to be easily distracted and discouraged by work, people and other circumstances.
Although i'm currently into investment and the like in order to gain financial knowledge and freedom, i pray that i will not come to the point where God no longers takes centrestage and i will not replace God with the idolatry of Donald Trump/Warren Buffett etc. Amen.
