Your Judge Can Be Your Saviour

MATTHEW 7:12-23     THE DIFFERENCE IS KNOWING GOD Jeremiah 31:31-36   Matthew 13:24-43 This week we have had NSW State Government Ministers fail "The Pub test"  The pub test? There is a greater test than the court of ublic opinion. It is the court of God the Most High Judge.   Pub Test? Court Test? No!  The Day of Judgment test! Many will say to Me in that day." He used no other words–"in that day"–that terrible day–that Last Great Day–that day for which all other days were made–that day by which all other days must be measured and judged. What is the chief objective of your life?

LIFE’S GREATEST QUESTION What is to be the focus of my life?

LIFE'S GREATEST QUESTION      What is to be the focus of my life? Materialism Seems More Real Than Faith 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 22 "The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light,23 but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! Will Having MORE THINGS make me MORE HAPPY ? "Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. . . As goods increase, so do those who consume them.

Lincoln Eve Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry 'The woman was made out of a rib taken from the side of Adam; not made out of his head to rule over him; not out of his feet to be trampled upon by him; but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be beloved.' Abraham Lincoln sang at his sister's wedding: The woman was not taken From Adam's feet, we see; So he must not abuse her The meaning seems to be. The woman was not taken From Adam's head, we know; To show she must not rule him- 'Tis evidently so. The woman she was taken From under Adam's arm; So she must be protected  From injuries and harm.
