TERMITES IN THE TEMPLE
Why would a man continue to smoke and drink after nearly dying?
One cigarette seems harmless enough. One drink hurts little.
But, over a lifetime of abuse, taste is dulled and wind shortened.
The joy of life has been robbed by the polluted pleasures given.
It makes no sense that one cannot see this happening.
Then, I stop to consider the little “cigs” in my life.
What bad little habits are robbing me of the abundant life?
A little here and a little there and a lifetime has been wasted.
What might have been will never be realized.
Thinks on things above …
By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be careful how he builds.
For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames. (1Cor.3:10-15)
