A NEW YEAR IS BORN

As we close out the old year or as the Old Year comes to an end we are to lift up our heads and look up for our redemption draweth nigh. 1. Let us remember those that have laboured with us and have been called home from works to reward. 2. Let us continue to lift up our clergy, brothers and sisters in the Lord and pray the Lord to continues to pour out His blessings on His children. 3. Remember the Homeland of St. Vincent and the Grenadines where the citizens are under the threat of the volcano.

DO YOU HAVE A PLUMB LINE?

 

Ephesians 1:3-14
Amos 7:7-15

Conclusion

If you try to build a house by what looks even and what certainly seems to be square, you will fail every time. It will always be uneven, out of kilter, and crooked. Our vision simply isn’t that good. We need a better standard, a true measure to go by.

When we try to live by what seems to be working or what is successful for us, we can end up with the standards of Bernie Madoff or Wall Street manipulators. The ethics that God gives us demand fairness, equality, justice and compassion.

Amos’ call is to remember the plumb line God has set and to build by it: square, even, strong, and true.

Amen
