LOOKING BACK
I enjoyed preaching yesterday. That isn't always the case. Sometimes it just doesn't seem to flow and I still haven't worked out the secret after more than forty years of doing it. But I love it when I'm in the groove.
I began and ended with a quote from the Book of Proverbs -
Proverbs 3:9,10 - Honor God with everything you own; give him the first and the best. Your barns will burst, your wine vats will brim over.
That looks like a no brainer from the start, doesn't it? If you delve into the meanings of each word of those two sentences in the original Hebrew language of the Old Testament, it's still a no brainer.
What is wrong with people that they refuse an offer like that from God? - Give him the first and the best and you'll always have plenty.
That really sums up all that I was trying to say in almost three hours of talking as I worked through the Mad Money series. If you don't grasp that, and go for it, then to be honest, I can't work out what your problem is - except that maybe the great philosopher Forrest Gump had it brilliantly right when he commented Stupid is as stupid does!
