Key Text: Matthew 6:24 KJV - No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

What do you have in your heart; silver or salvation? Those whose hearts are controlled by silver can do anything for money. These are people who have vowed to make it at all cost; by lying, stealing or even killing. To them, it is right to work in a brewery, tobacco factory, or sell their products. Beware of the love of money and come out from the company of those bound by it.

Those who in any way help to make alcohol, illicit drugs or tobacco available to end-users will come under the same judgment as the producers and consumers. "Be not ye therefore partakers with them" - Ephesians 5:7. Do not allow the love of money to drawn your soul in perdition for it is the root of all evil.

Choose you this day whom ye will serve; Satan or the Saviour. Satan may give you silver and gold but you will end up in hell. Jesus gives full salvation which comes with all that you need here on earth and secures you a place in heaven, if you endure to the end.

Prayer: O Lord, I want the full salvation that saves and keeps and satisfies the soul. Deliver me from the love of money, in Jesus name. Amen.

Reflection: How long halt ye between two opinions? Choose you this day whom ye will serve - 1 Kings 18:21b; Joshua 24:15b.
