Gods Flavor

But I have noticed that my sons and it seems like a lot of the younger generation want to chase the all mighty dollar. Going from one job to another, just because it pays more. You don’t hear of many people who make their job a career. They will work a couple of years at one place, but if something looks a little better, they are gone. In sports as well with the NIL deals. You see a player transfer from the school they started out, because another school offers them a little more money.

There is nothing wrong with trying to improve yourself and if Gods opens a door, walk through it. But I have tried to instill in my sons to find a job that they LIKE, and can make a living at. Who wants to work and make more money just to be miserable in doing so?

You see it with the marriages. Over half the marriages end up in divorce. (Including Christians) Then 67% of second marriages end in divorce, and 73% of third. The grass may look greener on the other side, but guess what. It still needs mowed. Now being divorced myself, I know there are times there are no other options. But the Bible says in Matthew 19:6 Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together.”

Just because it looks good, doesn’t mean that it taste good.

We even have it in our churches. You have people who hop from one church to another, because they got their feelings hurt. There is only one reason that you should leave a church. You should leave a church because God told you too.

I attended the church that my dad pastored until my early 30’s. There was some things I didn’t like, but I didn’t leave. There will never be a “Burger King” church on this earth. You can never always have it your way. But then I went to a different church to try to sell them a copier on a Wednesday night and it was too late to go my church so I stayed for their service. I came home and told my wife about the service, and told her we should try it some time. So here it was a few weeks later, Super Bowl Sunday night. We showed up with our newborn baby and they were all downstairs having a dinner. They went on to inform me that they were not going to have a regular service, they were just going to have a short devotion and prayer time and then watch the Super Bowl. I thought, Praise God. I like this church. But by Gods direction I did leave my home church and ended up working with the youth at the new church and became licensed and ordained and eventually the pastor and I served there for 17 years. I was not upset with my Home church, I was just following Gods direction.

But I have seen people who leave a church and follow the pastor. There is no chapter or verse that says, “Follow your pastor”. It states, “Follow ME, Jesus.” Instead of leaving a church because of a pastor, why don’t you pray for the pastor you have? Being a pastor is a tough job. You can never please everyone, so you just try to please God the one who counts.

Adam and Eve, thought the fruit looked good. But the end result was that it was the beginning of the end. God had told them that if you eat it, or even touch it that you will die. Just because it looks good, does not mean that it taste good.
