Black Friday

1 Timothy 6:6–10 (KJV 1900) — 6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

When we think about Black Friday in this day and age, we probably think back to some of the sad videos of people trying to grab sale items off a shelf or display before the rest of the mob beats them to it..... in some sad cases, fights ensue.....people actually fighting one another over a toy.....I can't imagine our Founding Fathers had this in mind when our nation was founded on the basic principles of freedom....but what you may not understand is that we have people walking the streets who would literally lie, cheat, steal and fight over a "thing".....I wonder if those same people would be willing to fight for our country if necessary, but that is another story for another day....the point I would like to make this black friday, is to remind everyone of what we call Good Friday....when the skies did turn black for 3 hours....our Savior Jesus Christ died on the cross.....after being severely tortured and mocked.....to be secured in a tomb....to rise and live again....to prove to us and the world that there is life after death....and if we receive Him into our hearts, we'll have no more Black Fridays or any other Black days of the week! We know what true contentment is! We no longer need be concerned about the "latest and greatest" items this world has to offer....we have found that "treasure hid in a field, which, when a man finds it, goes and sells whatever he has to buy that field"....My friends, that field is salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ...as we enter into the Holiday season, the Christmas Season, I hope that the above words ring true in your hearts.....I hope that if we had to fight over something, we would fight against sin which ruins peoples homes and lives....that we would fight to get people  back into a Bible believing Church....I don't mean a physical fight my friends....we wrestle not with flesh and blood the Bible says....but spiritual wickedness in high places....this type of wickedness would cause a man or woman to beat their fellow citizen over a package of some sort.....and all the world would give everything they had to just get here and be satisfied.....Please pray for our Nation and our President and all of our leaders today.....May God bless you and your family today and every day!
