Apples of Gold - December 16

Christians are not to be of this world. There is a real danger in entangling ourselves in the affairs of men, getting caught up in plans and programs and agendas, and thereby losing our ability to “seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God” (Colossians:3:1If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
See All...). The verse goes on to say, “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.” We are to be eagerly waiting and watching for Christ to return to take us up to be with Him forever. How sad to waste our time here on earth involved in the things that turn out to be “wood, hay, stubble…” (1 Corinthians:3:10According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
See All...–15), yet this verse also says, “he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved.”

"Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is."
