God's Code of Conduct...

St. Jerome, a father and Doctor of Catholic Church, rightly said, “Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ!”

A TV camera crew was on assignment in Southern Florida filming the widespread destruction of Hurricane Andrew.

In one scene, amid the devastation and debris stood one house on its foundation. The owner was cleaning up the yard when the reporter approached.

"Sir, why is your house the only one standing?" asked the reporter. "How did you manage to escape the severe damage of the hurricane?"

"I built the house myself," the man replied. "I also built it according to Florida State building code. When the code called for 2x6 trusses, I used 2x6 trusses. I was told that a house built according to code could withstand a hurricane. I did, and it did."

How about you and me?

Are we living according to God's code or God's word?
Or are we playing with the worlds' standard and making it our own standard way of living?

Today we are seeing signs of times…Pornography, Premarital sex, Homosexuality and other Sinful acts has become a norm in our society. 

That's why we need to be vigilant and meditate day and night on the Word of God, for the enemy is prowling like a roaring lion waiting to devour us. God would like us to live on a solid commitment to His words and His ways and be in God’s perfect will. The Word is truth and sometimes the truth is painful, but so is antiseptic on a wound.

Many of us spend 16 or more years of our life preparing for our secular career, then take continuing Ed courses on nights and weekends. In contrast, how much have we invested in our Education in the Word of God, essential for our heavenly career? 

Hosea 4:6, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge". Spiritual ignorance is a very serious matter. 

If God has spoken to our hearts this morning, let us…

“Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. (Joshua 1:8) 

Stay Blessed!
