Who Are You Serving?
“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.” (Matthew 6:24)
In this time that God has given us, we need to decide, “Will we serve the Lord?” You cannot have one foot in one place and the other foot in another camp. That is not how God wants you to be. God wants you to take a stand and align with His will and His Word at all times.
Do not live a dichotomized life, with your secular life over here, and your Christian life over there. You are religious over here with these people, and you are secular over there with some other friends. Do you know what that is called? Hypocrisy! There are more hypocrites today than ever before.
You might be thinking, “Pastor, why are you so concerned about this? Don't get so intense over this.” In the time that God gives us, we must decide to either choose the world or choose Christ. Either stand at the cross or identify with the world. God calls us to make a stand. There has never been a more important time for you and your family to take a stand. Where will you stand?
If you have never given your life to Christ, you need to turn from your sin and accept Christ. You need Jesus. Otherwise, you will split hell wide open when you die. The decisions that you make here will affect where you will go in the days to come. Do you understand that? You will not live forever. There is a moment in time, when either Jesus comes (which I am holding out for), or you will lay down this physical skin suit that God has allowed you to have for a short period of time. You will go into eternity, which means you will last forever.
If you want to go to heaven, the only way to enter heaven is to turn from your sin and place your faith in Christ right now. By doing that, you are saying, “I am choosing to identify with Christ, His Word, His will, and His body for the rest of my life. There is no turning back!
There is no social Christianity in the Scripture, especially in the Book of Revelation. Who are you going to serve? Like Bob Dylan once wrote in his “theological” work, “You may serve the devil, or you may serve the Lord, but everybody is going to serve somebody.” Make it Jesus!

I WILL SERVE JESUS!!!!!
Yes !! Lord keep us mindful of who You are!! Let us serve You while we have the opportunity You have given us ... We owe our "All in All" to You Alone! We Praise You, Our Lord and King !! -Amen-
I Love JESUS and I Praise GOD Almighty. I ask The Holy Spirit's Guidance to Serve GOD Almighty !
Amen! Good message.
I'm glad I got out of the work world when I did. It got harder and harder to see Jesus anywhere. I stand for Jesus. And I was placed in another part-time position where I could speak about Jesus freely. It's a sad thing to see people categorizing their beliefs outside of the church ⛪. I love Jesus and He loves 💘 me. He's my special valentine 💠⤠💕 💗
I will serve God! there is nothing else that gives peace of mind and purpose.
Bob Dillon wrote the song "you gotta serve somebody "
It has very good lyrics and good tune
I know a girl who quoted Dylan all the time , she passed away and she loved Jesus . I know we will meet again . Thank you for that message and your ministry Curt !
