BUT NOT AS MUCH

Today's reading: 2 Kings 16-20

"He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, but not as much as the kings of Israel who ruled before him." 2 Kings 17:2 NLT

We live in a 'not as much' society.

A society where we say...

Maybe I did sin, but my sin wasn't as stinky as theirs.

Yes, I chose to follow my heart rather than God, but did you see them ____?

Sure, I did ___, but it wasn't as bad as their ____. 

Friend, did you know (or did you need reminding) that when we stand before God, we'll not be answering for anyone other than ourselves--and our answer will be a simple, YES or NO...

Do you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior?

God will not grade our sins, prioritize our foibles, weigh out our mistakes. 

He will ask...

Do you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior?

He won't ask about 'them'. He won't compare your rap sheet against theirs. He will ask you, point blank...

Do you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior?

So today, with all eyes on your own heart...

Do you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior?
