SERVE--NO EXCUSES
Today's reading:  1 Corinthians 7-8

"Happiness or sadness or wealth should not keep anyone from doing God's work."  1 Corinthians 7:30 NLT

What are your excuses for not serving?

Oh, I'm certain at any given time each of us could rattle off a list of excuses a mile long.

But would they be acceptable to God?

Would they be valid when it came time to hold them against the eternity of another soul?

The Greek lexicon gives these words in regards to today's verse:  sobbing-joying-gathering to-holding down

If you're sad or angry, happy, busy making ends meet or relaxing in what you've gathered--serve!
