Under the Influence of Affluence

Money can be intoxicating. Whether taken straight or mixed with cars, sound systems, clothes, and apartment furnishings, money is heady stuff—it can leave you stoned, high, drunk, blotto. Like any intoxication, the first taste of wealth may bring an exhilarating rush, but eventually it can take over a person's life, leaving that person under the Influence of Affluence.

Working Hard Or Hardly Working

How can we get motivated when we don't feel like doing anything?

First, I think what we need to do is continually commit the area of work to the Lord Jesus and allow the Holy Spirit to change us. Then we should begin to associate more and more with those who are industrious, and less and less with our sluggish friends. 1 Cor. 15:33—"Do not be misled: 'Bad company corrupts good character.'" We should follow the guidelines outlined in Proverbs.

A Father's Race

I want to examine with you A Father's Race and what that means in the context of Hebrews 12:1-11.

Hebrews 12:1-11

Some time ago when I was in Wenatchee, I stopped in at one of the places I remember from growing up—Dusty's In and Out. When I got there I looked on the wall, and saw this picture of the 1957 Dusty's In and Out team, and the guy in the top row in the middle was me!

Raising Men of Character

Near the end of the 19th century, on the heels of a bloody civil war Josiah Holland wrote, "God, give us men! A time like this demands strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands"—The Best Loved Poems of the American People, p. 132.

Throughout history, long before the Marines, God has been looking for a few good men: "For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him"—2 Chron. 16:9a. "I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap..."—Ezek. 22:30a.

Did God find men with strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands? Did He give us such men? Yes!
