No servant 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.” Luke 16:13 (ESV) Those who grew up in the church know that there is no possible way to serve two masters. Yet, this intellectual knowledge often is not translated into reality because the lines seem fuzzy as to what “serve” means. Serve simply means slave, either voluntary or involuntary. We can be a slave to many things other than God, but we cannot be a slave to more than one thing. I can give servitude to my feelings, emotions, pleasure, comfort, job, money, family, fame, etc. However, I cannot be a servant to any of those and a servant of God. God does not say we should ignore the various inputs in our lives, He states that we cannot serve more than one of them. Who or what is it you serve? Why? |
