No Contraband

Hello Everyone,


Today we are going to great length to make sure our airways are safe. And there is plenty of reason for why this is needed to be done. It reminds me of a story once told that went something like this:

A traveler came to a road block and had to pass through custom. The officers said to him, "Have you any contraband goods?" He replied, "I do not think I have." "That may be all true," said the officers; "but we cannot permit you to pass without examination. Permit us to search." "If you please," said the traveler. After the examination was over, the traveler addressed the officers, saying, Gentlemen, will you allow me to tell you what thoughts this examination has come to my mind? We are all travelers to an eternal kingdom, into which we cannot take any contraband goods. These things can be deceitfulness, anger, pride, lying, covetousness, and similar offenses; which is sin in the sight of God.

Everyone who passes the boundary of the grave is searched far more strictly than you have been searched at an airport. God is the Great Searcher of hearts: from him nothing is hid; and in that kingdom, as in this, everyone shall give an account." Let us be careful as we end this week and start a new week to not carry any contraband with us.

"Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you." Ephesians 4:31-32

Remember Always, "God does all things well."
