Patrikin – Kinship through The Father

It’s a little game the world plays:

• Workers play it — “I didn’t because [fill in blank]. (“I’ve been sick this week”, “My wife had surgery”, “My truck was stolen”).
• Job recruiters play it — “You’re just what we are looking for, I’ll call you next week.”
• Congress plays it — “I didn’t send those pictures, my Facebook account was hacked.”
• Bosses play it — “Don’t worry, we aren’t making any staffing changes.”
• Children play it — “The dog ate my homework.”
• Parents play it — “Not today, but tomorrow, I promise!”

We ought to be more mature; the stories would sometimes be laughable if the character it showed wasn’t so sad ( Do they think I have an “I am Stupid!” sign across my forehead?! ). — it’s more serious than we want to think. The Bible says it’s not just the murders and whoremongers going to hell.

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. – Revelation 21:8

Don’t play the game! Honor Christ!
