What is our Duty?
Sep 27th, 2007 by Randy Toman
“The true happiness of man, in what it does not consist– not on the wisdom, pleasure, honors, and riches of this world – in what it does consist – the enjoyment and service of God.”
Commentary’s Ecclesiastes” Charles Bridges 1860
In God only and to His service lies mans service with true happiness and satisfying joy. It is this service that brings to God his deserved glory and our happiness. The book of Ecclesiastes will show and prove that fact. “All is vanity” without that service to God. It is his doing good to God’s glory that is mans duty and ultimately mans only true happiness.
With that said and I know a large percentage of people do not and will no believe those words. I still would like to make just this one point with regards to what is going on in Iraq and the Muslim Terrorist attacks.
If in fact it is our duty to do good for and to the glory of God, “WHY” is it one side is showing LOVE with attempts to help the people however feeble those attempts our and the other side is killing innocent people through their belief in a god and suicide bombings. Why is this? There is a god being serviced, which god do you think is being honored?
If the American citizen does not understand this and truly does not have any god but “SELF” then I’m afraid the side with the false god will win. I also say — if we can not find Jesus Christ the son of our father in Heaven, that father in Heaven will give us the religion of “Islam” and we will follow the teachings of Mohammed by force.
Think on that— “Is there not, in our hearts an awakened conviction of an EVIL course? ” Charles Bridges
Jeremiah 50:6
King James —- says this:
My people hath been lost sheep: their “SHEPARDS” have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place.
The next time you listen to a pastor or vote for a politician, think on that verse, and ask “WHY” should you be following that person.
