Are we using our gifts?

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. — Mark 10:25

It is so easy to think of ourselves as average people who are not rich. But bottom line, if we have access to a computer to read e-mail, we're richer than most of the world. Let's not let our "stuff" get in the way of our faith and compassion. God wants to help our camels get through the eye of the needle. He will, if we remember that what we have is a gift from him, and that he intends for us to use it to bless others and honor him.

God, Revelation Of …

Isaiah 59:2
But your iniquities have separated
 you from your God;
 your sins have hidden his face from you,
 so that he will not hear.

Deuteronomy 31:18
And I will certainly hide my face in that day because of all their wickedness in turning to other gods.

Commands - Repent 

Matthew 3:2
and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven  has come near.”
Matthew 4:17
From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven  has come near.”

Questions in 1st Corinthians  

10:18
Consider the people of Israel: Do not those who eat the sacrifices  participate in the altar?

10:19
Do I mean then that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?
