12/16 Thursday thoughts

There are only two great forces in the world today; they are love and selfishness.

Every sin that a believer commits begins in selfishness. Selfishness may lead him into a host of different kinds of sin, but there is only one basic sin, and that is selfishness.

Someone has said that the "I, my, me and mine" are the four highways into the realm of broken fellowship.

Sin then, for the believer, is reverting to the practices of the former life. It is a denial of the dominion of love. It is seeking to find satisfaction in the realm of selfishness.

Selfishness causes all of the misery and heartache in our homes.

The cure for broken fellowship is the study of the Word and the practice of the Word, the living of the Word, and the "doing of the Word." (to be continued)
