Daily Thoughts

In the Book of Mormon I read that there is no other ways nor means whereby man can be saved excepted through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, who came to redeem the world.  Helaman 5: 9 "O remember, remember, my sons, the words which king Benjamin spake unto his people; yea, remember that there is no other way nor means whereby man can be saved, only through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, who shall come; yea, remember that he cometh to redeem the world."

In the Old Testament I read that the Lord rejected Saul as king because of his disobedience and his failure to keep the commandments.  1 Samuel 15: 10-11 "Then came the word of the Lord unto Samuel, saying, It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the Lord all night."

A verse with a thought booklet tells us that we cannot serve two masters.  We can't love the world and love the Lord at the same time.  We need to choose which we will serve.  Matthew 6:24 "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
