Have you thought about your soul?

By Sis. Shirley Tarpley, NDG Religion Editor

            Have you ever stopped to wonder what this life is all about?  Why you’re here and where you’re going when your lease on time runs out?  May you’ve been far too busy trying hard to reach your goal; would you let me ask you kindly; “Have you thought about your soul?”

            You may reach the highest portals, and your dreams may all come true; wealth and fame may be your portion, and success may shine on you.  All your friends may sing your praises, not a care on you may roll; what about the great tomorrow, “Have you thought about your soul?”

            Don’t forget your days are numbered, though you may be riding high, but like all of us poor mortals, someday you’ll just up and die.  Your success, your fame and your glory won’t be worth the bell they toll; let me ask just one question, “Have you thought about your soul?”

            If you’ve never thought it over, spend a little time today, there is nothing more important that will ever come your way, than the joy of sins forgiven, and to know you’ve been made whole, in the name of Christ the Savior, “Have you thought about your soul?”

Things to Ponder:   The best vitamin for a Christian is B-1 (Be One.)  We are operating under the same management for over 1900 years.  Plenty of “Soul” food served here; come in and try some for your life.   Give a liberal offering if you love Jesus – Anyone can honk and most will.

            Don’t wait for the hearse to bring you to church and thank God that you can walk in on your own power.  Life has many choices.  Eternity has only two – what’s your choice?

            The most destructive habit is worry, because worry is interest paid on trouble before it is due.  Don’t be guilty of paying high interest rates when you don’t have to.

            Prevent truth decay; brush up on your Bible, the Word of God.  It’s hard to stumble when you are down on your knees.  Never give the devil a ride; he will always want to drive.

            Can’t sleep?  Peace of Mind is the most effective sleeping pill.  Or try counting your blessings and thank God for what he has done for you.

Forbidden fruit creates many jams; however, if you don’t want to reap the fruit of sin, stay out of the devil’s vineyard.

            Don’t let the littleness of others bring out the littleness in you.  The deadliest weapon is the tongue.  It is true, God answers knee-mail, try Him.

            The greatest advice is, “Try Jesus; if you don’t like Him, the devil will always take you back.”
