New Testament 66

New Testament 66 2015-02-06T15:19:52-07:00

I missed posting a New Testament comment on Wednesday, I believe, so (since my goal has been, and continues to be, to post at least a few lines of commentary daily) I’m compensating by posting two today.  This is the second.

Matthew 6:24

Compare Luke 16:13

 

The admonition against attempting to serve two masters seems obviously, undeniably true, based on personal and universal human experience.

 

I can’t help but think, in this context, of the title of Søren Kierkegaard’s little devotional classic, Purity of Heart is to Will One Thing.

 

And also of the comment of James 1:8:  “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”
