KILLER PLANTS

Reading: Luke 14:16-26
NATS: If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father, his mother, his wife, his children ... he can not be my disciple (Luke 14:26)

Some forest workers struggle to put out fires. Other workers battling for fast growing plants. Article in the Mercury News reported a team of volunteers struggled eliminate various plants that invade redwood forests in the Santa Cruz mountains. The workers say that many of them migrant species that are sold in stores eradicate the plant. Vines from Germany, for example, be a serious problem in California. Exotic house plants are fast growing and competing with native species that area. Poisonous vines that cover everything in its path and off. Plants that can "wrap" and destroy the tree.

With the thought of the damage that the plant, we are invited to understand something that is more important than saving trees. Jesus warned us that everything is competing with him to win the hearts we can turn off our spiritual lives. He said that natural love in the family can be dangerous and even hinder us to follow Him (Luke 14:16-26). 

God wants our love and loyalty to Him is not divided with the other.

If we treasure Christ above all things, we will learn to love our family with a deeper love and healthy. However, before we give absolute allegiance to Him, our love of family will grow in our hearts like fire or vines from Germany and destroy the forest.

Do not let anything compete with Christ - MRD II

THE MORE WE LOVE IN CHRIST,
MORE IN ANYWAY WE LOVE OTHERS
