Jesus tells a parable in Matthew 22 and in verse 8 he says this in that parable.
Then he said to his slaves, the wedding is ready, but those who were invited were
not worthy. In this parable, not worthy seems to be about making excuses, about
not coming when it's ready. He prepared the feast and they declined to attend. If
you have an excuse, you can be excused, but it will mean you are not going to
make it in. Ultimately, there will be no more room even for repentance because he
said, we prepared the feast, the wedding is ready, but those who were invited were
not worthy and that's because they made excuses. So I would say today, start
thinking of yourself and say, hey, am I making excuses to not do the things that
God would have me to do? Have I listened to the persuasions of the
world to get me to do things that the world wants me to do instead of what God
wants me to do? Maybe need to turn the TV off and spend some time in the Word of
God or get on RightNow Media, which you can get a free subscription through the
live station, get on RightNow Media and listen to Bible studies. Watch God-
friendly family entertainment with your children if you have them or even for
yourself. I like a lot of kids shows that are godly. So no more excuses, let's be
bound worthy. God bless you today. I want to encourage you to go on our website, check out
some things that are going on. In particular, I want to mention Camp You
Can. If you know any young boys, any young men between the ages of 9 and 16
years old who would like to go to Camp You Can, we currently have totally free
Camp You Can attendance. It's July 31st through August 3rd, so it's before they go
back to school. It's just four days and three nights. We'll provide
transportation to get food and giant swimming pool and pro athletes to talk
to them about becoming a man of it.
