James Bond. ( 1 John 2 v 15 - 17 )

A man I know was having a bit of refreshment after he had taken the service at a local church,he was talking to some elderly people,and they mentioned,in a complimentary way as regards his dress sense.But what caused my friend to be amused was the remark by one elderly lady, who said he was like James Bond, I can assure you my friend is far from being James Bond.He found himself saying to himself that lady needs to go to Spec Savers, and that wallpaper  covers a lot of cracks.The Bible says that man looks on the outward appearance,the rich and wealthy  are often portrayed in their fabulous homes,with their fabulous cars ,giving the world a picture that they have made it and,are to be admired.But mankind no matter how they are dressed up,are far from perfect, the Bible speaks of the pride of life ,( 1 John 2 v 16 ).In the end the  James Bonds will loose their teeth ,their hair ,and possible end up in an old persons home. and then into the grave As a Christian we must not be fooled by worldly ideas , what really counts is that we know Christ as our Saviour,and  that we love God,and others more than ourselves.
