Divine Mentor: Which Kingdom do you Serve? by Debbie McGrath

As I was reading John 19, it was so obvious that Pilate made all the wrong decisions that day. Just like Pilate, we have many decisions to make. Our choices we make, tell which kingdom we serve.  The scriptures in John 19 reveal that Pilate chose to serve the Kingdom of Earth - he went for popularity, power, security of his job and  short-term comfort.  He tried to seek a middle way, a scheme in which he could serve both or neither without having to chose, but there is none.  

Just like Pilate we choose who we will serve!
Which kingdom do you serve?

Kingdom of the Earth           OR        Kingdom of Heaven

* Public Popularity                           Personal Integrity
*Way of the World                           God's Way
*Works                                          Faith/Trust
*Pride                                            Grace
*Power                                          Truth
*Riches on Earth                             Treasures in Heaven
*Short-term comfort                        Eternal Rewards
*Earthly Success                             Spiritual Purity 
*Tangible Rewards                          Intangible and delayed rewards

Each day, we must choose which kingdom we will serve.
