SPINNING WHEELS

   On the television show, Wheel of Fortune, contestants seek to strike it rich without an investment of their own.
   The television show, The Price is Right, also features a wheel where  contestants seek to strike it rich without an investment of their own.
   Meanwhile, at the roulette wheel in casinos, gamblers put it all on the line as they hope for Lucky Seven, or No. 9.
   In the world in which we live, the spinning wheels go round and round as people seek to strike it rich without an investment of their own.
   People, people everywhere blow in their hands and cross their hearts as they wish for a place called heaven with a thing called luck.
   As people spin the wheels and roll the dice, they also gamble---with their own souls.

   Jesus said,
       "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"  (Mark 8: 36-37)

   A kiss for luck, a rabbit's foot, a four-leaf clover, and a knock on wood are the words we hear from people, people everywhere as they willing risk it all as if they have no sin at all.

      "But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:  in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them."  (2nd Corinthians 4: 3-4)

     "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD:  though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."  (Isaiah 1: 18)

     "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;"  (Hebrews 2: 3)

     Do you remember the words of the Lord to a man, who had climbed up in a sycamore tree?

      "Zaccheus, make haste, and come down; for to-day I must abide at thy house."  (Luke 19: 5)

   Therefore, come down  from the spinning wheels,
                 and be saved by Christ today!
