	What do you think really matters in life? Remember the story about the up-and-coming entrepreneur who was opening the door of his sleek new Jaguar when a truck roared by, hit it, and ripped it off its hinges. The police arrived at the scene quickly and found the man jumping up and down in the street. He was shrieking to anyone who would listen about the horrible damage done to his precious automobile. "You wheeler-dealers are all so materialistic!" began the investigating officer, shaking his head in bewilderment. "You make me sick." "What's your problem?" the driver snapped. "You're so worried about your precious Jag," said the cop, "that you appear not to have noticed that your left arm was ripped off!" "Oh, no!" bellowed the guy as he looked down at the grisly stump where his arm had been a few minutes before. "Where's my Rolex?" When someone is told that he or she has cancer and only a few months to live, that person can tell you what really matters. You will think about the people who are most important to you. You will think about what happens after you have taken your last breath. Where will you spend eternity? We must major on the things that really matter!

A railway gatekeeper, who one cold night required every passenger to show his ticket
before passing through to the train, and was rewarded with considerable grumbling and protesting,
was told: "You are a very unpopular man tonight."

"I only care to be popular with one man," was the reply, "and that is the superintendent."
He might have pleased the passengers, disobeyed orders, and lost his position.
He was too wise for that; his business was to please one man -- the man who hired him, gave him his orders,
and rewarded him for faithfulness, and who would discharge him for disobedience.

The servant of Christ has many opportunities to make himself unpopular.
There are multitudes who would be glad to have him relax the strictness of his rules.
If he is their servant, they demand that he should consult their wishes.

But if he serves them, he cannot serve the Lord. "No man can serve two masters."
He who tries to be popular with the world, will lose his popularity with the Lord.
He will make friends, but he will lose the one Friend who is above all others.
He will win plaudits, but he will not hear the gracious words: "Well done!"
