ARE YOU
LISTENING?
A “Peeping Tom” is one of the
most despised individuals of our
society today. For a man to slip
around peeping into windows, and
into the privacy of another’s home
is an almost unforgiveable sin to
our woy of thinking. And rightly
so. We can learn from the teach
ings of Jesus just how sinful such
an act can be. Now Jesus did not
use the term “peeping tom” but he
spoke against its practice many
times. His every teaching was that
we should treat others in the
same fashion that we wish to be
treated. Often he preached against
standing off and expecting more
from others than you are willing
to give or do yourself. In his day,
the Pharisees would stand “afar
off” and criticize him for some
teaching or some miracle.
Things are no different today.
In this community we have those
who are standing on the outside
of the church looking in, and all
that they can do is find fault with
the church and its members. Now,
for a person who is not a Christ
ian nor a church member to do
this is understandable. They do
not know what they are being crit
ical of. The ones who are doing
the most damage to God and to
His kingdom are those who are
members, and yet are standing off
and being critical. He Said, “They
bid you to observe and do; but do
not after their works for they say
and do not.” Inother words, their
lives and their tongues do not
proclaim the same message. They
are the people who talk about
praying but never pray. People
who say that tithing is the way a
Christian should contribute but
they never tithe. People who fol
low the devil all of their lives and
expect to go to heaven.
A “peeping tom” is a peril to
any community and should be
dealt with by the law. A religious
“peeping tom” is a peril to God’s
kingdom and will be dealt with
by God’s justice. God does not
want you on the outside of His
church looking in. He much pre
fers that you put your entire life
into his hands land allow Him to
set you free. “No man can serve
two masters.” You cannot do the
will of God on the outside of His
fellowship. You do not have to
join a church to be a Christian but
you will be a much better Christ
ian if you do. Instead of standing
off and being critical, why not
join in and be of service?
Are you listening?

Opening lead: Jack of spades.
The lead was won in the dummy
with king of spades. South then
sluffed the four of clubs and eight
of spades on the ace and king of
hearts. A small diamond led from
the board drew South’s ten and
West won with the singleton king.
West returned the ace of clubs
which South trumped in the closed
hand. South led trumps one round
and was left with the good ace
and queen of spades and the re
mainder of trumps, making the
contract.
COMMENT: South was not ag
gressive enough with the first re
sponse. When South finally jump
ed in the rebid it was too late to
force North to bid the slam. If
the slam had been bid. West would
possibly have led the ace of clubs;
then South would have had to play
for the drop of the diamond king.
