Pilgrim Baptist Church: On Worldwide
Communion Sunday. the Rev. Massey spoke
from the topic, The Cursed and the
Blessed" The verses used were jeremiah
II 1913, Cursed be the man who depends
on man but blessed is he who depends
on God. The man who puts all de-
pendence upon man is as the desert scrub.
He who puts material things foremost will
live life which misses much. Yes,
the most important things. But the man
who depends on God is like the tree plant
ed by the waters, the heat does not bother
have no anxiety for he will continue to
yield fruit.
We were left with the admonitions that
most value must be placed on lasting things
:. the spiritual things. There is so much
that money cannot buy. A life spent
struggling for the material things only is a
wasted life. Cursed be the man who de-
ponds on man, but blessed is he who de-
ponds on God"
