Hello, this is pastor gary from first baptist church of laplata. This is a local interest story: Indian Head, MD, will be mentioned on national television next Tuesday night when the Latham Family competes on Family Feud. Two of the Latham family members are also members of the Potomac Heights Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad. I like Indian Head, MD, and the Indian Head Highway that connects Indian Head to the rest of the world is my second favorite highway. While I don’t watch game shows much, I can remember Family Feud from way back in the olden days with host Richard Dawson and his contestant kissing. Family Feud is a fun game show that pits families against each other to give answers and win money, but Jesus taught about real family feuds that would result from following Him. In Matthew 10:35-36, Jesus said, “For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against the mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.” Not only does faith in Christ cause divisions in families, but Jesus demands absolute and complete devotion from His followers, for the very next verse 37 states, “He that loveth father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me, and he that loveth son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.” By the way, believe it or not, my favorite highway is The Baltimore Washington Parkway.
