The bible verse below is about black Friday and other things.
Jesus might have said cut your hand off, but that was not his idea, but the old english idea, greek, or jewish idea. Please do not do this just because a verse says it. Try to get a stronger relationship with your Heavenly Father and a stronger faith. Back in the day a phrase like that would be said, but they did not mean to physically do the act.
In Matthew 5:29-30, Jesus said that if our hand causes us to sin, we should cut it off. The problem (and the point) is that it is not your hand that causes you to sin. Neither is it your stuff. It’s your heart.
The History of Black Friday
The first evidence of the phrase Black Friday applied to the day after Thanksgiving in a shopping context suggests that the term originated in Philadelphia. Officers used the word “black” to describe the chaotic crowds of hundreds of thousands of people crammed each other for shopping on the Friday after Thanksgiving and causing traffic jams on the streets, sidewalks.
Throwing away all your nice things and refusing to go shopping this season will not make you a holier person than those who don’t. Only God’s Spirit can make you that.
The solution to the rampant materialism that rears its head in our culture during this season is not to do away with shopping, sales, or Christmas presents. The solution is to love Christ more deeply.
Please be very careful on Black Friday when shopping that no one crushes you, or steals something or does any harm to you. Try to also get closer to Our Heavenly Father this holiday season. We encourage you to do this. We have taught a lot of lessons on how to get close to your Heavenly Father. Please remember them and do as much as you plan to do and read your bible this holiday season too.
Closing Prayer; Heavenly Father we pray on this black Friday it is not as crazy as in the previous years have been. Instead of them shopping we pray that they have already done the shopping and that they spend more time getting to know you and getting stronger within you. In Jesus name Amen.
Prayer of Salvation to become a child of Our Heavenly Father. Lord Jesus, I confess my sins and ask for your forgiveness. Please come into my heart as my Lord and Savior. Take complete control of my life and help me to walk in Your footsteps daily by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for saving me and I know you will answer my prayers. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
