I Kings 21:1-4 Don’t Sell Out May 21st 2001

1  ¶And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

2  And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.

3  And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.

4  And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.

Some things ought not to be for sale:

  1. Family: mine and yours

  2. Finances: what we give and what we earn (how we earn it, etc.)

  3. Friends: point them to the Saviour

  4. Fellowship: godly, in the right context.

  5. Fundamentals: Bible, Blood, Baptism, Second Coming, Virgin Birth...

  6. Fire: Fiery preaching and a fiery Hell.

  7. Fashion: not the worlds, in what fashion would the Lord have us dress?
