My Parcel's Status
By John Kerr
I get emails on a pretty regular basis informing me to check on my parcel. They couldn’t deliver it because the address was not complete. I know that. The address was not complete because the address was non existent. I didn’t order anything from them. They want me to send them my complete address so they can deliver it. I’m not sure what else they want because I delete these right away. You can be sure they want additional information too, perhaps a credit card number or some kind of information to gain access to my bank account. It is a trap – an electronic trap. The parcel is the bait.
I get other emails on a regular basis from at least three companies wanting me to claim my free gift from them because I am such a good customer. A complete tool set, a roadside emergency kit, and clothing are used as bait in these traps. I delete them right away. I know that some people fall for these traps sometimes or they would not waste their time and money sending them out.
Paul wrote to Timothy about one of Satan’s many traps, that of chasing after riches. I Timothy 6: 6But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
The good news, Paul writes; II Timothy 2: 22Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. 24And the Lord’s servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. 25Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, 26and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.
