He is enough…

Posted in Christ, Faith, tagged on May 9, 2010| Leave a Comment »

“There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.”– Psalms 46:4-5 (KJV)

Our clubs, associations, methods, and everything we look to for affirmation, guidance, and protection all break down leaving us with simple faith in the living God Who is above all principalities and powers; the One who is true to His word, the Bible, and faithful to His children individually.

And He is enough.

Gospel Lesson from a GPS (yes, the device in my car)

Posted in Belief, Bible, Experience, Faith, tagged on May 4, 2010| Leave a Comment »

“All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching the truth, rebuking error, correcting faults, and giving instruction for right living, so that the person who serves God may be fully qualified and equipped to do every kind of good deed.” – 2nd Timothy 3:16-17 (GNB)

Pete (my son) and I were headed for the golf course when he asked why the GPS speed did not match my speedometer.

We had a physics lesson and a Gospel lesson at the same time.

My speedometer measures velocity by calculating wheel rotation. If the tires are not as expected the calculation could be off by several miles per hour.

The GPS, however, uses satellites, calculating speed by tracking my global position, and it is spot-on as long as it can find the satellites.

I use my GPS not only to know where I am but to judge the accuracy of my speedometer.

The Gospel lesson?

God made us with a conscience we use to judge our actions, but it can be off because of personal desires, misunderstandings, and just bad judgment. That’s why God has, also, given us the Bible as external source of truth that is always spot-on.

We use the Bible to not only know where we are headed but to judge the accuracy of conscience.

"Those that know…"

FRANKS

In Texas about half way between Houston and San Antonio in a little town called Schulenburg is a diner, Frank’s. Just before you get there used to be a billboard that simply read, “Those that know stop at Frank’s”.

It was the only advertisement they needed; they have good food and reasonable prices, and a lot of people know it, mostly by experience and word of mouth.

It’s that way with Jesus; those that know Him know to trust him. He is not a dead religion, He is the Living Savior.

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. – Psalm 9:10 (KJV)
