>A Good, Healthy, Fear of God…

May 6, 2010 by Fritz

>

“That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.” – 1st Thessalonians 4:6 (KJV)

Paul, listing what following Christ looks like, makes an important and overlooked statement that God still avenges wrong, even among his children.

Accepting Christ doesn’t mean that, if you cheat, you won’t suffer the consequences. A good, healthy, fear of God is a good thing, and should never be out of style.

“Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.” – 1st Peter 2:17 (KJV)

Why Men Don’t Talk…

May 5, 2010 by Fritz

Women say, “Why don’t you talk to me anymore? I wish you’d tell me what’s going on with you!” so I start talking (like now) and they say, “How can you say that?” This is our dilemma.

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

May 4, 2010 by Fritz

“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.
