I’ve heard it said, “It’s not the mountain ahead that wears you out, It’s the grain of sand in your shoe”...
In life, often it’s the ‘LITTLE THINGS’ that make the difference between JOY and SADNESS...
MODERNATION has been cited by many as the root cause of the degradation of MORALITY in our current culture...MODERATION, on the other hand, has been preached and taught by THE CHURCH for nearly 2000 years as the CORE SOLUTION to JOYFUL LIVING...!!!
Perhaps taking the three letter word, S I N, out of our modern vocabulary can explain much of our dilemma...
SCIENCE, is yet another gift from GOD, not the other way around...If we are of the mindset that SCIENCE HAS ALL THE ANSWERS, but leave out the element of SIN & FAILURE, we are on the wrong track...!!!
SIMILARLY, If we are of the mindset that POLITICS OR GOVERNMENT has the answer to all of our ills, without regard to human nature and human error, especially S I N, we are on the wrong track, and history tells us we are doomed to fail...!!!
OUR GOD KNOWS EVERYTHING that SCIENCE HAS YET TO REVEAL OR DISCOVER...Because He created everything from NOTHING, including the laws of physics, mathematics, and gravity...
LET US start our new walk WITH HIM by first acknowledging the reality in the world of S I N, then identifying ourselves as S I N N E R S...THEN AND ONLY THEN can we move forward and SIMPLY SEEK HIM AND HIS PROMISE OF FORGIVENESS AND MERCY...!!!
WITH MIND AND HEART FOCUSED ON OUR LORD JESUS...HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND...!!!
P.S. IN MEMORIAM:
“Have the courage to have your wisdom regarded as stupidity. Be fools for Christ. And have the courage to suffer the contempt of the sophisticated world.”
