God Is!!
I have been listening lately to radio evangelists
as they discuss certain matters of interest to
the religious community. To hear them talk,
you would think that everything is bad, nothing
is good and that Christians had better brace
themselves against the tyranny that is about to
come upon all those who profess faith in Jesus
Christ. All of what they are saying, may be true
(I'm not convinced yet) but more importantly,
they are too often leaving the impression that
the God we serve is impotent, weak, and
insensitive.
That, is what infuriates
me. The God I serve said, "Let there
be light" and it happened. He
separated the land from water and brought into
existence every living creature. Since God
created the world, is there any thing He cannot
do? Can He not raise up political powers
and remove them as Daniel said in Daniel 2?
Can He not elevate kingdoms for His purpose and
take them down? Our God, as powerful as He is, is
also sensitive to those who are hurting and
finding life difficult to face. Jesus
showed this God when He came to our world (John
1:18). I think it is time to start focusing
on the power of God rather than the weaknesses of
humanity and the sinfulness of our society.
Come see us Sunday.
