Break Those Laws

 












It seems that in our society today, there is such a push to redefine laws.   

Murder is wrong, but abortion is okay.

It seems as though people, in general, want to make the laws say what they would like it to say.

It can be very frustrating. 

In all of the ado about defining laws and making other things okay that are not okay,

I am happy to report that there are still ten laws that God wrote.

They can not be changed or rewritten.

God gave us ten moral laws that can never be changed.  

They are from old and yet we all have problems just following those ten laws.

We can try to adjust them or make his laws say what we want,

but we can't.

No matter how we try to change them, they are as solid as the physical laws like gravity.  

Physical laws cannot be easily altered without consequences.  

If I decide that I do not want to obey gravity and jump from a ten-story building,

Gravity will show up and remind me that it is still the law unless another law steps in,

that is the law of grace and mercy.  

When grace is applied, sin is ruled by the grace of our beloved Lord.

So as we look at society with no moral absolutes, it is good to remember, 

the right will always be right and sin will always be sin.  

It does not depend on us or our opinion.

God has spoken

Live Fearlessly

                                   As I was driving home today, I passed a person walking on the side of the    road.  Since it was cold, and snowy, I thought I should stop and offer the person a ride.  As I drove on by, I was irritated with myself for not stopping.  I could have and should have but I didn't. Why?  I was scared! Maybe that wouldn't bother you, but I'm willing to bet there are things that make you afraid.  It may be snakes or spiders that send the ticker into  overdrive.  Or maybe it's your job and finances that keep you up at night when you should be resting.  Then again perhaps it's relationships that consume your thoughts and energy.  As followers of God, we know that we are told not to be afraid.  Yet we often are afraid despite everything we know.   As I was driving away from a misse...

Tragedy: A Christian Response

I want to start by telling you a story.  We were new parents.  When Our oldest, a son, was about eighteen to twenty months we had another baby, a girl with brown hair and huge eyes.   One day as I went to feed her, my son who may have been two at the time wandered off to another part of the house.  The next thing I heard was a thud.  I grabbed my baby girl and ran to see what happened.  There was my son with a table on top of him.  He had pulled it over on himself and more blood than I had ever seen was running all over.   We put him in the car and dashed for the ER.  It was not a fun trip. He had a skull fracture and many stitches.  Fast forward about fourteen or fifteen years, I’m at a stop light and watch my youngest daughter about ten start across a street on a bike start across a street just as a truck comes around a corner into the path of the bike.  She hit the side of the truck and bounced onto the road....

Thank you God for Leading us

Thank you God for how you lead us. Like a shepherd leading his sheep. Sometimes through the words you spoke in the Bible, your written word. at other times, it was the wise words from friends,  coworkers,or neighbors spoken at just the right time. Still other times it was a gentle tug,   a whisper to our heart to move  in one direction or another;  intuition or a sixth sense that one   way or another was right or wrong    Yet, when I listened and obeyed   I found the way was clear, distinct and easy to follow. You never leave us to guess which way to go.                                                                                                      ...
