Directions????
Posted by Pastor Rich on August 15, 2010 under Pastors Blog |
It is so hard for men to humble themselves enough to stop and ask for directions. Men often identify a familiar landmark hoping that they have spotted the real thing so they don’t have to stop and ask for directions. Asking for directions is like admitting that we don’t know all that we think we do. Men were so glad when the GPS systems in cars came out so they could get directions without lowering our Machoness by admitting to our signicant others that we were really lost. Unfortunately many men today live under that same assumption spiritually. They don’t want to ask for directions to eternal life. They want to find it on their own or they figure “That Jesus Stuff is for other People, I don’t need it.” Reality is that someday all will bow and either admit they got directions from Jesus or they will wish they had… Deuteronomy 30:19 reads as follows: I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: The choice is up to us… God’s word gave us the simple directions that if we will confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in our heart that God raised him from the dead, we will be saved. Simple as that huh? Yes!
