The problem with expository preaching is it seems that the only thing God can do is save our souls. He used to heal. He used to work. But now, once you are saved, you are on your own.
There are things worse than dying. We are so afraid of dying. We try so hard not to die or to let out loved ones die. We have to have special legal papers signed to prevent heroic measures being taken. And then they don't want to obey your wishes.
By the time you need a medical alert device it's too late. It's like old cell phones. We carry them for emergencies, but trouble happens when you are out of service range.
As we get older, our list of friends gets shorter.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. It's time for God to act!
Finding out that people are praying for you is very humbling. That people far away would remember you and take time to mention you to the Lord is wonderful. I do not deserve it, but it helps.
Do pastors preach about the early days because they are not sure about what is next or what will God do looking forward? We need our pastors to conserve our gains, but to never lose sight of what is down the road in front of us. To see what eye has not seen. To think about what men never think about.
That's all for now. God bless us, everyone!
