A Lesson

When everything is a crisis, nothing is a crisis. Or so it seems.  It's like the boy who cried wolf. People stop hearing even when the warning becomes real. This is a lesson that every preacher of the Gospel should learn.

Does God repeat Himself in the Bible? Sure He does. With a span of sometimes centuries between the times He spoke. When we read the bible we see themes and patterns emerging and we do well to heed those words. But let a preacher preach on the same subject or give the same warning time after time and soon, no one will hear that preacher anymore. Especially if nothing in life really changes.

Don't be the boy who cried wolf. Don't be the preacher who tries to light the same fire every time. Don't be the husband who makes the same promises or the wife who makes the same threats day after day.

It's he who endures to the end who will in the end be saved. Not him who runs the fastest of who climbs the highest. Endurance takes time. And patience. And wisdom.
