Satisfaction

talking about Life (Christ’s Life) in a Christian

Satisfaction

“I can’t get no…satis…faction.”  This was a popular song by the Rolling Stones back in 1965.  “Cause I try and I try and I try and I try” was the song’s mantra as the singers lament ALL the ways they have TRIED to get that elusive “satisfaction.”  Each thing they “tried” was of the world…not one mention of Jesus.  Whether it was an item, and individual, or some information…no satisfaction. 

My friend Michael Wells, in volume 2 (now available at ALMI) of My Weakness for His Strength, gives the most stunning revelation of the “disconnect” of so many as far as the spirit/soul/body trichotomy is concerned.  And how there is such little “satisfaction” in the life of many Christians.  The writing of Day 256 is marvelous!  Get this book, or write me for a recap of what Michael has said.

As stupid is...

An old movie favorite, Forrest Gump, came up with a popular quote: "Stupid is as stupid does."  With Hollywood being as humanistic as it is, that statement is appropriate for them.  They are not into the spirituality of things.  But (this is a holy "but"), Truth is: stupid does as stupid is.  The "is" always goes before the "does."
Example: a sinner is not a sinner because he sins.  a sinner sins because he is a sinner.  a pine tree is not a pine tree because it grows pine needles.  a pine tree grows pine needles because it is a pine tree.

It is a tragedy that the church in America has let most discussions (especially in business meetings)  revolve around the humanistic instead of the spiritual.

Holding On?

The word for "faithless" is apistos, "unbelieving," meaning "not trusting God to perform."  And one who doesn't trust God will not depend on God.  "Belief," pisteuo, creates dependence upon God. The one who lives in dependence upon God does not act in independence.  And one who is depending upon God does not "hold on to God," but rather is held onto by God!  A Believer who has been placed IN Christ...it is Christ Who holds the Believer firmly.  Well, amen!
