I have had one of those weeks. It has flown by and I have hit lows and highs. Monday I was feeling low about preaching without spirit Sunday. I saw David Crowder and got spend time with brothers…and even better with my son Jacob. I was with Marie to the end. I preached a message with the spirit where some rededicated thier lives to Christ.
What was different from last week…this week I learned to depend on God in ways I never imagined. I found Christ in living and with the dieing. I learned how precious life is and how life without Christ means nothing. I love being a Christian, I love the fact I get to share Him with the world.
I went and visited Bill in the hospital tonight. He has followed Christ for 43 years and it shows. He had shoulder surgery and being well seasoned will have trouble adapting to life with one arm for the next few months. I shared the message I preached this morning and we started talking about the love of Jesus and how he takes care of us. I watched a tear roll down his cheek as he expressed through personal experience the Jesus he knew and loved.
I bring this up because afterwards I went to a book store and bought more books which will again get me in trouble. In the middle of the Christian shelves in the religion section of the store was a book called the “God Delusion”. It is a book wrote by an atheist and it was strategically place at eye level right in the middle of Christian living. It was also in the agnostic and atheist section…but some one who worked the section was making a point. At first it made me angry…and then it hit me how sad it is. How the person who did this thought they where helping people, by leading people to scientific enlightenment. But if they had seen the Jesus I know and have grown so close to this week…something to pray about.
