July 8, 2007

Good morning! I see signs that the wheat harvest is underway in these parts. No doubt the hot, dry weather we have seen recently has helped the harvest. The wind has changed directions though and we may see some rain at some point during the coming week. The arrival of harvest is always a milestone each year, no matter what crop and what time of the year it occurs. Jesus used the metaphor of harvest to let us know that the end time is near. It may seem that every year I speak of how close the end times are as yet another harvest arrives. This has happened with or without me for the past 19 centuries and then some. None of us knows when the end will arrive and the harvest will be finished forever, and so we continue in hope and faith while the world scoffs. Today I pray for those who believe in their own intellect, power, strength, or luck. Belief in such things will not save them. No governement, minister, priest, friend, or relative can save anyone, only Jesus saves and he is available to anyone and everyone. Praise God for our Savior!
