Who to Believe In - January 8, 2010

The sun had yet to gleam across the frozen tundra as he sat down to write. Fingers encased in little cubes of ice, the keyboard failed to respond with the correct letters as the plastic keys turned brittle and snapped. Just how badly the typing would have gone had he been outside the house we may never know. :-) It's Friday and that means the first installment from How Cold is It? by Roger Welsch and Paul Fell.

It was so cold... I was stuck between the barn and the house... because my shadow had froze to the ground! (1996, J&L Lee Co., Lincoln, NE)

I think the sun is even late today; they probably had trouble getting it started this morning. I saw an article yesterday saying that scientists say that a cold snap doesn't disprove the Global Warming theory. You mean not even when it seems the entire northern hemisphere is in the cold snap? Ah well, ya gotta let 'em go on with their theories; look how long the evolution thing has gone on! At one time leeching was all the rage in medical treatment too.

We grow, we learn, we sometimes find out that not all of the things we were taught in school were correct. We live, we learn, we sometimes find out that the prevailing winds in science are not blowing from the right direction. We get older, we think reports are accurate, truthful, and they usually are. But with so much news in the world today, who decides what gets printed? We often don't think of the endless confusion in the world today as darkness. But what if that ray of light and hope shining out from Bethlehem was to be just the thing to cut through the business and clutter of our lives today? Those living in darkness have indeed seen a great light, and just as the Bible tells us, many have turned away from that light.

You have not turned away; what does that light show you? Does it show that Jesus told us that all this noise, clutter, and rushing about would come just before the end? Do you see where Jesus tells of wars and rumors of war just before the end? What about the part where Jesus gives us His peace? Do you suppose Jesus gave us His peace because He knew that we would be in dire need of it at this time? In all this confusion swirling about us in the world, we may not know what to believe. However, we do know who to believe in!

Praise God for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
