Midnight Musings

Have you ever wondered how hard it would be to meet a famous person?

This past Sunday I was at a church where Dr. Woodrow Kroll of Back to the Bible was the special speaker, and I figured that it would be relatively easy to go up and shake his hand, and it got me thinking about other people.

I wonder how difficult it would be to actually meet the President of the United States.  I mean, apart from being a part of his staff, how easy or difficult is it to actually shake the man’s hand or get close enough to say ‘”Hi.”

What do you think?  Does it just require determination?

If God is a part of your life, then you have to ask yourself, how much of my life is His?  You see, He will not rest until He makes you into the image of His dear Son.  He wants to be the Lord of your life.

That means that there are two different people that are fighting over your heart—you and God.  I think you know who will win!

When you ask the question, “Do You Love Me?” you immediately realize that this is a question directed at the heart.  What you may not realize is that it’s always been about the heart—from the beginning of time.

You see, throughout the Bible, God has always been concerned about our heart attitude toward Him.

If you were to pick the hardest Bible passages, what would you pick?

A recent post by Ann Althouse suggested her Top 10 Worst Bible Passages.  A lot of the problems that people have with these passages has to do with context and an understanding of the times.

For example:

2. "Go, now, attack Amalek, and deal with him and all that he has under the ban. Do not spare him, but kill men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and asses." (1 Samuel 15:3)

This seems harsh, except it is in God’s hand when any should die, and they had been warned and God had shown mercy.  It was many generations after they had been told to change that they were judged.  I can see why we believe that killing everything is harsh, but it was a whole lot more efficient than the tactics we have today.  Just saying.
