another fact about crises is they are
impartial. they happen to both good
people and to bad people. crises happen
to believers as well as unbelievers.
matthew 5.45 (niv), HE sends the rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. that means CHRISTians are not
exempt.
the only thing CHRISTianity exempts you
from is hell. you’re going to have the
same problems everybody else does, you just have a different source of power to
deal with them. you will experience as a
believer, defeats, depression, discouragements, disappointments, diseases. the only thing CHRISTianity exempts you from
is hell. what GOD gives you is the power
to overcome those problems.
some people imply that if you get saved,
if you give your life to CHRIST, you’ll never have any more problems. that’s just not true. you’re living proof of that! so am i.
no matter how committed you are you’re going to have problems.
so might say, “if you're in a crisis,
you must have disobeyed GOD.” that’s not
necessarily true either. it is true that
a lot of problems we bring on ourselves when we disobey GOD. but some problems come in spite of the fact
that you’re doing the right thing. JESUS
told the disciples to get into the boat and they obeyed and they sailed right
into a storm. they were obedient and
experienced a crisis.
just a thought from the front porch..
