WE NEED TO HANG OUT
The solution to Thomas’ feelings of depression, hurt, and abandonment — and to us when we feel like that — is simply this: Surety comes most often in the fellowship of others! Thomas missed out the first time Jesus appeared because he wasn’t there to see Him!
WHEN THE NEED ARISES
The key to a “safe arrival” is being in the right boat, the one Jesus commands. Have you ever asked Him to be the Captain of your life? Maybe you have — but you’ve “jumped ship” out of fear or rebellion. He invites you this very minute to let Him once again steer your course.
DAD’S HEALING — AND SUBSEQUENT HOMEGOING
Nobody has all the answers because nobody knows the mind and will of God completely. But, the Lord does give us teaching on the subject, enough that we can confidently approach Him for healing and then leave the results in the hands and will of a loving and wise heavenly Father.
ON FINDING THE PERFECT CHURCH
Perhaps you too are a church “hopper-and-shopper”! Maybe God would have you simply stay put, at least for now? Since there is no perfect place out there, why not simply pick, plant, and participate? Oh, and by the way: The reason we (you and I) haven’t found a “sublime sanctuary” is simply this: We are there!
SURF’S UP!
Things aren’t always as they appear to be, at least on the surface. The “foundation”, the underwater world of the ocean, is stable and able to have its many parts perform their function without being thrown off, whacked out by what’s happening topside.
