GLEANINGS FROM THE WORD

Encountering an extraordinary God in ordinary life

Issue # 245 August 30, 2001

Nooks and Crannies

 

Yesterday, the house inspector came to our home. He was working for the purchaser, and his job was to go through the house top to bottom and let  the purchaser know of any problems or potential problems this house might have.

He examined the house from the peak of the roof to the bottom recesses of the basement.

He looked at the furnace and checked the plumbing. He took the covers off of electrical outlets and checked the way they were wired. He used fancy technological gizmos to check moisture levels in the walls.

 There wasn’t a nook or cranny that he didn’t check out. The inspector was diligent, professional and thorough.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could have an inspector like that for everything in life? How many things would stand up to that kind of scrutiny?

One thing that will stand up, despite criticisms to the contrary, is our faith.

Ultimately only the Word and Holy Spirit can convict us, but for many people, they need a concrete foundation that the Bible is truth before they will heed it.

Encourage your skeptical friends to honestly investigate the truth of Scripture. The archeological, historical and documentary evidence are overwhelming. The ancillary anecdotal evidence of changed lives and societies is undeniable.

Challenge them to look into every dusty little nook and cranny with an open mind. Most skeptics, who honestly search for the truth, come to accept Christ as Lord, much to their surprise.

They soon end up saying something along the lines of the words of King David

Into your hands I commit my spirit;  redeem me, O LORD, the God of truth.                                                Psalm 31:5 NIV

He is the God of truth, His truth will stand up to examination.

Until next time, know that His Word is truth. He is the Way, Truth and Life. He is a big God who can handle our questions.

 God bless.

Kevin

Not sure about this Christianity stuff? Check it out for yourself. Read the Bible to see what Jesus claimed and taught, then check out the evidence for yourself. I think you’ll be surprised.
