NO MORE SOFTBALLS -- Just A Minute Radio for Monday, March 30th, 2009

            Hello again –

 

            It’s been a rough week weatherwise for a lot of folks. Some locally, some far away. I saw several big trees keeled over by the wind over the weekend. But the worst property damage I observed was a fence and even it didn’t look too badly damaged. I believe the Lord has been looking out for us.

 

            When it comes to the USA – we’re going to need some looking out after.  Which is a somewhat awkward way to put it I think. My thought is the evidence of America’s moral decay and the inevitable squaring up of those records is bound to come. A righteous God will not allow sin to go unpunished or unpaid for forever. Thankfully the Scripture says “His mercy endureth for ever… “ and it says that over and over. But one must take into account the whole counsel of God. And that includes forgiveness – but it also includes repentance – a recognition we’re sinners, on the wrong road and in need of reconciliation to God… and calling upon His grace.

 

            Good works won’t do it… Doing the best we can won’t do it… the only effective way to be rid of our sin is to call on the Lord Jesus Christ who loved us and gave Himself for us. I’ve heard it over and over… and in America you’ve heard it often too… even if you havn’t paid attention. It’s the most important matter you’ll ever attend to – the welfare of your immortal soul.

 

            Here in Greenville, springtime is Bible Conference time at BJU… My wife and I met at Bob Jones… and I asked her to marry me during the Bible conference of 1951… it was a long engagement… but we made it to May of 1953… and here we are almost 56 years, 5 children, 13 grandchildren, 5.3 great grandchildren – it’s a wonderful life so far. But I know I may be talking to someone whose path has not been easy – and who is experiencing right now problems and possibly pain.

 

            There is hope… there is help. I’ll be glad to help if I can and my e-mail address is right at the bottom of this e-blog. I just felt today – there’s possibly someone who needs a word of encouragement and understanding. There are folks out there who want to help. Just ask God to lead you to them.

 

            Well… that’s all for today. I’ll look for you on Wednesday.

 

            Cordially, IN HIM

 

            Jack

“JUST A MINUTE”

NO MORE SOFTBALLS

JUST A MINUTE – George Will, token conservative at the Washington Post leans toward using 75cent words. He set out to make a case against EESA

E-E-S-A. You wouldn’t find two percent of passionate argumenters who could give the meaning of EESA. It’s the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 which Congress passed without reading.

          Will, says it erases the separation of powers between Congress and the Executive by letting lawmakers have a say in how the $787 billion is spent. Then he kicked the hornet’s nest at Town Hall Daily where his column is posted and got over 100 comments divided between those who say it’s too late to criticize Obama after you invited the President-Elect over to dine at your posh Georgetown digs – which ignited a mini-war between the elite press corps and the social climbers.

          A Tennessee correspondent called him hypocrite-in-chief: a Steward on the Titanic more concerned about a leaky faucet than the sinking ship. Others praised his Constitutional erudition. From all over the map they came – but one writer said rather than join the tea party he’s more inclined to join “the Charge of the Light Brigade.”  Only problem… they lost.
