Jim DeMint Leads Conservative Score Card - for Monday's Just A Minute Radio 110829

Well… Do you think this is the change we’ve all been waiting for?

 

All weekend folks have been checking their TV’s and radios… and if they live on the eastern seaboard above the middle of North Carolina – they’ve been looking out to see if the water’s rising or trees are blowing over.

 

Warned about tornadoes that are often spun off by BIG storms… they’ve been wondering.  People who have ‘ridden out’ storms like this (they think) begin to wonder about midnight at high tide. It’s a hard call. I had a lot of folks wondering if the storm was going to get stronger or weaker. I suppose we all stand on the brink. Wondering if we made the right decision after all.

 

Funny thing… we have that same kind of anxiety when we hear it’s just going to be a ‘light dusting’ and about midnight we measure with a ruler and see that five inches has already fallen and the wind’s coming up and we wonder how much will be there at sunrise. Weather is *always* a wonder – wonder if we’ve guessed  right. (J) Next day when the snow blower stalls for the fifth time and we’ve lost power *again* and it doesn’t act like it’s coming back on… well… we wonder… wonder if we’ve made the right call.

 

I guess that too is the reason so many people wonder if they’ve made the right call about moving from life… to…well…what? 

 

You know the best thing to do if you’re thinking like that is to get down the Bible if you’ve not been reading it lately… and start in again.  You know what… you CAN find out what God wants you to know – IF – you seek HIM with all your heart. The scriptures are there for the knowing. I’m not saying I know it all…but I do know enough about the veracity of the Bible to know it’s incapable of being a fake.  Now there are people who will try to make it a fake… I can name a half dozen or so. 

 

But there are far more who know it can’t possibly be the work of man.  And the totality of the evidence is pretty evident. BUT you’ve heard all that before.

OK… I’ll leave you to your guesses and I’ll stick to the things that are self evident about the Bible and those who espouse it.


I’m trying to think of something new to say to you… but it’s late… ask me tomorrow. (

Cordially, IN HIM
