A UNC b-ball player was
visiting a Yankee relative
in Boston over the Spring
Break.
He went to a large party
and met a pretty co-ed.
He was attempting to start
up a conversation with the
line, "Where do you go to
school?"
"Yale," she replied.
The UNC student took a big,
deep breath and shouted,
"WHERE DO YOU GO
TO SCHOOL?"
Why did the students flunk the
ReplyDeletefinal exam at the Magician's
School?
They were all trick questions.
Faith Found a Garden
ReplyDeleteI've learned a few things in the course of hardship
that are priceless, steadfast and true.
I've learned no matter how hard this life gets
the Lord won't forget about you.
I've learned that at times your spirit gets tired
and your faith can get low and depleted.
But the faithfulness of God never gets exhausted
and comes in to supply what is needed.
I've learned you can live through enormous crisis
that doesn't seem to have reason or rhyme.
But somehow and some way God turns them to riches
through His wisdom and passage of time.
I've learned that the deficits & shortages of life
were not meant to cause heartache or shame.
For they made me look up to God's well of provision
and trust in the strength of His name.
I've learned it's the hard times that teach us the most
about God and His character of old.
For it's during those seasons I clung to His Word
and every promise that He's ever told.
I've been refined in my heart and my mind
because He tendered me through difficult years.
And faith found a garden in the soil of my heart
that was watered by all of my tears.

This I recall to my mind,
Therefore I have hope.
Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
“ The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,
“ Therefore I hope in Him!”
Lamentations 3:21-24 NKJV

My friend Margaret had just been to a family gathering in the Midwest, and she saw many loved ones there, including her deputy sheriff nephew. Now, as she started heading home, her foot got, shall we say, a little heavy. Or at least that's what the officer who pulled her over seemed to think. As he turned to go back to his car with her license and registration in hand, Margaret said, "Do you know Deputy _________?" and she mentioned her nephew's name. The officer did know him. After a few minutes of record checking and paperwork in his squad car, the officer returned to Margaret's car. "I'm just going to give you a warning," he said, followed by, "I checked with your nephew."
ReplyDeleteNow we could discuss the appropriateness of Margaret's invoking her nephew's name. But one thing is very clear. There can be decisive power in a name; even power that delivers you from what you deserve. And there is no name with more decisive power in all the universe than the name of Jesus. His name accomplishes things that nothing else can accomplish.
In John 14:14, Jesus said, "You may ask for anything in My name, and I will do it." The name of Jesus opens heaven's resources to meet your deepest need - not just used as some hollow mantra, but as an expression of complete reliance on your living Lord. Acts 4:12 makes clear that "there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." It's only the name of Jesus that opens heaven to us sinners who could only have our sins forgiven by the Man who died for them. When we come to God, calling on the name of His Son, we don't get the awful judgment we deserve. Jesus took it for us.
And nowhere is the power of that name expressed more boldly than in our word for today from the Word of God in Philippians 2:9-10. "God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord." It is the name of Jesus that subdues all opposition, that intimidates, that paralyzes all the forces of hell.
That's the reason those who plotted the death of Jesus told His early followers to stop speaking what they called "the name." Hell has been trying to get Christians to stop saying the name that hell fears ever since. Now, maybe you've choked on that name, even though those who don't care about that name use it all the time. The old hymn writer said it pretty well, "Jesus! And shall it be a mortal man ashamed of Thee? Ashamed of Thee, whom angels praise, whose glories shine through endless days? Ashamed of Jesus, that dear Friend on whom my hopes of heaven depend? No; when I blush, be this my shame, that I no more revere His name."
Jesus: the name that opens heaven's resources to meet your every need, that makes heaven possible for you, that subdues every other being in the universe. How can we live ordinary, powerless lives? How can we surrender to hell and be ashamed to speak His name? And it may be that you have never called on that name of Jesus and asked Him to be your personal Rescuer from your personal sin. This could be your day to do that.
One day you will bow before Jesus. He will come then as judge. Today He offers himself to you as your personal Savior; your Rescuer. If you'll grab Him in total faith and say, "Jesus, I'm yours."
I want to invite you to go to our website, because a lot of people have found a lot of encouragement there in beginning a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Just go to YoursForLife.net. And I think you'll find there the information that will help you be sure you belong to Jesus Christ. The song writer said, "Kings and kingdoms will all pass away, but there is something about that Name!"
