" Urgency & Redemption " .......# 54

My son & I are HUGE Game Day fans.....can't wait for college football to start ! But that is a minor issue today.

There has been a tragic loss @ Sullivan South High School. Senior Jake Logue passed away during a game Friday night w/ Knox. West.

I didn't know Jake nor do I know his family , although we have had two that graduated from SSHS.

The outpouring of the community is overflowing.....as well as I am sure , questions from all kinds of folks that have been touched by this tragic event.

I am not here to answer questions......I feel heavy hearted like most of you..........but obviously Jake impacted many lives.......he spread the Gospel.


I am here to tell you what I do know is true:
That Jesus Christ is Lord of ALL.....He wants to save you from an eternity seperated from Him. He wants you to spend eternity w/ Him. There are only two choices......

Lee Corso says it best perhaps: "A sense of urgency & redemption"..............

But you must not forget dear friends, that a day is like a thousand years to the Lord & a thousand years is like a day. The Lord isn't really being slow about his promise to return as some people think . No, He is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to perish , so He is giving more time for everyone to repent.

2 Peter 3:8-9

" The " Genuine Article

I remember ( barely ) , my high school days & sporting a pair of Levi's 501's the Genuine Article as the ads used to say. Nothing could compare to the fit & durability of the ol' 501's.

Makes me ask the question: What happened to the "genuiness" of people today ? We live in a world of quick fixes for this & short cuts for that & surgery to fix Lord knows what all......is anything genuine anymore ?

I really am enjoying the new car ads.....since the economy has slowed , the car dealers have scrapped "the dog & pony" show ads for ones of sincerity , in which the music is slower & more mellow & they promise reward cards & as always they have your best interest @ heart ! Whatever !

What about our beloved TV evangelists ( not all , by any means ! ) that promise you your destiny for "sewing your faith seed" & mailing in for a prayer cloth for a small offering of course ?

Furthermore , how about the "Fairy Tales" that our beloved government & elected officials promise us ??? Give me a break..................

Are ya' just sick & tired of "plastic-isity" ( new word !) ?? Lookin' for the real deal , something authentic , The Genuine Article ??

What about Jesus ....the Original ,who was & is & forever shall be ?? He is the real deal , the 501 that promise peace that passes all understanding. He doesn't promise " quick fixes " or " short cuts " , BUT He does promise a transformation or "surgery" like no other !

Try Him on today if you don't know Him as your Lord & Savior.......I promise , He will not "fade away" like that old pair of 501's !!!

John 14:6

I am the Way , the Truth & the Life......no one can come to the Father , except through Me.
