OUT OF AMMO

   Posted by: pastordiehl    in Uncategorized

Today is the first day of Spring, which reminds me, in 1609 the British were fighting the French for control of the St. Lawrence River. British Admiral Phipps was ordered to take his eleven ships and anchor outside Quebec. He was to wait for the land forces before launching a joint attack on the city.

Arriving early, Phipps was annoyed by the statues of saints that adorned the roof of the Catholic cathedral. So he spent the next few days shooting the statues off the roof. Days later, when the land forces arrived, he was out of cannonballs. He had used up his ammunition shooting at the Saints.

When was the last time you witnessed a Christian wasting his/her spiritual energy taking pot shots at another Christian?

God’s Support Staff

   Posted by: pastordiehl    in Uncategorized

I smiled as I watched the Verizon commercial showing a host of a hundred and fifty workmen, each a specialist, following around a single cell phone customer.  There was no support that anyone would ever need anytime that there wasn’t a specialist right there beside them to instantly resolve the problem.   That was a very effective commercial; a great incentive to buy into the Verizon cell network.

My smile was because that is a picture of what the church should be.  Wherever  an individual Christian goes there should be a network of supportive Christians right there to assist in the journey.  Whatever problem we face, there is always an experienced believer to coach us along.  The Spirit of God works through believers, right?  This is God’s care for us.  What a thought!  Can you hear me now?
