Humbly Accept Your Limits
Many issues shout out for attention this week. Impeachment madness casts a pall over Washington, D.C. and remains a waste of time and money by progressive politicians bent on overturning the 2016 election. Let’s vote them out in 2020.
I’m still weighing President Trump’s decision to remove troops from Northern Syria. Most people I trust say it is a bad move for stability, religious freedom, and rewarding loyalty in the region. But it might be a wise decision to force other nations to rise to their responsibilities. Time will tell.
In the next few weeks I will be giving some messages on “Humility”–a subject far removed from the Twitter mob wars in the U.S. and bombing campaigns in the Middle East. But it’s a vital subject for those of us “seeking first God’s Kingdom and His righteousness” (Matthew 6:33).
And I’ve come to a conclusion.
A wise person will humbly accept their limits.
Why I Trust in Jesus Christ
Over the past three weeks I’ve talked about who you can TRUST in the big decisions of life.
First, a cloud of billions of witnesses confirm your direction. Second, an infallible Book (The Bible) provides a reliable compass for living.
Third, and most importantly, there is only one person in time and eternity who, through his own sufferings, provided the “Way” to eternal friendship with the Almighty.
Why I trust in Jesus Christ.
Why I Trust the Bible
I mentioned last week that the first leg of the three-legged “Who Can I Trust” stool is the great cloud of witnesses that confirm there is salvation in Jesus Christ alone.
This mirrors our daily experience.
Last year I went to Lowe’s to buy a lawnmower. I asked the sales person which one was their number one seller–and bought it because most people preferred it. Same with the cloud of witnesses. Truth is often found in numbers (confirming something to be true).
But there’s an even greater confirmation than people’s choices.
It’s found in the most incredible book ever written.
Here’s why I trust the Bible.
