Analog Christianity

April 7, 2020

“Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day. Your commandment makes me wiser
than my enemies, for it is ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers, for 
your testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the aged, for I keep your precepts.
I hold back my feet from every evil way, in order to keep your word. I do not turn aside from your
rules, for you have taught me. How  sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my
mouth! Through your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your word
is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Psalm 119:97-105

Cashing God’s Checks

April 6, 2020

“These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the
Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have
said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. 
Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” John 14:25-27

Barren is to be Born Again

April 5, 2020

And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God’s creation. “I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” Revelation 3:14-21

Settling for Scallops

April 4, 2020

“’I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Yet a little while and the world will see me no more,
but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and 
you in me, and I in you. Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he
who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.’ Judas (not Iscariot)
said to him, ‘Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?’ Jesus answered
him, ‘If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him
and make our home with him.'” John 14:18-23

Under His Umbrella

April 3, 2020

“Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed; he will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving might
of his right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
They collapse and fall, but we rise and stand upright.” Psalm 20:6-8
