Salvation is the Solution

11/2/2015

 
I just love our BBQ family.  In our world, the playing field is equal.  It doesn’t matter if you’re rich, poor, white, black, educated etc., we’re all on the same level, turning in our product in the exact same boxes, under the same rules for
everyone.  Pits come in all kinds of different configurations and guys have won cooking on every conceivable kind of cooker out there from under $100 to over $15,000! BBQ unites us by virtue of a shared passion and breaks down the walls that separate us in society. It’s one of the many attributes of BBQ that make it the great sport that it is.  Come to think of it, our BBQ world could teach the other “World” a thing or two.  
 
Funny how things have changed in the world of politics.  We’re a full year out and you would have thought the election was in the next month.  We’ve had debates and campaign reporting has been a nightly event for months already.
 
Caroline and I find value in following the political world.  The value, is a focus on what we need to pray for.  God wants us praying all the time…. (1 Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, [Luke 18:1 NKJV])…  
 
The downside is a feeling of hopelessness.  It’s a barrage of stories of how the devil roams about the earth destroying lives, families, hopes, and dreams on a daily basis.  In part, that is the “business” of News.  Bad news sells and Good News doesn’t get the ratings.  God knows this and, in His brilliance, He designed it so that we…you and I…. would bring the Good News to people on a daily basis.  It’s the same Good News manifested in new ways, new situations every day.  It’s the News that Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, came down from Heaven,
became man, bore our sins and made the way for us to spend eternity with God the Father in Heaven.  And our price is surrender to His will in our lives.  That’s called Salvation, that’s called becoming born-again.  When this happens to people, it’s an amazing, and un-deniable.  (17 Therefore, if anyone [is] in Christ, [he is] a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. [2Co 5:17 NKJV])  It’s the gift from God for all of us, paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ.  At this point, I just gotta throw in there…. What are you waiting for?  Give it to God.
 
Returning to the political world we live in, this translates to the solutions we are all looking to find and it’s right before our eyes….. Salvation is the Solution.

etc…..: Salvation is the Solution
 
Our prayers are focused…. Salvation will change the World we live in.  Are YOU saved? Have you surrendered your whole heart to God?  There’s no half-way on this, you’re either in…or out!  If you are saved, you won’t need to “sell” it, this scripture will glow in your life… 17 Therefore, if anyone [is] in Christ, [he is] a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. [2Co 5:17 NKJV]

Today is YOUR day to become a part of God’s Solution!  Give it to God!
