Don’t quit your day job

Posted on March 23, 2013 Written by Mark McIntyre 6 Comments

The point of this ramble is that God redeems all of life, even the aspects of life that seem to have no eternal value. To be faithful in a difficult or boring job is as much an act of grace as teaching a Bible study.

Do not be anxious

The problem is that often I don’t even realize that I am getting anxious. In those times, I lose sight of what is really important in the press of the urgent stuff around me.

Politics

On the Church and politics

Whether you are elated or depressed about the result of the election, it is good to keep in mind that politics cannot solve the problems we face. The church is not, nor should it be a political institution.

Bread

On baskets, bread and the next generation

All the disciples were required to do was to get bread from Jesus and carry it in baskets to the people. We need to carry the gospel to our youth. We need to possess it and understand it before we can impart it to the next generation.

Extra! Extra!

New news, old news

Malcolm Muggeridge is attributed as saying, “new news is old news happening to new people.” Jeremiah warns us of repeating the errors of ancient Israel.

The Low Whisper

God is not a bully who badgers people into submission to his will. He is a gentleman who patiently woos the object of his love. He speaks in a gentle and quiet whisper, drawing people to himself.
