“Baby Steps”
I heard that
Madonna’s mock crucifixion was omitted from her program that aired on NBC.
I am glad. That was a baby step in the right
direction. I also understand there were about 9 different
groups claiming fame to that. Well kudos to you for getting
into the fight. We have been crawling for years now and it
is time to start standing up. Baby steps like the ones that
were taken to stop the blasphemy of Madonna and her so called art are a good
start to regaining a foothold for God. Remember though in
this constant battle of good and evil we have to take a slow steady move
forward. You know baby steps. If we try
and jump in and move full tilt forward we will look like radicals and fall
flat on our red faces. Well I am radical in my faith and I
say things and do things for the cause of Christ that seem off the wall.
I think though that the correct way to get the world back on track is
slow and steady as she goes. We didn’t fall into these
traps over night and we won’t climb out over night. Keep
up the Good fight and move ahead steady as she goes one step at a time.
Peter was the only one with the faith to step out of the boat.
I tell you if you as Christians don’t step out of the boat it is
going to crumble in around you and you will go down with the ship.
28”Lord, if
it's you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the
water."
29"Come,"
he said.
Then
Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.
But what happened when
Peter took his eyes off of Jesus?
30But
when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out,
"Lord, save me!"
31Immediately
Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You
of little faith,"
he said, "why
did you doubt?"
What has happened is we
of little faith have taken our eyes off of Jesus and we have begun to sink.
But He is reaching out His hand for us to grab on to so we won’t
drown. We babies need a hand to hold onto while we walk.
I want to hold on to the hand of Christ that I will not sink.
Only Christ can set you free for if the Son sets you free you are free
indeed.
PRaP Matthew 14
Key Verse:
Matthew
14:22
[ Jesus Walks on the Water ] Immediately Jesus made the disciples get
into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the
crowd.
