STRANGE THINGS, RELATIVELY SPEAKING
"I pray that your love may abound still more and
more in real knowledge and all discernment, so that you may
approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere
and blameless until the day of Christ" (Philippians 1:9-10).
Isn't it strange how long an hour seems at worship,
yet so short playing golf, fishing, camping or watching a movie
or ball game?
Isn't it strange how a $20 bill looks so large at
offering time in worship, yet so small at the supermarket?
Isn't it strange that reading the Bible is a chore,
but that reading the newspaper is a daily habit that we look
forward to and miss if we cannot do it?
Isn't strange how we like the extra innings in a
game, but we lament if the preacher goes over by ten minutes?
Isn't it strange that many Christians cannot explain
the plan of salvation, yet they can explain their jobs and
hobbies in great detail with much enthusiasm?
Isn't it strange how concerned parents are about
their children's homework, yet they seem to care less about
their level of Bible knowledge?
Isn't it strange that many church members can tell
the plots of TV soap operas and sitcoms, but they cannot explain
the major themes of each book of the Bible?
Isn't it strange that people make it a point to
arrive in plenty of time for the ball game or movie, but they
always dash to church at the last minute?
Isn't it strange that people want to go to heaven on
their own way, but seemingly few are eagerly interested in
getting there on God's terms?
Isn't it strange how many people will spend hours of
time, energy, and care on their earthly home, but make very
little preparations for their eternal home?
