I think I should write a book called "What the heck is that supposed to mean?" It will feature those dorky church marquees that say dorky things. And today's dorky marquee award goes to a local club that I drove by this morning as I listened to a DYNAMITE message on the current Success magazine CD. It said, " People Fail. God Rescues." And again I ask my question.  I don't know about you but a lot of the pain in my life has come from feeling like GOD has failed me. And some of the most poignant, touching times have come wrapped in the form of a loving friend. Yes, I've experienced feeling rescued by God but that's been the exception, not the rule. It's these sort of very un-pithy sayings that keep religion and its illusions alive and well. God is able to handle our honesty, really he is. And that rescue part? I've watched plenty of friends die...friends struggle year after year with health issues through no doing on their own...the mentally ill tormented....financial disasters, etc, etc.... This is the stuff we'd like God to wave his magic wand and make all the bleck go away. But he does rescue---- very often through the tremendous abilities he's put in the soul of every human----and through expressed kindest to our fellowman. It's pretty unspectacular compared to the glitzy promises religion offers. But the funnest part is that when you change your perspective and outlook on these things, one begins to see and find God in the strangest places. Oh---second runner up for todays dorky marquee award: "When God closes a door, he opens a window" What? Is he indecisive? Looking to get some fresh air in the room? Does he take pleasure in watching us try to squeeze through the window if things are a little dull in the heavenlies? Perhaps the door is broken and he wants us to head to Lowes? |
