Church Sign For The Times

This Is Not Me. :-)

            As I was driving today I passed a church that had a sign out front that read something like this:

    "He's making a list and checking it twice - Jesus."

            Now I know they probably just thought that was cute but when you actually stop to think about what that says - it is SO wrong! We have to remember that the list has been made since before time began and if you're His - you're His. In fact - you only love Him because He first loved you. God is patient and kind and loving, rich in love and slow to anger.
            He even says this to us: "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient, not wanting any to perish".
           This is a God who just wants the best life for you and those you love so he gives you His word and His messed up people to point the way to Him. As Christians, we should remember the advice my favorite preacher Steve Brown gives frequently, "We are just beggars telling other beggars where we found bread."
             I am far from perfect, but with God? He will never count my past against me. The list of my sins is empty. He paid for it on the cross. It is finished.
Too bad they couldn't fit all that on a sign.
