What You Should Know #5

Do you know 40% of human jobs could be replaced by AI in the future?

Do you know that the average person will sleep 25 years in a lifetime?

Here’s something to really consider:

Do you know that a man is not justified by the works of the law? 

Galatians 2:16

knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.

Sadly, though you work at salvation as hard as you can, you’ll never make it. God provided a better way.

Give it some thought.

What You Should Know #4

Do you know that the filling in Kit Kats is made from damaged Kit Kats?

Do you know Fruit Loops are all the same flavor?

Again, we could finish life well without knowing the above, but we need to ponder such a wonderful love that motivated our Savior.

Do you know that though He was rich Christ became poor so that we could become rich?

2 Corinthians 8:9

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.

Forget junk food and junk science this is real information.

Give it some thought.

What You Should Know! #3

Did you know lobsters have clear blood?

Do you know that lobsters taste with their feet?

The first two questions could be considered useless information, but this next one is critical.

Do you know that your body can be the temple of the living God?

1 Corinthians 3:16

Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

Don’t be thinking of lobster.  Consider that your body can be a temple where God dwells.

Give it some thought.

What You Should Know! #2

Do you know one of the largest pyramids in the world is a Bass Pro Shop in Memphis, Tennessee? I’ve been there.

Do you know the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth has a name? arachibutyrophobia

Do you know all things work together for good to them who love God?

Romans 8:28

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Not all things are good, but all things can work together for good. You need to know this.

Give it some thought.

What You Should Know! #1

Do you know there are 118 ridges on the side of a dime?

Do you know the Statue of Liberty wears a size 879 shoe?

1 John 5:13

I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal.

Do you know you have eternal life?

The first two facts provide useless information, but this verse brings peace and security in regards to eternity.

Give it some thought.

One-Step

I want to write today about a one-step program. Now I realize that there are a great number of twelve-step programs out there and I’m not attacking them. For some individuals, these programs have been a blessing.  However, I believe in the one-step program that can take us all the way to heaven. The Apostle Paul mentioned that step to his prison keeper in Rome.

Acts 16:31

So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

Salvation was just one step away for the jailer and everyone in his family. That step is called “Believe” and it’s only one step away for anyone.

Give it some thought.

Coffee

So the doctor said, “You’ll have to quit coffee.”

I said, “Look, Doc, whatever pill it takes or whatever procedure you have to do so that I can drink coffee, I’m open to it.”  Teetotalling coffee is off the table in medical conversations. Take five years off my life, but brew my morning coffee.  Coffee and I have more than sixty years in this and we will end this thing together.

I know what you’re thinking about me, but we all have chinks in our armor and this is one of mine. By the way, what are some of yours?

James 3:2

For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.

Only one perfect man ever walked this planet and it sure isn’t me. Is it you?

Give it some thought the next time you judge some of my failures.
