Today’s Thought “The Church Picnic” G. Ward

“Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the Lord. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord.” Jeremiah 23:24

What’s the difference in the picnic sponsored by the church vs. the barbeque at your home? Let’s take inventory; both have tantalizing ribs, outstanding chicken, hotdogs with a little burn to them, numerous side dishes, magnificent desserts, melons, sodas and great laughter and fun. At your home however, I neglected walking a little further to discover larger coolers somewhat distant from the others filled with another kind of soda called beer. Moreover, what I perceived to be fruit smoothies in the finer pitchers, is loaded with rum or vodka. Hey, why didn’t you bring that to the church picnic?

*Discerning right vs. wrong is easily attainable. The barometer in holiness asks, “Will this please my Savior, or is it entirely self-serving?” Go ahead and continue exacerbating the myth that Jesus made wine synonymous with the fermented kind of today, enabling drunkenness – the antithesis of what HE represents…

Happy Friday!
