The man is in Iowa till tomorrow
I’m miffed, and that is putting it mildly… last evening… 4 min early start, with a 36-minute start to finish. Once again rushing so quickly responses could not even be said before he started another phrase. The message started out well, and I thought, “Oh, I’d never thought about that” It quickly reverted into an all about him and his experience (once again). I’ve become used to this and realized it would be this way tonight when he was early, drenched in aftershave and dressed up. Why it bothered me more this time? In attendance was someone who had recently returned after 5 years; remembering how it used to be and getting the drive-thru show instead.
Mark 13:24-32
Jesus said to his disciples:
“In those days after that tribulation
the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light,
and the stars will be falling from the sky,
and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
“And then they will see ‘the Son of Man coming in the clouds’
with great power and glory,
and then he will send out the angels
and gather his elect from the four winds,
from the end of the earth to the end of the sky.
“Learn a lesson from the fig tree.
When its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves,
you know that summer is near.
In the same way, when you see these things happening,
know that he is near, at the gates.
Amen, I say to you,
this generation will not pass away
until all these things have taken place.
Heaven and earth will pass away,
but my words will not pass away.
“But of that day or hour, no one knows,
neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”
Navigational instruments to be assured but were they not also considered gods?
Late afternoon I head to Iowa to drop off a couple at home. I’m looking forward to a slower-paced week ahead of me.
Know you are prayed for.
