IHS TOGETHER / EVANGELICAL CHURCH ALLIANCE INTL.

From the book The Sole Balm by Elmon Krupnik         

 One of the more thought provoking commercials on television that I have viewed in the past is the one where the gentleman is driving backwards in his car to reduce the mileage accumulation. Of course, what he is doing is foolishness.

The Bible would say that the man is building a house upon sand. The Sermon on the Mount closes with the parable of the wise and foolish builders.  Matthew 7:24-27 states, “Therefore, whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock; And the rain descended and and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house; and it fell not, for it was founded upon a rock.  And everyone that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand.  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house; and it fell and great was the fall of it.” 

 The Sermon on the Mount contains spiritual teachings that Jesus taught to give us a greater understanding about our relationship with God.  As was then and is now, the teachings of Jesus are forward thinking.  I encourage all to read the Sermon on the Mount and put our cars in gear to drive forward and not backward as we apply the wisdom that God has given us to our every day lives.

PSALM 119:121-128

121 I have done what is righteous and just;

    do not leave me to my oppressors.

122 Ensure your servant’s well-being;

    do not let the arrogant oppress me.

123 My eyes fail, looking for your salvation,

    looking for your righteous promise.

124 Deal with your servant according to your love

    and teach me your decrees.

125 I am your servant; give me discernment

    that I may understand your statutes.

126 It is time for you to act, Lord;

    your law is being broken.

127 Because I love your commands

    more than gold, more than pure gold,

128 and because I consider all your precepts right,

    I hate every wrong path.

PSALM 119:113-120

113 I hate double-minded people,

    but I love your law.

114 You are my refuge and my shield;

    I have put my hope in your word.

115 Away from me, you evildoers,

    that I may keep the commands of my God!

116 Sustain me, my God, according to your promise, and I will live;

    do not let my hopes be dashed.

117 Uphold me, and I will be delivered;

    I will always have regard for your decrees.

118 You reject all who stray from your decrees,

    for their delusions come to nothing.

119 All the wicked of the earth you discard like dross;

    therefore I love your statutes.

120 My flesh trembles in fear of you;

    I stand in awe of your laws.
