High Voltage Truth

"High Voltage Truth"

Scripture Reading:
John 21:24  This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true.

Devotional Reading:

I don't know about you, but for me, when someone opens their eyes and heart to the Gospel it is a mountain top experience.  Now with that said, every church has its share of tire-kickers. I welcome them and actually look forward to them! The passion of my  Christian life is to introduce others to Jesus Christ, so when folks who are just looking come through the doors of the church, I’m thrilled. But not every tire-kicker is a serious seeker. Some who say they are looking for God are actually not looking for Him, but for what they hope He will do for them. And there’s a difference...indeed a huge chasm. Some are looking for a panacea. They want some area of their life “fixed,” and wonder if God can do it. Others are seeking not God, but God’s power. They have their own agenda securely in place, and would like just a little of God’s “voltage” to power up their plan and put them over the top. These are the folks who usually pass through the church, then move on. They go away disappointed, believing that God was not interested in them or that God cannot be found in this church. But He is not a supernatural errand boy. God Almighty cares deeply for the lost, yet He has established the immutable conditions by which He can be found. They are not easy, but they are simple. God will be found by every serious tire-kicker, every seeker, who confesses his sin, repents of that sin, and receives Jesus Christ into his life. The words God longs to hear are these: “Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner.” They are music to His ears.  The question is a simple one:  Is your Goliath too big to handle or is your Goliath too big too miss!  My God is an awesome God who can do all things and can overcome all things...there is nothing He cannot handle!
