Extraordinary Measures

Extraordinary Measures is wonderful film, based on true events, about the actions taken by a father to save two of his children. He didn't wait around for medical science to come up with something to help, he actively got involved and helped make it happen. Of course, it helps the film stars two favorite actors, Brendan Fraser and Harrison Ford.

The movie reminds me of how God goes to extraordinary measures for his children. He sent his only begotten son to pay the price for sin and allows us, once more, back into the throne room. Not only that, but the price also paid for physical, mental and emotional health. Remember how, after the first passover, there was not one feeble person among the Jewish nation as they fled Egypt for the promised land? That's available today.

According to Romans we have the right to call God 'Daddy'. We are His heirs and joint-heirs with Christ. We are adopted. What that means is that God chose us and will NEVER toss us away. We are free from condemnation. We are more than conquerors through He who loves us.

Wow!

Not to mention the promise of Christ's return where the dead will rise first and put on immorality, and those of us who are alive will be changed and caught up in air. Ever will we be with the Lord! (Thess.)

Are you ready to embrace the Extraordinary Measures God has for you?

Sin is Sin

We humans tend to down grade sin. To us, lying is not as bad as adultery which isn't as bad as murdering someone.

Really? How come?

Because we all want to think we're better than someone else.

How does God see it?

The man who murdered his child in cold blood stinks just as much as the person who told the white lie to their spouse.

With God there are no 'degrees' of sinning.

It all stinks to him.

Sin is Sin.
