Non political

After my semi-political rant yesterday, back to more important things, heaven, hell, eternity etc. Today I was a good boy and went to the hardware store and bought 4 bags of fertiliser with weed killer built in. This I diligently used on the lawns at work, one of which especially is a dandelion forest. "Easy," I thought, "spread it and forget it." After many minutes of walk and spread, I collected the empty bags and casually looked at the instructions. Yes, I'm a man and don't read instructions. Well, I got one thing right. "Apply when the weeds are wet." We've had over 4 inches of rain these past 2 days. "Don't apply if rain is forecast within the next 24 hours." What? The forecast is for more rain. I immediately thought of the bazillions of people, who like me, have gone through life without ever reading the instructions, or even had any clue that they exist. I found out over 20 years ago that the instruction book is God's Word, the Bible, and to not do what is says is more dangerous than we think. Not only will we have unfulfilled lives here on earth, but tormented ones in eternity. If we bought a broken down car and didn't know how to fix it and we met someone who said, "I know everything about that car, every nut and bolt," and you said, "How?" and the person said, "I made the whole thing," if you were sensible you'd take notice. So it is with God and the Bible. As He made everything (read Genesis) He alone knows how to fix it (read John's gospel). Think about it; it makes sense.
