Scripture of The Day
But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that
is in Christ. (II Corinthians 11:3)
Have you noticed how complicated everything has become lately, or am I just getting old? It seems that nothing is simple anymore. I just spent an inordinate amount of time trying to get a particular image to fit on our website. It is almost like we now have to be a graphic artist, computer geeks, accountants, and lawyers to survive this complicated world.
I remember as a young boy when we did not even have a television in our home. Imagine that! I had a radio that I listened to the Lone Ranger on and that was the extent of my media entertainment. When we finally did get a television it only had one or two channels and they were black and white. We now have hundreds of channels in every kind of format you can think of. Too many choices!!
Well, I have some very good news for all you people out there that feel like I do. There are still a few things that are very simple and very rewarding.
1. You can be saved and go to Heaven (Roman 10:9)
2. You can be baptized with the Holy Ghost (Matt. 3:11)
3. You can be forgiven (1 John 1:9)
4. You can have power over the enemy (Luke 10:19)
5. You can be free indeed (John 8:36)
All these things are available to you and I by simply believing. No strings attached. Just believe it in your heart and confess it with your mouth. The price has already been paid. Don’t let the complicated world we presently live in beguile you into believing it somehow has to be more complicated than that. The power of the Gospel is hidden in it’s simplicity.
