Don’t be lukewarm
Iwas reminded this week of something that happened to one of our grandsons when he was about ten years old. The kids were living in Dallas at the time and while walking home from school he got stung on his cornea by a bee. There just happened to be one of those 24-hour medical clinics on his walking route so he walked in and shouted, “I need a doctor.” He was okay but I laugh when I think about that little towhead with nerdy glasses doing something so grown up. I think we call this, “taking care of business.”
God is able
We are familiar with a few of the poetic, prophetic words of Martin Luther King Jr.: “I have a dream…” and “I’ve seen the promised land…” As a Christian minister, King’s most lofty repetitions of God’s promises come from his sermons. His sermons were preached more than once at varying venues, so attributing times and places is not always accurate, but the following words were preached on Jan. 1, 1956, at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama.
