By: Gary L. Hutchens “Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain” (Ps. 127:1). If God is not behind something, it will ultimately fail, no matter what it is. If God does not watch over something, it will ultimately come undone. If God does not protect the border, any boundary will ultimately be breached. There is no security, in the ultimate sense, this side of Heaven! That’s the long and the short of it. Consider the mighty city of New Orleans in regard to Hurricane Katrina.
By: Gary L. Hutchens We live in a world that is both obsessed with security and at the same time frustrated by the realization that true security is becoming increasingly elusive. Security cameras are everywhere. New, high-tech, super sophisticated weapons systems are continually being incorporated into the defensive systems of nations all around the world in an effort to insure their security from outside attack. But as soon as a new weapons system is deployed, it is already virtually out of date. A newer, more sophisticated, better system designed to defeat the first is either in the developmental process or, in many cases, ready to come on line.
By: Gary L. Hutchens “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses” (1 Tim. 6:12). With that admonition in mind, how’s the fight going? The devil’s your adversary, your opponent (1 Pet. 5:8). Is he pummeling you? Are you standing your ground? Are you defending yourself? Are you hitting back? Has he knocked you through the ropes? Did you get back up? Are you down for the count?
By: Gary L. Hutchens Time- precious, fleeting, uncertain… All of us go through twenty four hours of it every day, sixty minutes every hour, sixty seconds every minute. That’s 1440 minutes and 86,400 seconds every day. That sounds like a lot, but it goes by so quickly that it’s gone almost before we know it.
