"A Crazy Faith"

What a day, What a day, What a day We had at the Luke today! from the time the choir sung "Grateful" the mood was set. The house was onfire. We (God & Me) preached about "A Crazy Faith that makes a whole lot of sense". Sometime it is hard to maintain a healthy mind and spirit when everything is going crazy around you. The text focused in on an elderly, God loving couple who had no children. The prophet Elisha would always stop by their house to spend a night. He would come by so often that they fixed him up a room to stay whenever he would come by. They were so good to him that he asked GOD to bless them with a child and He did.

But then the boy died and the woman did not panic she said "It IsWell". She was not crazy she believed in the Power of GOD. As believers we should be able to deal with reality rather than reject it. Mental health is defined as the ability to be dedicated to reality and truth at all costs. She wasn't crazy because she dealt with the reality that the son GOD had given her was dead and He was the only one that could bring him back.

If you know GOD you can maintain a spiritual balance and you won't get knocked off your feet by little stuff.

The single most important thing you have to do is "Keep your eyes stayed on Jesus"  When your eyes are fixed on Jesus everybody around you can be going crazy and you will say It Is Well. Keep your eyes on Jesus and He will see you through.

I am on my way to The Union Missionary Baptist where my good friend Robert Carr is the angel of that church, to preach their 81st Anniversary. As my cousin Roni would always say "Little Bit Later"
