If You Are An Old 'Car Guy' Then The Chiltons Manuals Were Your Best Friend. Back In The Day When Cars

If you are an old 'Car Guy' then the Chilton’s Manuals were your best friend. Back in the day when cars were purely mechanical, these manuals provided step-by-step instructions on how to repair every part of a car from the distributor to the differential. So in order to fix a car, having this 'car bible' was a must.

However, there is a 'Life Manual' that also provides step-by-step instructions on how to heal everything, from loss to life, and that is God’s “Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth” Manual and that is the BIBLE. In it you will find everything you need to fix everything in life from head to toe.

Like today’s scripture reference exhorts us, keep the Bible in front of you at all times, and speak its words out of your lips because when you decree and declare its Promises and Principles you will indeed have “Great Success”…and no sockets or wrenches are required!

An article on TheDailyBeast.com on February 5, 2020 quoted a statistic that was SO SHOCKING that it not only floored me but saddened me to the core as to the current moral state of our people, nation and world. that it not only floored me but saddened me to the core as to the current moral state of our people, nation and world.

They reported that in a nation in which 139 million voted in the last presidential election that 141 million votes were cast for the best pornographic movie in 2019 on the largest sex-video web site in the world. Also, according to this self-same article, these five young women pictured here are the top 'stars' of the adult film world. Not so coincidentally another news article on-line the same day touted proudly that porn stars would now be featured models in a major runway fashion show in New York. If these sex actresses are (or are not) familiar to you, please read on.

We now live in a world, as indicated by today’s insightful and prophetic verse that all that was once considered virtuous has turned vile, where being “straight” is out of step with the times while lewd thoughts, language, dress, and actions are not only accepted but celebrated.

While many that read this may not know or be familiar with any of these women, sadly some of you may, and if you do – and especially if you have confessed Christ as your Lord – you have followed the path of perversion from goodness above. If so, you need to turn now and REPENT (literally change your mind) and seek forgiveness.

This epidemic of a sex-crazed culture and thinking always leads to spiritual destruction. For those on this path, it will never satisfy and will lead to an addiction that will continue to spiral down lower and lower into the denizens of Hell if you let it. But there is good news...

Christ can and does deliver us from ALL sin – no matter how small, large, venial or vial. Make the decision and promise God that RIGHT NOW to never look at these putrid images again!! Change your mind, turn away from the bitter and turn to the sweetness of wholeness and holiness in God. Seek Christ, Get Forgiveness, and Receive His Grace.

Turn your eyes upon Jesus - not JUNK! It is never too late to live a sweet and not bitter life.

There is nothing like a fresh, sunshiny bouquet of flowers and likewise, a newborn baby is fresh and vibrant too, but be they babies or bouquets as time goes on they both shall wither and die. Then the question is: WHAT’s NEXT?

Job framed this eloquently in today’s scripture verse in that while the middle of the three stages of life may also be a flowering field in the sunshine, it can also be “Full Of Trouble” as well — as anyone that has been alive can attest! However when the flower of our field through life ends and the only flower left are the ones on our grave, the question then is indeed “What’s Next?”

The GOOD NEWS (literally 'Gospel') is that Jesus has conquered death and the grave and HE ALONE has the keys that can eternally free you from “Death and Hell” (Revelation 1:18) but in order to be unlocked from these two things “You must be Born Again” (John 3:7) and the way you do that is by agreeing with God that Christ is your only hope.

Friend, for you, the “What’s Next?” does not have to be Eternal DEATH, but Eternal LIFE. But how do you get there? Simple.

Agree with God that you are a sinner and ask Him to Save you from death and the grave and He will, then commit yourself to make Him #1 in your life, and not yourself.

Remember! That middle square called 'LIFE' will one day end, and only YOU have the power to walk through an unlocked door to the goodness of God’s blessing of eternity waiting for you. Do You believe this? And if so, will you do that today?

If you look at this picture, we can all honestly say that our path along the road of life has never been perfectly straight. In fact the road is a bit wavy, and the question is WHY.

We have all had the experience of driving when something to the left or right side of the road catches our eye, and once we take our eyes off of looking forward, the car out drifts out of the lane and we start weaving.

This is a great analogy of what often happens in life. If we were to keep our eyes on God and follow His direction we would always stay in the centerline of the road, but as soon as we allow ourselves to get distracted by things that catch our attention that are outside of God’s truth, we start weaving and the road is made crooked.

Look...nobody is perfect and we all have and will make mistakes, but as today’s scripture admonishes us, keep your eyes on God and follow His precepts. When you do, you’ll never go in the wrong direction and will safely stay on your road through this life.

Have you ever asked yourself how long you’ll be here? I’m sure all of us have often thought at one time, “Will I live into my old age, get a terminal disease, or die suddenly?” Let’s face it - life is definitely unpredictable. Our days on earth are a thimbleful of water compared to the oceans of eternity.

Life is shorter than we realize, but then it goes away as quickly as it came. Like the steam that rises from a coffee cup, it is gone and cold before you can finish it. Likewise, the cold truth is that even as fast as life passes, God never forgets who YOU are or how much time you have before you depart. He has specific plans for each and every life in the struggle of life saying:

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11

Every day you live and breathe is a gift from God. He gives many opportunities to live life but especially the life He offers us by accepting His Son Jesus who died for all of us. While He knows the date and time all of our lives will end, we do not, and because we don’t it is up to us to make a decision about what to do next.

So asking the question again, “How Long Will You Live?” and the simple answer is FOREVER but the REAL question is WHERE?? But here is the GOOD NEWS!!

God has a beautiful glorious HOME in HEAVEN for you when you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Do you know Him personally? If you don’t please pray this prayer with me:

Dear heavenly Father, I know that this earthly body I live in is going to die and you know the number of my days. I want to know you, Jesus, and live out the plans you have for on earth while I am still here, because your Word says they are good plans to prosper me and give me a future. Please forgive my of all of my sins and come into my heart right now so that when my life is over here I will still live forever and ever with you. In Jesus name I pray, AMEN

The great hockey player Wayne Gretsky once said, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take,” and in a related thought later also said in essence, “I don’t go to where the puck IS. I go to where IT IS GOING TO BE.” In both of these, there is a strong exercise of faith in both visualizing and believing that he will succeed when he puts both of these strategies into action. This same principle is also true in our spiritual walk.

God has given us many promises in the Bible and if you apply Gretsky’s thinking and don’t take the initiative to seize those promises, they will not just simply come to you. Applying your faith and believing is the spiritual equivalent to 'skating to where the promise is and will be.' Once you do, then and only then will you be able to receive those promises.

Professional athletes are disciplined to work out, go to practice each day, learn their plays, and study the strategies of their opposition. We likewise have to exercise the same disciplines in our life by daily getting into the practice of reading God’s Word, understand His 'playbook' and apply His wisdom and know the pitfalls and dangers of the opposition we all face in life. However there is one last vitally important element that must be present and that is that you have to BELIEVE you are going to win and receive that in your heart!

God has so much to give us, and we can and will receive it, but we have to do our part because –

“Without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please him: for He that comes to God MUST BELIEVE that he is, and that He is a rewarder of them that Diligently Seek Him.” - Hebrews 11:6

BELIEVE and you will RECEIVE!
