A DIFFERENCE IN CAPACITY

by

CapacityMILKSHAKES AND ORANGE JUICE

By Ken Blue

“And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.” Matthew 25:15.

Capacity differs from person to person. Thank God, the capacity of some things can change. A few years ago I was at Denny’s restaurant for breakfast. After placing my order, I told the waitress I would like a glass of orange juice. When the order came, the glass was full, but I couldn’t help but notice how small it was! It must have been about 6 oz. One gulp and it was gone!

Some months later, my granddaughter and I pulled into the drive-through at Dairy Queen and ordered milkshakes. When they came; were we surprised? Each container was approximately 16 to 18 oz! They were filled to the brim, and we were delighted at the task before us.

There is a great difference between people and fixed containers. People can grow and increase in capacity. The above text confirms that every man and woman is given different capacity and is expected to increase. I hesitate to tell anyone that God has given them only one talent. It is easy to justify complacency and lack of drive, if we assume we have reached our potential. We must face the truth; there are those with greater capacity than ourselves. However, God expects us to at least double that which He has entrusted to us. If you are an orange juice glass or a milkshake container, your purpose is clear and capacity fixed. But, you are not, so, don’t settle for less than your best for the Lord Jesus.

THE RASH MOUTH

DEALING WITH A RASH MOUTH
RASH

Recently I read the newsletter by a big mouth independant, KJV, Baptist Evangelist (?) who called Rick Warren, with whom he disagreed, “That Devil”. The following article by Charles Finney describes such rashness.

[pullquote align=”right” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]”Take heed to yourselves that you be not rash”[/pullquote]

“Take heed to yourselves that you be not rash. Some ministers are exceedingly rash and hasty in forming and expressing their views and opinions on almost every subject–are precipitate and unguarded in their measures–are stiff and stubborn in the positions they take, and can never be long employed as ministers in any one place. They will almost always leave their people in a divided state. This may be true of a minister who thoroughly does his duty, and nothing more. But it may be, and often is owing to downright rashness and indiscretion in the minister. Not long since, a young minister observed to an elderly one, that “he was determined to drive the devil out of the Church to which he was preaching.” The aged man replied, “See that you do not attempt to cast out the devil through Beelzebub the prince of devils, and act yourself like the devil in banishing him from your place.” Ministers should always take heed that in opposing Satan, they do not come to possess his spirit.

BRAD PITT ADMITS IGNORANCE ABOUT GOD

BRAD PITT ADMITS IGNORANCE ABOUT GOD

By Ken Blue

Brad PittIn an interview with German magazine BILD, (the interviewer’s words, not ours), among several questions he was ask, “BILD: Do you believe in God? Brad Pitt (smiling): No, no, no! BILD: Is your soul spiritual? Brad Pitt: No, no, no! I’m probably 20 per cent atheist and 80 per cent agnostic. I don’t think anyone really knows. You’ll either find out or not when you get there, until then there’s no point thinking about it.”

The doctrine or tenets of Agnostics.
“…1871 R. H. Hutton Ess. I. 27 They themselves vehemently dispute the term [atheism] and usually prefer to describe their state of mind as a sort of know-nothingism or Agnosticism, or belief in an unknown and unknowable God. 1877 E. Conder Basis of Faith i. 25 But there is nothing per se irrational in contending that the evidences of Theism are inconclusive, that its doctrines are unintelligible, or that it fails to account for the facts of the universe, or is irreconcilable with them. To express this kind of polemic against religious faith the term ‘agnosticism’ has been adopted. 1879 Huxley Hume i. 60 Called agnosticism, from its profession of an incapacity to discover the indispensable conditions of either positive or negative knowledge.” Oxford English Dictionary.

Although Brad Pitt’s life is one of pretence, (he is an actor); at least he is not a hypocrite. He is just ignorant, and admits to it. He doesn’t know if a personal God exist, thus he assumes no one can know. My question would be, “how do you know, I don’t know?” Secondly, since he is 80% unsure, that leaves an 100% chance that a personal God exist.

If you will read carefully, his answers, you will see that Brad Pitt’s problem is not his atheism or Agnosticism. Brad Pitt’s basic problem is his indifference and unwillingness to know if God exist or not. Of course, there is always an underlying reason why men do not want to “think about it” or find out if a personal God exist or not, and you know what it is. You had better “think about it” and find out now.

God is not playing “hide-and-seek” with man. Evidence of His wisdom and power is everywhere. Paul said, “19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:” Romans 1:19-20. Not only is there abundant external evidence, God’s moral code is also written in the heart of every man, and he doesn’t even know it. Note Paul again on this matter. 14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)” Romans 2:14-15.

BOOK: Islam vs. Christianity

by

Islam and Christianity

Islam and Christianity: Are they similar?

Dr. Blue is “right on” about Islam and Christianity.  He digests the information that he has spent a lifetime accumulating, and presents it in an “easy to read” and informative fashion.

The advocates of Islam would have the unsuspecting world believe that It and Christianity are just about the same.  In this way, Islam is drawing in millions of people today.  Islam and Christianity are actually opposed to each other, with Islam often taking a violent position against this world’s followers of Christ.

Every unsuspecting soul should read this book before giving in to the ways of Islam.  Young Christians certainly should read this book so they can see the way that Islam is infiltrating the ranks of the church by leading them away.  The information in this book should be taught in every school that is serious about teaching objectivity.  In fact, a copy of this book should be in every home today.

In this book, Dr. Blue presents a comprehensive comparison and refutation of the supposed similarities between Islam and Christianity. In one reader’s words this book: “…reveals the true roots of the acts of aggression and hostility being perpetrated by the adherents to Islamic ‘truth’.”

HOW IMPORTANT IS SOUL-WINNING

How Important Is Soul-Winning

Soul-WinningBy Ken Blue

How important is soul-winning? Perhaps the following illustration will help you decide: A storm developed in the Pacific Ocean and for several days the waves crashed against the sandy beaches of the Hawaiian Islands. Thousands of sand dollars washed upon the seashore and were stranded. A lady, walking along the beach, saw them and one by one began tossing them back into the ocean. A man came along and said, “You’re wasting your time. There are too many for you to make a difference.” She picked up one and threw it back into the water and said, “It made a difference to that one.” She picked up another and as she tossed it back into the ocean she said, “It made a difference to that one.”

I ask you, how important is soul-winning? You decide. It will make a difference to that one.
