R.I.P. Steve Jobs

If I live to be only as old as Steve Jobs when I die, that means I only have 11 years to live. I know that I'm not even guaranteed another day, but when I consider the impact Steve Jobs has had on so many people with the technological breakthroughs he authored, it is VERY impressive to say the least.

Okay, so NOW, today, Saturday, October the 8th.... What is the most important thing to Steve Jobs? The answer was, is and will always be for Steve Jobs and each one of us..... our relationship with Jesus Christ.

Our earthly lives come and go, but eternity ... well, it's, uh .... FOREVER!!!! As the yapping dogs in our lives try to distract us from the reality of how primary our relationship with Jesus Christ is, it is literally an eternal challenge to keep our lives focused on the ONLY thing that will matter in determining our eternal destiny and destination.

Have a great weekend and may God bless.

December...

Wow, that was fast, 2010 is almost gone and 2011 is just around the corner. I am just now realizing that I said twenty ten and twenty eleven instead of two thousand ten ... etc.

We're in Luke 22 on Sunday mornings and in Acts 3 on Wednesday evenings.

Lord willing, Kim and I will begin our 7th year here at the Godfrey Church of Christ on December 18th, which was move in day, but I had made a trip with a U-Haul truck the previous weekend and had preached Sunday Dec. 12th

In the beginning Jesus created the heavens and the earth.

Oh wait a minute, in Genesis 1.1 the quote actually says, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." What about John 1.3 where the scripture reads all things were created by him and nothing was created without him in reference to Jesus.

Is inserting Jesus into Genesis 1.1 really that radical or is it just restating what Jesus claims about himself all along?
