Got A Problem?

If so, Christ has the answer.

Need guidance? Jesus said, "I am the way..." (John 14:6).

Want to know how to get along with others? Jesus taught how to do it (Matt. 5:38-39).

Do you have a problem with your boss? The Lord said to give him an honest day's work (2 Thess. 3: 10).

Have a problem with your employees? The Lord said the laborer was worthy of his hire (1 Tim. 5:8), so be fair with them.

How about economics? Jesus taught thrift (John 6: 12). Many, by waste, bring upon themselves a needy condi­tion.

Want a proper education? Look at Jesus - he grew intellectually (in wis­dom); he grew physically (in stature); he grew spiritually (in favor with God), and he grew socially (in favor with men) (Lk. 2:52). Hard to find a better education than that!

Have a problem with sin? Christ is the answer; he came to remove it (Matt. 1:21).

For several years we lived in the Sacra­mento, CA area. The best known Catho­lic in town was a certain bishop who had a bigger penchant for getting in front of a TV camera than Jesse Jackson ever had! Tuned on the news one evening, and sure enough, there he was - bestowing bless­ings upon every animal that had been brought before him. He sprinkled water on everything from dogs to hamsters, for whatever good that may have done them.

Then he smiles into the camera and says, "we had better be good to animals, be­cause it just may be that when we stand before God, we may fmd he is a rhinoc­eros." First word in my mind was "blas­phemy." It is bad enough to engage in some ridiculous rite (whatever was newsworthy about it still escapes me), but, something like that bordered not only on blasphemy, but stupidity - and this from a man who supposedly worships God.

Now we agree that we should be kind to animals. I don't particularly like them, but they ought to be treated humanely. But some crass remark like that makes me wonder if somebody hasn't descended from a Dodo bird! I will say I did not see him take a "dog by the ears" (Pro. 26:17). Some irate pet owner may well have doused the good bishop! I also wonder how he would have handled Balaam's donkey! - Bill Moseley
