Deviants

I will give my sermon notes to the Mayor of Houston if she will read aloud every word to the city council in open session. She might help some hurting person to hear the truth.....and be saved, healed, delivered or just be encouraged. If she is confident in the decision to live her gay lifestyle, why is she afraid of others that want to live their lifestyle. Simple statistical comparison shows that "she" (and others like her) has deviated from the norm. There are more people unlike her than like her. Makes you think.

S.       21 And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.22 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet, 23 And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.24 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.

O.      Jesus is asked to come and heal a ruler’s sick daughter. As they are traveling to the ruler’s house large crowds gather and hinder their progress.

A.      Large crowds are often present when Jesus is teaching and preaching. This would make it very difficult for him to travel from place to place. Not one time do I see Jesus complaining or upset by this difficulty, he just kept moving toward his destination and ministering as he went. I must be careful about complaining in difficult situations and be sure to minister (represent Jesus) as I go.

     P.       Father; thank you for showing me this aspect of how Jesus dealt with problems. I want to be like Jesus and                       minister to others, even in my difficulties. Fill me with wisdom, love and grace. Amen.
