Tomorrow's Text

14 And as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,15 so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life.
16 “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.17 God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.
18 “There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son.19 And the judgment is based on this fact: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil.20 All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed.21 But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants. ”
John 3:14-21 (NLT)

Been sick all week long, also helping Bunny through the loss of her precious Mama, trying to help her get well, and frankly actually tried to get someone else to come in and lead the music and preach tomorrow. I just haven't had the energy, the emotional strength,or the time to even look at Sunday's music or message. All the hours I normally put into study, and the "walking around with it" time that really matters to me, aren't available now.

I'll be fine.

When I pulled up the text, my heart raced and I thanked God, again, for His love for those like me. Sinners. Skeptics. Self-made gods.

If I can't preach that text, then I need to become a Buddhist.
