Every now and then I hear on the news what is called in our region as a “Boil Order”.\u00a0 It is a notice that for some reason the water is not fit to drink and should be boiled before drinking.\u00a0 Some expert authority has recommended, because of a break in the water line or some other cause of contamination, that people take precautions.\u00a0 Not everyone listens.\u00a0 Not everyone is wise.\u00a0 Some don’t believe the warnings.\u00a0 Some are too lazy to boil the water and take the proper precautions.\u00a0 Some are just reckless and choose to risk their health and their family\u2019s health.\u00a0 I see the same thing in my world. <\/span><\/p>\n

God has given us some simple instructions to deal with problems such as sin, self, strife, family problems, and societal issues.\u00a0 The answer is Jesus.\u00a0 He wants us to turn from our own attempts, beliefs, and the influence of those around us and turn to Jesus.\u00a0 That is why He came.\u00a0 He will, upon request, give us living water,\u00a0abundant life, a relationship we can count on, and life eternal.\u00a0 We can trust what He gives, the water He provides. <\/span><\/p>\n

I see people, however, drinking sewage when clean water is available.\u00a0 That water is all the religions that promote self as the means of salvation.\u00a0 Some even make man a god.\u00a0 I am ASTONISHED at what people put into themselves in\u00a0an attempt to satisfy their thirst.\u00a0 The opinions, views, religions, and attempts they ingest are poison.\u00a0 How can you drink from a dirty cup filled with poisons when living water is right there?\u00a0 How sick do you have to get from drinking such before you take in what God has supplied in Jesus?\u00a0 And yet, I see people going from one polluted cup to another. <\/span><\/p>\n

There was a woman who came to a well.\u00a0 She had a polluted life and had not stopped drinking from the vile cups.\u00a0 Jesus offered her an artesian well, speaking of Himself.\u00a0 This woman drank freely and shared this Jesus she had received. <\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t drink from the city system, so I really don’t have to worry about the Boil Orders.\u00a0 I have a well.\u00a0 It has been tested and declared pure.\u00a0 It has a bountiful supply of water.\u00a0 This is the truth in the physical.\u00a0 In the spiritual I have Jesus: mine, tested and declared pure and bountiful. <\/span><\/p>\n

I invite you to come take a drink<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
