LIFE’S IMPOSSIBLE SITUATIONS

October 20, 2012 By Leave a Comment

# 1     Life—impossible situation

# 2     As a Christian, I do not subscribe to Murphy’s Law, but someone keeps sending me a gift subscription.

# 3     “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.”

# 4     It’s impossible for a rich man to hear # 3  without protesting.

# 5     “It is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good Word of God, and the powers of the world to come, if they shall fall away, to renew them again to repentance.”

# 6     The list is obviously and intentionally incomplete.

 

The rest of # 3  goes like this:

“With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

(Quotes are direct, from His Book)

When you are drowning, you need somebody (anybody, doesn’t matter who it is) to throw you a life-preserver with a rope attached, to pull you to safety.  You immediately have no use for the life-preserver after that.

When you are helpless after a disaster or tragedy, you need some people (friends, neighbors, churches) to provide a life raft with temporary provisions to keep you afloat for awhile until you can get back on your feet.  It’s not permanent, unless you have no feet.

When you choose a lifestyle of helplessness, you don’t need a furnished yacht, permanently provided by the government, funded by a dwindling number of taxpayers (aka slaves) who are willing to work.

 

The United States Constitution says “provide common defense” and “promote general welfare.”  It does not say provide welfare.
