Think. I do a lot of that.

Yesterday I went and listened to my friend preach. And when he was preaching he told a story that really got me thinking.

He talked about having a horse where he lived. He said that it was a normal horse but there was one thing that the horse did very well more than anything else. The horse was extremely regular with his poop and that he had a specific cart that he used to clean up the corral. He talked abut how full the cart got as he cleaned up the corral and mentioned that when he was done his cart was very full but he couldn’t be proud.

He mentioned that his righteousness was about as worthy as his cart full of horse poop-in other words, not too great but normal. And that got me to thinking.

God has continually used people who were nothing to brag about to accomplish His will. To name just a few of them I’ll start with Adam & Eve who were not obedient to Moses who had a speech impediment to Jesus who was unknown by the people He made and very poor to Paul who made it a proud habit to kill Christians. So yes God used many unworthy people to accomplish His goals.

Now why do you suppose He did that? Because He knew that it would work out well.

Are people like that? No. They look at things as they see them and they look for perfection only. And if they don’t see perfection they decide that it won’t work and they either move on or give up but they definitely change their minds.

Funny, but God didn’t do that.

And people have either not noticed that God didn’t do that or something else because they decide or evaluate and move on.

95% of handicapped adults are not allowed in Churches. Why not? Don’t they believe or didn’t God make them? They may and He did.

So what’s the problem? Humans aren’t God and faith doesn’t even come into it at all. They just decide based on what they can see. Gee this sounds familiar: “Did He really say that you would die?”

So, my thought on all of this is that it’s not right because we’re not God. But you will decide on your own.

Just remember that as of this point in time 95% of handicapped adults are not allowed in Churches.
