"The Lodi United Methodist church members as followers of Christ -
believe that the purpose of our church is to preach, teach, and witness
to the gospel, to care for the needs of our community and world
missions, and to live in a caring, loving, trusting and accepting way,
in order to glorify God in all things."
"This Weeks Service and Other Thoughts"
Hi Everyone,
This
might be "TMI" but stick with me anyway, please. Evidently,
I am one of those people whose ears tend to plug up with wax.
The doctors say to never put anything in your ear larger than your
elbow, and that specifically applies to Q-Tips. Thus, from
time to time, I must go to the doctor's office to have my ears
irrigated to the tune of $75 per visit. At times, I have tried
to be Scrooge-like and save money by removing the wax myself.
I won't mention the various techniques, but none of them are as
successful as having the doctor do the job and some of them are
inherently dangerous.
I mention
this fact not for sympathy, but rather to say that in our spiritual
life I find a corresponding parallel. Sin, like wax, builds up
in our personal lives and try as we may to clean up our acts
ourselves, removal of the sin can only be done by the Great
Physician.
Unlike
the huge debate going on in Washington these days, you and I have a
Universal (Spiritual) Health Plan made possible by the life, death,
and resurrection of Jesus that covers all of our costs, has no
deductibles, and not even the worst pre-existing conditions
can cause coverage to be denied. Although physical healing
does not always occur, spiritual healing is always possible.
During this time of Lent, it is the perfect time to get a spiritual
checkup and get cleansed.
As the
prophets said, "He who has ears, let him hear." Dave
