The David Spoon Experience 10-21-22 Part 2

1) I believe that I can write this show introduction with a great deal of conviction and experience. I have been hurt in the church. Badly. In reality, faith-altering levels. But I have been a Christian for 44 years. The horrible church stuff was from year 2 to year 6. That’s about four years. That leaves 40 years when the church has not been lousy. It hasn’t been perfect. In truth, in some cases, it’s been outstanding. And that is as a pastor and a member. All that to say this: Go to church. Be connected. Be in fellowship, or you are disobedient to Jesus, who said, “a new commandment I give to you…love one another.” We can’t do that by ourselves. 2) Christian music artists are awesome. Christian teachers, national and local, are awesome. Christian entertainers are awesome. Christian servants are awesome. Christian brothers and sisters are awesome. But only to a degree. All of us are limited in how awesome we are or can be. There is only One who is forever and always awesome. And He doesn’t need us to be awesome the way we need Him, just to breathe, let alone to be awesome. No flesh shall glory. 3) Okay. Here is a secret. Well, it’s not a secret. But we act that way. All of our understanding, comprehension, insight, illumination, revelation, grasping, and knowledge come from somewhere. Colossians 2:3 states, All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him. Care to take guess where it all comes from? If you said JESUS, you win the prize. If you know Him, you know the prize.
