John McEnroe aka "Superbrat" made famous the line "You cannot be serious !"
You probably heard of the recent change in the law in Texas that an abortion cannot be given once the baby’s heartbeat is detected, somewhere around 6-8 weeks. Good news indeed ! This has caused outrage amongst the Pro-choice supporters who fear the overturning of Roe v Wade by the Supreme Court where 6 or 7 of the 9 judges are Catholic. The Pope has a lot of power over America these days.
We have a big problem in our World today perfectly described in the Book of Judges where it says;
In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
Judges 21:25
Every little group thinks they are right and wants the line shifted so they are inside the line.
If I can determine where the line is, I will always be inside the line. It’s the other fellow who’s outside the line.
The problem is… the pedophiles also think they are inside the line.
We need an umpire, a referee to tell us when is the ball is out. There are rules to the game, otherwise it doesn’t work. I don’t get to decide the rules nor to enforce them. We have a judge, a referee, an umpire for that.
Trouble is there isn’t one judge here, not even on the Supreme Court who gets it right 100% of the time. Chalk will fly up. That’s where there’s 9 of them. So 5 always wins over 4.
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
John 14:6
Now Tennis has "Cyclops" to prove whether the ball was in or out. The Word of God is like Cyclops, it pinpoints when our serves were out. That Umpire never makes a mistake.
Jesus is the One who sits on the Great White throne and will judge the Nations. He will use the Word of God to decide. There is an Authority outside ourselves to tell us what is right and what is wrong. What is in and what is out.
In Tennis, you always get a second chance if the first service was a fault. And you can have many second serves right up until the end and still win the match. The Umpire loves an honest player and so does the Crowd. Let's be honest with ourselves and with God and confess our faults.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
1 John 1:8-10
John McEnroe will always be known as "Superbrat", He wasn't one to admit his faults but he used to blame the Umpire instead. People do that with God don't they ? Don't be a "Superbrat".
