WE ALL NEED THE REAL JESUS

We don't need some dumbed down

   Godspell clown, mamby-pamby Jesus!

We need the real deal,

   our life and death shield

Who bruised His heel;

   while crushing satan's head

YOU NEED THE REAL LORD JESUS

Not 'Jesus the baseball player

   but ‘Jesus Cristo

      your hope-giving Savior

You need the real Lord Jesus

I NEED THE REAL LORD JESUS CHRIST

New Jerusalem’s 

   city Light, 

Shining forth 

   the Bread of life

ALL WILL WANT THE REAL JESUS

Our hero Who

   is coming back

His promise sure

His Word not slack

THE TROUBLE WITH TROUBLES

One of the earliest episodes of Startrek was entitled, The Trouble With Tribbles.  The storyline featured little furry creatures – called Tribbles - that were brought on board the USS Enterprize from some (fictitious) planet.  To the crew’’s dismay, these critters began multiplying so fast that eventually they became pests and had to be removed from the Starship.

Have you ever noticed that troubles – like tribbles – can be like just that?

What might be a minor annoyance can eventually become a catastrophe.

Like a snowball rolling across damp snow in winter, problems can attract more problems, resulting in greater difficulty than at first.
