''Top O' The
Morning to All of You!''
Get to fixin' that ''Cup O' Joe'' now, and lets
settle down for a 'Short' spiel this Sunday Morning!..Are ya settled in
that chair yet!,..Come on now,..take a ''Load-Off''.. and lets set our
site on the ''Stars!''
 ...
Remember
'Yester-Year' that O'l famous 'pic-up' line..''Whats Your Sign!''
Yea,.I got a
'sign for ya' some-one would say as they extended the
''High-Sign'',..You know,..the 'finger- up your nose' sign!
 ...
Times back
when were sure ''funny'',..kinda like having a ''mood-ring'' or wearing
the ''Peace-Sign'',..Everyone wanted to 'Believe so much' in Something
then...
My O'l Cousin
Alex and I went to ''Haight-Ashbury'',..Looked at all those
''Flower-Power'' Hippie folks with 'Flowers in their Hair',..Free-Love
and all that goes with it...I think it was called..'Coodies!'..Don't
remember to much about it though,..We came..we saw,.we laughed then
Left...
Went off to
''War!''...Thought it would be ''Safer!''...Should'a got ''Cooties''
''Whoa!''..getting' a little ''Distracted'' there,..Let me 'Backtrack'
and start over with today's ''message!''...
''What's Your
Sign''...
I was up
pretty late the other night,..catching up on 're-runs' of the 'Deadliest
Catch',..and just when Capt.Sig got a call..''Man-Overboard!''..a
commercial comes on...''Hi there,..want to know Your Future?...Want to
see in ''Love or Money'' is in Your Future,..call
1-800-555-1212...Ha!...
Money in MY 'future!..Love
in my Future to boot!...Guess Sherrie in my life as my ''Beloved
Wife'',..and a Solid Retirement check is gonna' vanish!..I'd better call
the 1-800 number and see MY Future!
  ..
Don't be a ''Jumpin''
up n' down now,..Of Course I didn't call,.But they sure make it look
real ''Inviting!''..We talked awhile about ''Wizards'' and all that
stuff a bit ago..got ''Scripture'' about that to boot!..So,..what is the
Bible have to say about ''Astrology?''
Well,..the
Bible actually Agrees with ''Star-Searching and Star
Gazing'',..Planets lining up and all that,..Stars setting up patterns
and such,..BUT!...
God set them
up there for ''One Purpose'',..and one purpose only..Navigation!
Ask any good
Sailor,..ask any Pilot!..They use them to get from point ''A'' to point
''B''!..
But
alas,..back before Jesus came,..they had ''soothsayers,..witches-palm
readers'' and
such,..They decided to make ''Signs'' that Mean ''Everything''..and
really mean ''Nothing''...From Lion's to Fish,..from Cattle to Birds!...
O.K..What does
the Bible say!...
Isaiah -47 :
13-15..''Let your astrologers come forward , those stargazers who make
predictions month by month, let them save you from what is coming upon
you. Surely , they are like stubble,. the fire will burn them up.
They cannot
even save themselves from the power of the flame...Each of them goes on
in his error, there is no one who can save you''...
Yup,..I'm a
Leo with something rising in my ''bicuspid'' or sump-tin in that
order,..I
was to come into some ''unexpected'' riches,..I ran down to my local
store,.bought a ''lottery ticket'',.Next morning..$5.00 poorer,..and my
''Phone-bill'
came!...NO
''unexpected lotto money though!..Hey,.I found a 'Nickle'' on the
sidewalk though!..Let me ''Re-think'' this over now!...
Naw,..better not!
You
see,..''Scripture'' clearly condemns astrology as a practice,..In
Deuteronomy,.
the
Babylonians used it to fight a ''War'',..they were ''wiped-out!''...
''Hey Pastor
Frank'',..Didn't it say that the 'star' guiding the Magi was used to
'foretell the birth' of Christ?...NOPE!..it was used to ''Pronounce''
His Birth!
Case
note,..The ''Tragedy'' at 911,..All those people who perished,..Was that
in their ''Horoscope?''...That was more of a ''Horror'' to put it
bluntly....
Horoscopes
might be used for ''Entertainment'',.but in Life's reality,..it is used
for Navigation,..Day being Separated from night,..No more..no less...
I guess if you
want to spend what is it a min. of $30.00 to have someone look at your
palm and tell you your ''Life-line is long,..or short'' or ''Hmmm'' you
have a 'Curious' division here,.for five dolla' more I go deeper!
The only
''Palm'' I want to read is my greasy palm when Im'a cookin' spaghet!
Enough of
this,..I'm ''Gazing'' at an ''Empty Cup O' Joe'' here!,..Time for me to
''Predict''
how long my ''Mr. Coffee'' machine will make me another cup!..
Enough
said,..I leave you with these ''Parables''..
Ezekial..12:24..''There
will be no more false visions or pleasing prophecies inside the nation
of Israel, but I, the Lord, will speak, what I say will be done''
''It is better
to look ahead and prepare, than to look back and despair''
''Mistakes are
lessons learned''
Till next
week,..Sherrie and I Pray for You All,..
God Bless
''Our Nation'' and All Who Stand for it!...
And may We
Always be able to say..''May God Bless America''
For it is ''In
God We Trust'',..Take a Second,..Just Send God a little ''Thank you''
Pastor
Frank..the ''Preacher'' n' Sherrie
