GO HOME AND TELL: The Ultimate Oximoron

The Ultimate Oximoron

This past week our pastor said there were two words that could never be spoken together. He read from Acts 10 regarding Peter's rebuttal of the Lord's command to eat "unclean" food. How often I have said those words "No Lord" (or "Never, Lord" or "Not So, Lord"). He pointed out that we can say "Why Lord", "How Lord" or best yet, "Help Me, Lord" but two words that cannot be spoken together -
NO
LORD
We either say No or we say LORD. Period. (Ouch!)

Our Family

Why "Go Home and Tell"? Because for many years we pursued the "American Dream". The more we gained materially the less we had family-wise and spiritually. When we finally turned our lives over to the Lord, this scripture came back to me from a testimony I had heard many years earlier. And we made the decision to "GO HOME" as God had wanted us to all along. There is no greater calling, no more rewarding "career" than to be good spouses to each other and good parents to our children. We have a long way to go, but as the scripture says " ...and how HE has had MERCY on you". Thank you, Lord, for Your Mercy as we daily "Go Home and Tell".
