Signs Are Not Enough

This week I’ve been inquiring about repairing and or replacing our church sign.  I know God has used our sign to get His message out over the course of time.  Thanks to Larry & Sandy as well as others, we’ve had “fresh messages” these last few years.  “If Lost, use GPS – God’s perfect Salvation See John 3:16”,  “No Fake News Here, Just Good News” and “Jesus is our shelter during the storm” were just a few messages on our sign.  Unfortunately not everyone responds to “God’s signs”.

 

Film director Woody Allen has been quoted as saying, “If only God would give me some clear sign!  Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank.”

The reasons people give for not believing God often boil down to something they want God to do to prove Himself.  Sadly, in making “to do” lists for God, we miss seeing the countless things He has already done.

Even people who lived near Jesus and who witnessed His miracles asked for more proof.  Comparing Jesus to Moses, they asked, “What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You?…Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat’” (John 6:30-31).

The startling thing about their request is that just one day earlier Jesus had indeed given them bread.  He had fed 5,000 of them with the bread from one boy’s lunch! 

 

Paying attention to God’s signs, Pastor Larry
