Well, I have finally gotten the church’s website back up and running. For some reason I could not post my sermon or my devotional two weeks ago. In the process of trying to correct this, I messed it up even more. It is a good lesson to learn. Most of the time I try to do things on my own, even if I have little or no knowledge of how to fix things. I figure I am smart enough to figure things out on my own. And when I try, many times I fail and have to call in the experts to fix not only the initial problem, but correct what I made more difficult along the way. That is what it took to correct this website. I had to call the experts (several times) because I made things worse.
The same is true about our spiritual lives. When we try to fix them on our own, we find that we cannot fix the problem and sometimes make matters worse when we fail to fix them. We need to call on the expert, God, (several times) in order to get our lives back online. Do not wait until things are too difficult to fix. Call on the expert today.
