The October challenge, find amazing parts of theology and
then each day bring one paragraph to you the reader about that.
Sometimes when it is late at night, and a singular
message movie is on, like this evening, and this
movie, “The Postman,” a Kevin Kostner movie,
which while it will rankle some of my “thou
shalt not watch R rated movies” folks- I watch,
because it’s after the horror of apocalypse
message is a powerful one. Yes a person has to
look past some pretty shocking realities portrayed
in the movie, but isn’t that life, finally, really?
Here is what frightens me during those times,
the distinct possibility that death won’t greet me,
and the second coming will not have occurred,
but instead, the fragile and delicate threads which
bind this great nation of America together, will
come unraveled in such a way that leaves us
scattered, shattered, sheltered but without hope.
This is just one paragraph, but bear in mind that
theologically the end of time may happen a little
differently than what folks are commonly
talking about; and the average way you hear it
laid down, don’t make it so- and what is most
dangerous of all is pretending that we’re ready-
the most frightening fact of all is that we not
only aren’t prepared for most disasters, we
have actually deluded ourselves to believe
that we won’t survive them- see it’s horrible
when loved ones die, when all around you is death,
but what’s most horrible of all is when you live,
but you wish, you hadn’t- because you could have
been prepared, but you chose to bury your head
in the clouds instead of working the harshness
of the sands. Don’t take my word for it, just ask
anyone who lived through 9/11 – who got out
of the towers, ask anyone who got out of the
most insane Hurricane in recent human history-
or anyone who survived the countless horrific
disasters like Mt. St. Helens, or on a global
scale, where the ill preparedness accurately
accused the U.N. of their total neglect of the
need for it, ask anyone who survived India’s
horrific Tsunami’s- or China’s incredible floods
where the body count is still not clear- ask
them- if they’d prepare better today?

Did you look at yourself in the mirror this morning?
How closely did you look? Let’s say, not all that closely,
why not, because, with few changes you’ve seen that
same face for your whole life, it changes very little
except with the years. You have come to
depend upon it. God, as a matter of theological
importance, can be depended upon, and here is the
interesting thing, it isn’t so much what God does
that can be depended upon, but what God
doesn’t do. You and I are alive today because God
chose to allow this world to continue to exist.
You and I are alive today because God made
a deliberate choice for us to exist,
and to continue to exist, and the simplest
of truths is, we have become used to being
able to depend upon God not to do the drastic
reality ending sort of things, haven’t we?
Yet here is the subtle theological point of the day, He can,
whenever He chooses to, such is what it means to be, God,
and yet we continue; and my suggestion to you is that this
theological concept become known between us as God’s grace.
It isn’t what God does -it is, what He graciously doesn’t do.
2Ti 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called [us]
with an holy calling, not according to our works,
but according to his own purpose and grace, which
was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
