4-21 Ever Seen a Whale Fly?

Six Degrees of Separation… the idea that we are only six steps away from any person on earth… if you know one person (one step) and he knows another person you don’t know (two steps)… you get the picture. It is a nice thought but probably an urban myth. However I experienced it yesterday. My new renter Lacy was watching the work I was doing on her new room and timidly commented… I think I know someone you know… Joyce R. And to make the world a little smaller, Lacy is dating her son! What are the chances of all this? I guess they must be pretty good in God’s plan. He doesn’t want any separation from us! That’s why each of us need to let our lights shine in every degree of our relationships… because if we do, we’ll have six people witnessing to the same person without knowing it!
And here is another example… Susie wrote me yesterday “Dad has ALWAYS been my hero. Thank you for recognizing him (and others) for that. I know there will be many in heaven through the love and the ministry of Pine Grove. My family has certainly been blessed by being there! I think of the people who had an influence on my life as a child. Some have gone on to their reward in heaven, but what a blessing they have been! All have left a legacy for us. Many who have worshipped and served at Pine Grove will be hearing "well done, good and faithful servant!"

Today's Scripture reading is 1 Samuel 6; Proverbs 25; Romans 1

Today’s thought comes from 2 Peter 3:3 knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 4 and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation." 5 For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, 6 by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. 7 But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

Can you imagine a world of nothing but water? Waterworld! The thought was so intriguing that they made a movie about it. After the doomsday event of flooding caused by global warming melting the ice caps the ramshackle remnants of the human race now live in flotillas. It wasn’t a real blockbuster of a movie… but the real flood, now that was a blockbuster! If there was a real Noah who built a real ark that sailed to safety on a real worldwide flood, that would be powerful evidence for God’s Word and for the second coming! Did you know that they have found the fossil of an entire whale in Michigan! And in Quibec, 600 feet above sea level, they have found buried, fossilized whale bones! Did whales fly in prehistoric times? In Mountains all over the world one can find sea shells and other marine fossils. These include the Sierras, the Swiss Alps, the Himalayas and many more. How’d they get there? They swam! So how did the water get above Mount Everest? There is no way that there is enough moisture in the glaciers to bring the water level up above the highest mountains of some 29,000 feet above sea level! Global warming just won’t do it! The answer is that the pre-flood world was flatter. And that the flood was anything but a placid flood. The great fountains of the deep broke up. Great volcanoes exploded forming the mountains and walah, a new world was created. Once the flood was over we now had mountain ranges with whales on them! The whales didn’t have to swim 600 feet above sea level, the upper thrust of a newly formed mountain range carried them up! If there was a flood of biblical proportions, we can expect a second coming of biblical proportions! And by the way the real global warming we should be worried about will be just a little hotter than the one scientist are predicting. The heavens and earth will melt with fierce heat ushering in Christ’s kingdom… and oh, yes, the lake of fire will be the ultimate global warming! No air conditioning there! So reserve your seat in a place that is much cooler!

Dear God Almighty! You can do anything. When I look at the world and how you created it, and how you left footprints in the sand demonstrating your mighty works I stand amazed. I can do nothing else but fall down and worship you! Thanks for the warning of the flood. May it wake me up to live right before you.

My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.
