iTouch

I will confess for her - my wife loves gadgets. Last Christmas my wife's gift (to herself) was an iTouch. How could she not love it - I must confess it is really cool. It holds music, movies, games, and interesting gadgets within the gadget... like a level... which is a tool (that's my love). Do you like popping bubble wrap? You can do that on your iTouch. The Virtual flute is one of the best selling apps for iPhone and iTouch to the tune of $800,000! Oh yea, you can also listen to and read your Bible. The iTouch provides innumerous ways to get in touch with your gadget inclination.
But how does God get in touch with us? If God desires to reveal Himself to man how does He go about the process? I believe that God revealed Himself to us through His Word. During the spring of 2009 I preached a series entitled iTouch. The three messages are titled: Inspiration, Inerrancy, and Illumination. If you missed them and are interested you can find them through our sermon audio site. www.sermonaudio.com/opbt or www.overlandparkbaptist.org
We have been discussing at church the importance of our faith. Faith is important to salvation. Faith helps us through the storm. Faith provides strength for service. Faith helps us to accomplish impossible missions. How do we increase our faith? We increase our faith through God's Word. Romans 10:17 says, "So then, faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." Love for the Word is primary to the Christian walk and relationship. I encourage you to get in the Word and let the Lord reveal Himself to you.

  1. I started a blog for our family too. I don't do much with it yet. My sister is faithful to updating hers! I love seeing my niece and nephews and having a glimpse into their lives since they live so far away. I'm starting to get into those gadgets too...I got Robert an iTouch for his birthday, and now I'm slowly starting to have some fun with it too! Have a great week at camp!
