Seamless
I am no techie. That's why I use Apple products. I agree with Steve Job's thinking that most guys are like me "tech idiots." The good thing about Macs and i-phones, pads and pods is the way they sync. They don't hang or trip you over and lose all your files. All because everything is made simple. Why do they work so well? They're designed to interface seamlessly.
The spiritual life is no different. No doubt Jesus is the bread from heaven as shown in my two earlier posts about the manna in Exodus. But if this is true, why is it that invoking His name does not always seem to work and make problems go away. That's because of the interface.
"Six days you are to gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will not be any.” Exodus 16:26
Our relationship with Jesus the bread of heaven only works through an interface of rest. That's the reason why God was training the Israelites not to gather manna on the seventh day. They needed to understand that partaking of manna meant resting and trusting in the bread that was more than sufficient. Jesus after all is also the Lord of the Sabbath.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
"Then Jesus said to them, 'The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.'” Luke 6:5
When we learn to rest in Christ, feeding on Him as the source of our eternal provision will always work seamlessly.
My Comments Policy
While my site offers visitors the ability to converse, I have a few ground rules so that our conversations will remain civil and courteous.
1. You must register in order to leave a comment. I don’t entertain pseudo, anonymous or bogus individuals. This site is my home (it has a Home Page, get it). I don’t let strangers who don’t introduce themselves into my home.
2. I love questions. I love them because a lot of times they are similar to someone else’s questions and can even trigger other questions from others. Questions also keep us all sharp. This is also why I respond to them as best as I can and at the soonest possible time. I believe that group answering benefits more people than private email exchanges.
3. We don’t have to agree. Debates are welcome. However, whether it is with me or any other visitors of my site, my rule is this: disagree if you must but keep things civil. That’s just how I run my home, and you are a visitor here. No shouting; I have seen it done in writing. No cursing and no insulting.
4. I reserve the right to delete your comments. Like I said, this is my home. I do not have an obligation to publish your comments. As a human being, you may enjoy the freedom to express your opinions on your own site but not on mine. To be specific, I will delete your comments if you post content that is in my sole opinion: (a) snarky; (b) off-topic; (c) libelous, defamatory, abusive, harassing, threatening, profane, pornographic, offensive, false, misleading, or which otherwise violates or encourages others to violate my sense of decorum, civility or any law, including intellectual property laws; or (d) “spam,” i.e. an attempt to advertise, solicit, or otherwise promote goods and services. You may, however, post a link to your site or your most recent blog entry.
5. You retain ownership of your comments. I do not own them and I expressly disclaim any and all liability that may result from them. By commenting on my site, you agree that you retain all ownership rights in what you post here and that you will relieve me from any and all liability that may result from those posts.
6. You grant me the license to post your comments. This license is worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive, and royalty-free. By posting comments on my site, you automatically grant me the right to store, use, transmit, display, publish, reproduce, and distribute your comments in any format, including but not limited to a blog, in a book, video, or presentation.
In short, my goal is to host interesting conversations with caring, honest, and respectful people. I believe this clear and simple comments policy will facilitate this.
