5/27/09 THE POWER OF WORDS

MAY 27, 2009
Around 1961 I heard a teacher simply mention a story about time travelers who changed history because someone accidentally stepped off of the approved path, and killed a butterfly. I thought about that story for 48 years. (Recently found out its origin and learned it became a movie).

Though I only knew very little info, the story stayed with me. I have probably thought about that concept every year, since my freshman year in high school. I have wondered how the story developed and what changes took place, etc.

My point is, we can say things to people is such a way that they remember it for a long, long time. Hopefully someone else will come along and fill in the gaps of their understanding. If a Sci-Fi story can stick in a person's mind, certainly the Holy Spirit can "stick" the truth in a person's mind.

PLANT, PLANT, PLANT and trust God with the harvest.

1 Corinthians 3:6-7
(6)  I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
(7)  So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

Launch Out and Hold Fast,
Pastor David L. Gould
