A Chainsaw, Testosterone, and Christ

Three weeks ago I bought a chainsaw to clean up our yard. It was so much fun, as I have been struggling with a muscle disease since 2004, it was nice to do something "Manly." After cuttting litttle branches around the yard, I saw this tree that was dying, at the time it did not look that large. So, I thought to myself, "Hey, I have seen almost all the AXmen episodes on TV, I know how to cut down a tree." From that moment the brain was turned off and the testertone took over.

About half way through the cut, I got this sick feeling in my stomach, I looked up at this 100 ft. plus tree and saw a power line about 10 ft. away. OH NO. The testertone left the body and the brain came back into play. I thought to myself, I can't stop now..... so I prayed, then finished the cut.

The tree did not drop, it is what the AXmen call a "hanger." The tip of the tree gets caught on another tree, and just hangs there. Kim, my son, and I tied a rope around the tree and tried to pull it down..... No way.... it was stuck. After two hours of trying to pull it down I gave it to Jesus, and asked Him to take care of it, and apoligized for my stupidity!

Two weeks passed of me staring at this dumb tree, it would not come down! Finally, I had to do something, so I decided to cut a section from the bottom and pray it would drop right.

Have you ever been in a situation where you had NO control over it? This was one of those times, I could make the cut, but I had no control over where it would land. So, I made the cut, and here is the amazing part of the story.

As I finished the cut, the chainsaw lunged back and hit my leg, BUT, I had on cargo pants, so it hit the pocket and tore it up. The tree dropped perfectly, missing the power line, me, my wife, and our dog by about 2 inches. (This all happened in about a second) THANK YOU JESUS!!!

As I reflected on the event, I thought to myself, God in His infinte power had control over all these events, and He did them in less than a second. WOW. Then I thought that He is doing the same thing, all through the universe to millions, maybe billions of people. Then I thought even more deeper and reflected on how many times He has saved me and I did not even know. For example, I suppose to be somewhere, but was late, so I missed a head on collision?

How many time can you say, "Yes, God totally protected me in that situation?" Now think how many times He protected you, and you will never know. We have such an amazing, loving God!

Story of Christ, Confucius, and Buddha

Greetings! I found this story as I was reading The Fourfold Gospel by A.B. Simpson.

"A Chinaman was once telling the difference between Christ and Confucius and Buddha. He said: "I was down in a deep pit, half sunk in the mire and was crying for some one to help me out. As I looked up I saw a venerable, grey-haired man looking down at me. His countenance bore the marks of his pure and holy spirit. 'My son,' he said, 'this is a dreadful place.' 'Yes,' I said, 'I fell into it. Can't you help me out?' 'My son,' he said, 'I am Confucius. If you had read my books and followed what they taught, you never would have been here.' 'Yes, father,' I said, 'but can't you help me out?' As I looked up he was gone.

Soon I saw another form approaching, and another man bent over me, this time with closed eyes and folded arms. He seemed to be looking into some far-off, distant place. 'My son,' he said, 'just close your eyes and fold your arms and forget all about yourself. Get into a state of perfect rest. Don't think about anything that could disturb. Get so still that nothing can move you. Then, my child, you will be in such delicious rest as I am. 'Yes, father,' I answered, 'I'll do that when I am above ground. Can't you help me out?' But Buddha, too, was gone.

I was just beginning to sink into despair when I saw another figure above me, different from the others. He was very simple, and looked just like the rest of us, but there were the marks of suffering in His face. I cried out to Him: 'Oh, Father, can you help me?' 'My child,' He said, 'what is the matter?' Before I could answer Him, He was down in the mire by my side; He folded His arms about me and lifted me up, and then He fed and rested me. When I was well, He did not say, 'Now, don't do that again,' but He said, 'We will walk on together now;' and we have been walking together until this day."1

When Christ Will Return

A.B. Simpson was asked by a New York Journal reporter, "Do you know when the Lord is coming?"

A.B. Simpson answered "Yes" and gave this simple answer "The Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto the nations, and then shall the end come." Matthew 24:14 1

Gods411 believes in spreading the Gospel to all nations. WIth your help we have sent 1740 Bibles to countries where believing in Jesus can mean your life, plus we have paid for 24 hours of airtime with Air1 radio. Thank you for your support! Visit our Misson Page.

"Surely I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! (Rev. 22:20)
