Thought
for the Month -- July 2008 Last month we looked at why there is a place called Hell and why people go there even though God loves
us. (See ‘thought for the month’ page for reference). While that explained how people end up in Hell, there is
another danger to the thought process of “If God loves me then why (insert negative item here)”
The problem is that while scripture tells us that God is love (1John
4:16), the Lord is so much more than that and we rarely hear about His other attributes. In my own scripture reading I have
come across 26 other attributes that describe who the Lord is, and those are only the ones I’ve
come across so far. That doesn’t count what I may have missed or haven’t gotten to yet. Here is a sampling of
other words the Bible uses to tell us who the Lord is: Creator,
Consuming Fire, Shrewd, Salvation, Judge, Generous, Wise, Jealous, Eternal, Strong, Gentle, Righteous, Light, Glorious, Unchanging,
Merciful, Vengeance Further these are feelings the Lord has had
in the Bible: Anger, Distress, Frustration, Pain, Pity, Indignation,
Love Again this isn’t even a complete list
but just a sampling of how the Lord is so much more than just love. It is worth noting these other parts of the Lord’s
character when we ask questions of Him. Perhaps the more we get to know who He TRULY is, instead of just picking out one of
His attributes, will give us a greater capacity to answer some of the questions that plague our everyday lives. And the Lord
tells us that if we look for Him WITH ALL OUR HEART, He will hear us and we will find Him. He is waiting to reveal himself
to you and give you insight into who He truly is…will you let Him show you? Deuteronomy 4:29-31: …you will seek the LORD your God, and
you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul. 30 When you are in distress, and all these things come upon you in the latter days, when you turn to
the LORD your God and obey His voice 31 (for the LORD your
God is a merciful God), He will not forsake you nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He
swore to them.
Hi and welcome to our site! We are glad you stopped by. Our ministry exists
to combine and share the passion and love of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ with our fondness for dirt track racing
and the people who love our sport. Whether you would be a fan, competitor or offical, we all share a common interest.
In Matthew 28:19-20 it says "Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations...teaching them to obey everything
I have commanded you." The Lord chose to bring us to the dirt track nation to share His love with you
that you might discover these truths:
1) All men have sinned and fall short of the Lord's perfect standard.
(Romans 3:23)
2) The punishment for sin is death and eternal seperation from the Lord,
also known as hell. (Romans 6:23) 3) The Lord made
a way for us to be reconciled to Him and paid the penalty for our sin. (John 3:16) "For God so loved the world, that
he gave His only begotten son,
that whosoever believes in Him
(Jesus) shall not die, but have EVERLASTING life." 4) You must take part in faith. (Romans 10:9) "That
if you confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will
be saved." For more on WHY we believe what we believe, please
see the My Testimony page. If you have any ideas, comments, questions,
concerns or contributions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We would LOVE to hear from you! Our info is below.
