Huber’s Hiccups
News for the City of Good
Neighbors from an Old Guy
named Norb Huber
Some times I read something
and I say, I could mess this all up
and put it in my bumbling blog.
So, instead of messing with it, I
will share it. It is written by Rev.
Gregory Seltz, the director of the
Lutheran Center for Religious Liberty
in Washington, DC. He tries to make sense
of our country’s workings from a Christian
perspective. Standing up for religious liberty
is becoming more and more difficult these
days. In the midst of all that is going on,
and all of our mess-ups, God still finds us.
NOW IS THE TIME FOR FAITH!
In a Charlie Brown cartoon, little brother
Linus is looking very forlorn. He asks big
sister Lucy, “Why are you always so anxious
to criticize me?” Lucy, looking very
self-righteous, replies, “I just think I have
a knack for seeing other people’s faults.”
Linus turns indignant. “What about your
own faults?” he asks. “I have a knack for
overlooking them,” says Lucy.
I think Lucy’s attitude is an endemic
condition of the sinful human
heart. What do you think? Be honest
now. It is so easy to see the faults
and sins of others, while virtually
ignoring the enormous brokenness
within ourselves. Human beings
tend to judge themselves by their
intentions, while judging others by
their actions. We have a natural
tendency to learn to live with our
pet sins, while becoming extremely irritated
and put off by the sins and weaknesses of
others. Sin ravages our relationship with God,
it devastates our relationships with others, and
it destroys a healthy sense of ourselves. The
Bible is clear, “The wages of sin is death”
(Romans 6:23). No cryogenic freezing, no
DNA tinkering, and no long-term health
program is going to reverse what starts in
our rebellious hearts. Now is the time to
realize the sobering news that God can’t
and won’t overlook our sin. He’s holy; He
cannot abide with sin. But He loves us and
doesn’t wish for us to be ravaged eternally
by our sin. Now is also the time to hear the
Your name is
the backbone of
your business.
