Bible Dust v Paper Cuts

 
Picture
​The word of God is sharper than a two edged sword, it penetrates even to the soul and spirit, joint and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.  Hebrews 4:12

I claim this scripture anew today.. BUT.. I observe even those of us in the church too often spend too little time reading, studying or fully living the truths taught in God's word. Any bible resemblance to a sword in America is sadly reduced to a plastic butter knife found at any church potluck... or a 'spork'
​

One of my favorite gifts EVER was a Bible presented to me by my wife on Christmas 2000. I truly love my Bible and it is precious to me.. but in the harried pace of life I sometimes don't spend the time reading God's word as I should.

It truly is a trick of the devil and my cluttered mind that I do not spend more time in the book I believe is the inspired word of God

Picture
As I write this email  we are still a bit  all things Covid-19 where our country and this world are on high alert to the health risks associated with this new variant of the flu. 

Another health risk maybe not covered by my annual flu shot is the risk of inhaling DUST from a seldom used bible. 

Our country needs to blow the dust off these Bibles risking Bible Dust Lung, and open them risking Paper cuts that are sharper than any two-edged sword to find TRUTH which is our ONLY WAY back to God. 


Picture
​
I do confess .. 
the Bible includes more than its fair share of arduous facts, BUT it is much more than Church trivia, and is NOT a collection of fairy tales and/or folk lore.  

Our Bibles contain the timeless truths of God and Chronicles the history of His providence for mankind.

Simply by reading our bibles we can begin to grasp His greatness, love, and Amazing Grace for mankind both from the Garden through today. 




Picture
Next, let's address a couple age old EXCUSES for not reading my Bible.
  1. I am sooooo busy!  
    - my current levels of TV watching begs to differ.
  2. Bible reading is as tedious and laborous as a root canal.
    - Hmmm, I have no problem scouring over the baseball box scores to find which overpaid, pampered, steroid injected, ballplayer had a big game, so I am embarrassed ever to complain again about any difficult to understand Levitical Laws  



My prayer is that finding your Bible on Sunday morning is not as easy as looking for in the back seat of your car where you left it last Sunday.  

If you are guilty of underachieving Bible reader moments, there is no better time to start a Bible Resolution than today. Don't wait for the New Year. Also, note.. Some time is better than NO time. Meaning 5 minutes is better than ZERO minutes, and I believe God blesses our efforts to know Him better in ways that are BEYOND OUR DREAMS.  I have found the more I read the more I want to read.

Picture

May God find His followers faithfully seeking Him with 
His Word. May this knowledge of God's word unite us not divide us,  and may we experience His love for us  and in return share this love with this angry hurting world. 

Blessings

Jeff


note: 
If you are worried about Bible dust lung put on your slightly dusty favorite Covid mask from 2020, and if you are worried about paper cuts.. band aids are in the medicine cabinet.  In both cases you will live to tell the tale.

Field of Streams? (Ge 6-9)

 
The movie Field of DREAMS tells the story of an Iowa farmer hearing voices telling him “If you build it, they will come”. So he plows under his corn crop and build a baseball field where the ghosts of old pro players, including Shoeless Joe Jackson, would play.  Now of course, the neighbors and the town folk think he is nuts, and that he is risking his farm for the sake of old baseball players that no one can see but himself.

Sounds similar to the story of Noah? The Bible tells us that Noah was a righteous man, and faithful to God in a world of sin.  
​
Picture
The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. Genesis 6:5-6

​
and so God tells Noah, If you build it, they will come.  Genesis 6:13-21 (field of streams paraphrase) in this case IT is an Ark, and THEY is a literal ‘boat-load’ of animals.

If you think an Iowa farmer got funny looks plowing under his crop/livelihood, so that he could build a ballpark, that's nothing compared to Noah building a humungous boat in the middle of a desert.  

It became Noah’s 
“Field of Streams”.


So Noah builds this ark out of GOPHER wood (I think this is a type of Cyprus tree).  It is 450 feet, 75 feet wide, and 40 feet tall as designed by God. ​Please note the Ark Project was constructed by 600 yr. old  Noah with the assistance of  his 100 year old sons.  

Of course this Desert Ark attracted some serious ridicule, or at the very least a few chuckles and smirks from the town folk. ​
​
Picture

ALL ABOARD!
Anyways, the ark is built
, and then the collection and housing of the animal pairs begins.


Let me add a little perspective here.. 
  • If MY DOG was in line to board the ark, and spied Mr. & Mrs. Squirrel about to board.. he would be have to chase them and gone would be any chance of him getting back in line before the rain falls.
  • Then there is.. THE CAT. There is a reason why the phrase 'like herding cats' is used to describe near impossible tasks, and so it goes without saying boarding two cats onto a big boat filled with numerous other animal sounds and smells is not a given.

Below I have illustrated other potential boarding issues.

​GRAB YOUR UMBRELLA
Once the animals were all boarded, God seals the Ark and the skies opened up which not one local Weather channel predicted, and those left behind did perish.  These flood waters go higher and higher until on I believe the 40th day the highest mountains are covered.

​I know the question sometimes arises as to whether or not this was a local or world widen flood. 

What I do know is it was a WHOLE  LOT OF  WATER.



Picture
LIFE AT SEA..
So now there is a time where God floats the boat. Loaded with animals of every kind I cannot imagine how this all worked out.  I am challenged to get my one rescue dog out several times a day to ensure he does not have an accident on the carpet so 'say-no-more' bout' waste management on this sea sick petting zoo.

But on the bright side the excursions and amenities not found on any other Cruise line, and since they would be in the Ark for I believe 371 days, they might as well make the best of what Noah's Luxury Cruise had to offer..
  • Good time for FISHING, (Wicked Tuna), or
  • maybe WATER-SKI, or
  • enjoying the simple irony of having two GOLDFISH on the Ark, and
  • let's not forget Noah's summit of MT EVEREST  way before Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay in 1953.

Picture

ALL ASHORE THAT'S GOING ASHORE!
Finally the the waters subsided and the ark settled on one of the mountains of Ararat .

Once it became safe to leave the Ark, the animals were let go,  must have been as interesting as the boarding), and shortly there after the first pooper scooper was invented.

In all seriousness now, this was the new beginning for mankind, and God signed with a RAINBOW His promise that he would never destroy the Earth by flood again.

​
Noah was a righteous man, and lived to be an incredible 950 years, just 19 years less than longevity king Methuselah.  


ONE CRAZY BOAT RIDE..
To be honest
 the story of Noah, the Ark, the boarding of every animal two by two, all culminating with a Flood killing all life leaves me scratching my head.  I believe, but can I tell you how it happened?.. NOPE.  

One of my favorite verses is Isaiah 55:8,9 where God declares, “My ways are not your ways.  Neither are my thoughts your thoughts.  For as the Heavens are higher than the Earth, so are my ways than your ways and my thoughts than yours.” 

So again.. while I don’t understand – I still believe! ​
​ 
In summary, the story of Noah has today often is told as a children’s story. Christian Gift Shops have cute figurines of Noah, and his Ark all filled with smiling animals. Also, in my cartoon world the story of Noah's Ark is loaded with silly fodder.  BUT the story of Noah has a sobering message balancing perfectly God’s providence for the faithful and obedient with harsh judgment of a wicked world. 

The story of Noah and the Ark is our story
This is a world of great sin where the hearts of man (just like in Ge 6:5-6) appears to be on evil all the time. The Great News is those who love God receive His Amazing Love & Grace…

but again realize..  
HOW WE CONDUCT OUR LIVES MATTERS ETERNALLY. if we choose self over God than our eternity is the same as those outside the Ark. We may not get all wet by a supernatural Great Flood, but we will be just as lost, just as judged, and just as damned.

Picture
May God bless each of you to be faithful and obedient to God while living in this self indulgent world.

Now that's.. OLD! (Ge 5)

 
Picture
​I found a web site which lists the oldest people living today. When I checked it I read of a lady who was 115, and another that was 125, and then some lady I think from Peru that was supposedly 140!  There was a picture of this lady and, yes, she looked every bit of 140.  Of course I am not sure how we can really know she is that old (count her wrinkles like the rings on a tree?), but there is no doubt she is very, very old.

​So segue back to Genesis after Cain kills his brother Abel we move on to a ‘a whole-lotta-begetting’ going on. God’s command to “go forth and multiply” was one command mankind took to heart well beyond just knowing their times tables!

But old in Genesis is a relative thing.  People in Genesis times lived to be sometimes 800 or 900 years old.


Picture
Adam lived to be 930 years old after God created him on the 6th day Genesis 5:5. His son Seth was 912 Genesis 5:8, Noah later on in Genesis we learn lived to be 950 years, and the long in the tooth award winner is .. Methuselah... the oldest man in the history of .. HISTORY. Methuselah was cut down in the prime of life at the age of 969 Genesis 5:25-27

I figure if I eat my veggies, drink milk, get 8 hours of sleep a night along with daily exercise and in only 906 more birthdays I will have Methuselah beat.  That will be in the year.. 2928 when I am neighbors with George Jetson.

​They say you are only as old as you feel and I find this to be very little encouragement some days when feeling 'Genesis5esque' old.  Maybe not 
Methuselah old, but at least somewhere in the mid 500s.  and to think they did not have Ibuprophen.


Picture
The other interesting pattern of this was how old people were still.. um.. still.. ‘begetting’. While one of today’s serious society concerns is teen pregnancies, this was not the problem with society recorded in Genesis. 

In Genesis 5 it was not unusual for a couple to wait 70 to 500 years old before starting a family.  I guess those 500 years were spent playing golf, world travel using up trips to Hawaii, paying off the mortgage(s), credit card debt, or crossing hot yoga off their bucket list. 

Maybe women in Genesis 5 wanted a career as a shepherdess, garden mogul, or working as a Mary Kay Cosmetics specialist before settling down and having kids. ​

Note: This parenting trend even held true even after Noah came onto the scene. 


Picture
At age 500 Noah had three sons, and when he was about 600 years old when the Lord told him to start his Desert Ark Marina, and from what I read his sons helped with this process. 

Ok, so picture this - 600 year old Noah, and his three 100 year old sons building a very big (BBIIIGGG) boat.  Five hundred years old!?  That would be like Columbus still being around, and working with those old people I found on that web site to build an ark.  Of course Columbus may understand boats, BUT.. HE’S VERY OLD AND VERY DEAD, and those people from the website are VERY OLD and will be dead soon enough.


I do believe these stories we read about in Genesis, but in our modern world I have trouble picturing this Old Testament culture.  But then again, I suppose IF Noah reappeared in the desert near the city of Las Vegas (aka Sin City), he would most likely sigh and say, “I better get busy building another ark in the desert again because society is certainly going to Hell.” (insert pun here).

​Let me close these early chapters of Genesis with a few more images with a Back Pew perspective. 
  • Before Salt Lake City Lamech  was living with his daily double, 
  • Enoch walked with God, and was no more. And finally
  • the Nephilum. The Hebrew word for Nephilum  is “Fallen ones (maybe angels who smoked)”.. and they were certainly fallen... “fallin’” for the women of Earth – and God was not pleased.​
Picture

​
So while it is hard for me to grasp the fact that I am 64.. a Methuselah like age (969) boggles the mind.  But like so many things in the Bible, just because I don’t understand does not make it not true.  

​From Genesis through Revelation I find the evidence and promise of God’s love and grace.
From the Garden to the Flood to the Cross  all the way through life today sitting in my Back Pew there is this promise and evidence of a loving God.

May God bless each of you today in ways that are beyond your dreams. I pray you place your faith and hopes in the one true God of our Bibles.

After the Garden (Ge 4)

 
Picture
So Adam and Eve leave Eden, and start a family with their two fine boys Cain & Abel. The Bible does not tell us too much about the boys lives, but that Cain liked veggies, whilst Abel tended animals.  These both seemed like wonderful career choices as Silicon Valley technology opportunities were limited at this time. 

All is fine and good livin' La-vi-la-Genesis until Cain and Able were to bring their gifts to the Lord. God accepted Abel’s gift, but rejected Cain’s.  For this Back Pew cartoonist, this provided an interesting moment between these boys debating the health risks of too much red meat. 



Picture

​Admittedly Cain did overreact when his ‘garden salad gift’ was rejected by God by killing his brother.  No more Red Bull energy drinks for Cain.

Next, God asks Cain "What happened to your brother?" Of course Cain replies with the now infamous line "Am I my brothers keeper?”  


So there you have it. Adam, Eve, a Garden neglected, and two boys that fight. God's creation is certainly off to a fine start. ​


Picture
Sin and the fall of man was inevitable, and was the result of man's free will choice just as our sins are.. but moving from apple eating to murder was a big jump on the sin meter. 

​The consequences of sin for Adam & Eve was they were evicted from The Garden of Eden, and now for Cain became a homeless wanderer. 

THE GREAT NEWS is that neither Adam's eating apples, Cain killing his brother, or any other creative sin devised in the heart of man is beyond the redemption found in GOD'S GRACE.


Picture
My prayer is we all learn from these Genesis lessons of free will rebellion gone horribly bad.  Most of us I like to think will never commit murder, but our sins great and small are all selfish rebellions of emotions and ignorance fly in the face of God's will. 

When this happens, Repent and accept God's free gift of grace. If we don't repent we will be like Cain.. a homeless wanderer of this Earth and missing the greater purpose and a greater connection with God intended for each of us.

Blessings

Jeff (not a murderer, but still a sinner) Larson

note: Too many churches today do not teach our sins require repentance. The phrases "I was wrong", and "I am sorry" seemed to be skipped over and replaced with an 'easy grace' , and 'be a better you' message. God's Grace and love is truly AMAZING, but the need to get right with God via repentance cannot be overlooked.

The Garden Eviction (Ge 2-3)

 
Picture
After God created the world He placed Adam and Eve in the beautiful Garden of Eden (aka paradise), and in the center of this garden was the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil Ge 2:17 which Adam and Eve were forbidden to eat of its fruit. 

​Next, Genesis 2:19-20 Now out of the ground the Lord God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him. 

So Adam did his best Dr. Doolittle imitation and talked to the animals naming them one by one. What a daunting task. But realizing 'in the beginning' the streaming library on Netflix was limited, there was no Sunday football, AND.. this task from God was assigned before Eve arrived with her unending 'Honey Do Lists' leaving plenty of time to name a 'couple' animals.

THE GREAT SNAKE INFESTATION of 6000? Genesis 3:1-7 Ok, there was just one Snake, aka Satan but he tempts Eve into eating the forbidden fruit (Ge 2:17) and sharing it with Adam.

So they both eat the apple, and suddenly feel a draft like never before cuz they were big time naked!
​
Naked and Uncomfortable like a Discovery Channel docu-series, and more uncomfortable than a hippy in 1967 holding his a DRAFT notice from Uncle Sam! 

For the hippy, he burned his draft card and headed to Oh Can-a-daaa Eh!, to hide from Uncle Sam while 6000 years before this Adam & Eve naked in a draft and so head off to hide from God.


In the Garden  there was no Old Navy, Walmart, or even Good Will to pick a wardrobe from so Adam & Eve being naked went for next ‘obvious??’ line of clothing.. FIG LEAVES?  

Ge 3:7 Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths.

But.. this 'Fig Leaf' line of fashion was short lived due to Leaf blight, squirrels, and the fact that Fig Leaves were not at all flattering. No woman in 6000 bc when asked how she looks, wants to hear the words.. "You look like a SHRUB".

​And now seeing the bigger picture outside of the world of fashion, Adam & Eve realized life would never be the same. Sin caused a host of irrational emotions in Eve like .. "Adam, am I am the only woman in your life?"

Picture
Picture
Picture
Ge 3:8-9 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”​

Naked and Afraid Adam & Eve were playing 'Hide & Seek' with God. This is where the age old 'Blame Game' was first used. First Adam blamed Eve, Eve blamed the snake, and the snake did not have a leg (literally) to stand on! and God was not amused. Ge 3:12-13

Their crime was dubbed the ORIGINAL SIN resulting in the Snake being cursed, while Adam and Eve EVICTED from the Garden all while you could hear Willie Nelson playing 'On the Road Again' in the background.  ​​Ge 3:24

​
In the weeks to follow a forensic investigation corroborated the entire Genesis 3 account.

Picture

Note: Since this 'original sin' our own flawed nature continues to compromise the paradise God intends for us. Maybe not a Garden of Eden paradise but certainly we live in a world stunted by sin. 
Adam & Eve chose to disobey God, ate the forbidden fruit and then hid from God. While we may not live anything close to Paradise, the 'sin parallel' is the same.. our willful choice that separate us from God, and we hide!  

GOOD NEWS IS.. God's Grace is as they say AMAZING. He will accept us back after any big or small prodigal moments when we truly repent. BUT please note.. God will not be mocked.. an insincere whoopsie attitude towards our sin habits move us further away from the safety and blessings found in God's Grace.  No one wants to be EVICTED by God.

My prayer is we all pursue God with a greater love evidenced by our obedience. He desires the very best for us, and to realize His Word is a light to guide us in this dark world.

Blessings

God Spoke, and it was GREAT

 
Picture
Most everyone agrees after a quick cursory glance and a collective cringe the year 2020 was not good. Then 2021 was another dumpster fire year with record inflation,  COVID is still being COVID, along with a society that cannot even agree that there are two genders or if gender is a fluid state of being.  ARGH!

So I am praying for a 2022 and not even shooting for a good year.  I would settle for the dumpster fire to be put out.

But for today let me bring you back to simpler times IN THE 'very' BEGINNING when God created .. it was good!  ​Let's review.


Picture
​Genesis 1 - In the beginning, God spoke the universe into existence.  Some witnesses claimed they heard a loud crackling sound like thunder. Kind of a BANG, a really really  BIG BANG! 

Note: I am not here to discuss Old Earth v New Earth theories. This would be above the pay grade of this cartoonist, but what I will say again is .. 

God created and it was GOOD!

Genesis 1:1-31 To summarize, this daunting project was completed in 6 days where Day 1:  DAY , NIGHT , the SKY were spoke into existence by our Almighty Creator. 

​Those first 6 days His creation included the sun, stars, land, waters, and all the creatures in the sea and on land were created. 

Genesis 2:1-3 Then fast forward to 7th day and God rested. He did not even watch football. In contrast I installed a bathroom floor in our town-home recently and I rested on the 5th, 6th, and 7th days and while it turned out nice it was not Hubble Telescope spectacular like God's Universe.
​

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Next, to rule over the lands and seas God created MAN​ Genesis 2:7 in His own image from the dust of the Earth followed by creating WOMAN from man's 'spare rib' declaring it is not good for man to be alone. Genesis 2:18
​
To which Adam declared.. "Hey beautiful, where have you been all my life?"   

​Then God commanded Adam and Eve to "be fruitful and multiply".. to which Adam quickly started studying his times tables.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture

This creation story is all recorded into the Bible book of Genesis. While many Cosmologists believe the Big Bang was the creation of EVERYTHING from NOTHING followed by billions of years of random collisions and explosions resulted in our ever expanding universe, all the planets including Earth including life with all it's complexities.  

​Ok, I believe you can collide a chocolate bar with a jar of peanut butter and end up with a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup.. but this Universe has too moving parts + complexities that are bound together with rules and order for me to believe EVERYTHING came from NOTHING.

Important Note: I believe most Cosmologists 'do drugs'. Just my opinion.. with a smirk.

Picture
I choose instead to believe there must be an intelligent design behind creation. I believe in a divine creator that exists outside the confines of time and space. I believe this Intelligent Design is described in the Bible Book of Genesis.

​May God bless each of you greatly in your pursuit of truth.

​This is important stuff, and a foundation for life. If there is a God then the pursuit of Him is a greater science than can be found looking through any microscope, telescope, or on a petri dish


Picture
​Understanding our Creator is to go boldly beyond any Star Trek five year journey exploring his creation.

So no matter if you are in the 6,000 year old Young Earth Camp, or you believe in a 4.5 billion year Old Earth let's agree God created and IT WAS GOOD, maybe even GREAT.

.. and certainly better than 2020, or 2021. Just sayin'

Word of God Speak (Leviti what?)

 
Picture
If we took a poll on our favorite books of the Bible, you may hear the Gospel of John, Psalms, Proverbs, James, Philippians, but I am quite sure Leviticus is NOT in the top 10, or 50, or maybe 65 books of the Bible. But I have discovered Leviticus Rocks!

No I am not talking about an archeological dig uncovering 'rocks' dated back to the time of Leviticus.. I am talking about recent important lessons God's Spirit has taught me while reading the book of Leviticus.  

Picture
​Leviticus.. All those seemingly archaic lists of dos and don'ts regarding the bugs, rats, owls, or lizards you cannot eat do NOT make Leviticus a page turner unless you are in a through the Bible reading plan and by turning pages to get on to the next book of the Bible.  Unfortunately the next book is the book of Numbers which starts out with a Census taken on the twelve tribes of Israel.  "ROLL CALL, everybody get in line and count off by one.  Zzzzzzz...."

For a number of years now I have made the good habit of reading through my Bible each year. For me, reading through my Bible provides me context that I otherwise may miss. I do also enjoy other studies, books by popular Christian authors past and present, BUT I find God speaks to me best when it is just me and His word. 


Picture
And this year I am loving Leviticus. Livin' la-vida-Leviticus! 

Leviticus deals with the significant for the nation of Israel in the years right after being miraculously freed (including the parting of the Red Sea) from slavery in Egypt. These Levitical laws included the details of animal sacrifices to the Lord, strict requirements for priests, punishments by stoning, and much more. All these and more are difficult to fathom while living in our modern world of 'cheap grace' that follows celebrity preachers with a what happens in 'America' stays in 'America' attitude.


Picture
But this year reading Leviticus God spoke to me regarding his Holiness, and the importance of these animal sacrifices done in great detail was a true reverence to God. Ok, today in our land of PETA, animal sacrifices are not easy to grasp, but Levitical sacrifices were written for a world much different than ours, BUT..

the same reverence for God and doing what is pleasing in the Eyes of the Lord is still relevant.  But for today, Jesus took the place of these sin offerings.



Picture
Even the scriptures on stoning in certain situations I understand now making sense. In one case a man blasphemed God, and was to be put to death by stoning.  Today, that line for stoning those who blaspheme God would be very long and run waaay around the corner. And I agree on face value STONING seems very harsh.  

​But think of it.. In a time shortly after this man was miraculously delivered from slavery in Egypt by the very hand of God now decides to blaspheme Him.  I don't pretend to know the mind of God, but this man would be in my eyes the poster child for mocking God, and...  

GOD IS NOT MOCKED. 
Leviticus 24:10-23, Galatians 6:7 

I think without the stoning part our society angers our loving God with our cavalier smug attitude judgments of God himself. We don't just have questions about God, we judge Him. 
We lower in our eyes the creator of this world who exists outside time in space to our blip in time existence.  Think of it, the very creator of this universe being deemed wrong by our 'pea brained' insights on justice. We judge God as not loving even though mankind's free will is the root cause of all pain and death. WHAT ARROGANCE.
​

Picture
Then laws about qualifications for being a High Priest. .. 18 No man who has any defect may come near: no man who is blind or lame, disfigured or deformed; 19 no man with a crippled foot or hand, 20 or who is a hunchback or a dwarf, or who has any eye defect, or who has festering or running sores or damaged testicles. Leviticus 21:18-20 

​
Ok, as a cartoonist I of course find humor in this, BUT.. in truth the importance of the High Priest being set apart and special speaks to today's cavalier by comparison selection of preachers (men of God). 


This world of is a glut of celebrity preachers, hot preachers, easy grace preachers, new age / progressive preachers making these Levitical laws on High Priests wise by comparison to our low standards for today's 'supposed' men of God.

​Ok, I am not sure how well this blog is received today.  I don't believe I have convinced many to make Leviticus their favorite book of the Bible, but I pray what I have shared gives some much needed context for this often cringe-worthy book of Old Testament law.

Picture
There is a song by Mercy Me, Word of God Speak.. let me share the lyrics of this song below, and I pray these words give us perspective on the Power of God's Word and His Spirit in using these words to speak life into us.

"Word Of God Speak"
I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay
The last thing I need is to be heard
But to hear what You would say
[CHORUS]
Word of God speak
Would You pour down like rain
Washing my eyes to see
Your majesty
To be still and know
That You're in this place
Please let me stay and rest
In Your holiness
Word of God speak
I'm finding myself in the midst of You
Beyond the music, beyond the noise
All that I need is to be with You
And in the quiet hear Your voice
[REPEAT CHORUS 2x]
I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay
Link to Play song-> Word of God Speak

My prayer today is for each of us this year to put in our most high regard, God's Word. I pray we are quiet enough to hear God speak to us by His Spirit these words of Life.. even in Leviticus

Word of God Speak!

Blessings

The Garden Party is RUINED!

 
Picture
After creating the world God placed Adam and Eve in the beautiful Garden of Eden (aka paradise), and in the center of this garden was the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil Ge 2:17 which Adam and Eve were forbidden to eat of its fruit. A Great setting for a Garden Party, until.. it was ruined.

So how do you ruin a Garden Party?
Rain, snow, gloom of night (mailman stuff), or maybe forget to send out the invites to your party?  Of course snow & ice might happen here in Minnesota (paradICE), but not in paradise (Eden), so how Adam & Eve ruin this Garden Party?

Picture
PETS?
Genesis 2:19-20 
19 Now out of the ground the Lord God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him. 

So as Senior Garden Engineer Adam did his best Dr. Doolittle imitation and talked to the animals naming them one by one. What a daunting task, but 'in the beginning' the streaming library on Netflix was limited, there was no Sunday football, and this task was assigned before Eve arrived with her 'Honey Do List(s)' so he had plenty of time to name a 'couple animals'.

Ok, admittedly all the animals are not pets, but I know my one little rescue dog could get into the right amount of mischief to ruin a garden party. Either chewing up something that is not his, sneaking food that is not his, or.. leaving little doggie-doo 'presents' that are his and I have stepped in.

But we do not read any animals (even a mischievous rescue dog ruined the Garden Party.

Picture
So if it wasn't the animals, then who was to blame?
​
Genesis 3:1-7 So next enters ‘ The Snake’ aka Satan, and the snake tempts Eve that eating fruit is a good thing and she does, and offers it Adam and he eats too.  

In defense of Adam, though he did disobey God (being a married man myself) I remember early in our marriage my wife made a special dinner and she asked if I liked it and I foolishly answered "it was ok, but not my favorite".. This landed me on thin ice, and the waters below were icy cold! 

Picture
But I digress.. So they both eat the apple, and all of a sudden they feel a draft, as they realize they are naked.
​
Naked and Uncomfortable (sounds like a Discovery Channel reality show) and more uncomfortable in a draft than a 1960's hippy was getting a draft notice from Uncle Sam! 

In case of the hippy, he burned his draft card and headed to Oh Can-a-daaa Eh!, In contrast, Adam & Eve realized they were drafted while being naked.

There was no Old ‘Testament’ Navy, GAP (except between the leaves!), or levi's stores in the Garden so Adam & Eve being naked went for the ‘obvious’ line of clothing.. FIG LEAVES?  

Ge 3:7 Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths.

But.. this 'Fig Leaf' line of fashion had at least a couple serious drawbacks. 
1. Leaf blight, and squirrels, and
2. Fig Leaves were simply not all that flattering. No woman when asking how she looks, wants to hear the words.. "You look like a SHRUB".

​And now seeing the bigger picture outside of the world of fashion, Adam & Eve realized life would never be the same. Sin caused a host of 
irrational emotions.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Ge 3:8-9 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”​

The Invention of the Blame Game..
Naked and afraid Adam & Eve were playing 'Hide & Seek' with God. This is where the time honored (or dishonored) 'Blame Game' was first used. First Adam blamed Eve, Eve 
blamed the snake, and the snake did not have a leg (literally & figuratively) to stand on!  

This my friends is how you ruin a Garden Party!

About a week later  a 
CSI investigation corroborated the entire Genesis 3 account.

So the fall out from this original sin was the snake, woman, and man were cursed and Adam & Eve were then EVICTED from the Garden while Willie Nelson played 'On the Road Again' in the background.  ​​
Picture
Picture
Picture
Since Genesis 3, our sinful flawed nature has compromised what God has intended for our lives.

The Sin Parallel
Adam & Eve chose to disobey God, eat the forbidden apple and then try to hide from God. While we may not live anything close to Paradise, the 'sin parallel' is the same. .. 
our sins are our willful choice that separate us from God, and then we hide!  It matters what we do, say, and/or think, and our disobedience in big or small ways lands compromises the good God intends for us.

GOOD NEWS IS.. God's Grace is as they say AMAZING. He will accept us back after any big or small prodigal moments when we truly repent. BUT please note.. God will not be mocked.. an insincere whoopsie attitude  towards our sin move us further away from the safety and blessings God intends for us.

My prayer today all of us to pursue a greater love for our God. To be in a place where obedience to our loving Heavenly Father is a natural expression of this love. May God impress on our hearts His love for us, He desires the very best for us, and realize His Word is a light to guide us in this dark world.

Blessings

​

​Final Notes.. It was a strange new world in the Beginning ripe with a few more Genesis Garden cartoon musings.
  1. Adam agonizes to others over his missing childhood memories.
  2. Adam reads an early draft of The Holy Bible.
  3. St Patrick's Day in the Garden.

and.. It was GOOD?

 
Picture

Most everyone agrees after a quick cursory glance and a collective cringe the year 2020 was not good.

In fact, 2020 was the 'dumpster fire' of years. And so.. I am praying for a much better 2021 and am not even shooting for good.  I would settle for just ok.

​but.. no matter what 2021 brings IN THE 'very' BEGINNING when God created .. it was good. 

​Let's review.

​Genesis 1 - In the beginning, God spoke the universe into existence.  Some witnesses of this moment claimed they heard a loud crackling sound like thunder, but most simply described it as a.. BANG.. actually a BIG BANG! 

At this point let me be clear, I am not here to discuss Old Earth v New Earth theories. This would be above the pay grade of this cartoonist, but what I will say again is ..

Note to Self…

 
Picture
I find that my life is filled with ‘notes to self’ moments where I need to make note to self regarding the often obvious issues of the day that I need to address. 

For example ...
  • regarding elections.. NOTE TO SELF..’Friends don’t let friends elect pro-wrestlers for state governor.  Remember the lesson of Jesse Ventura and his assault on intelligent government.
  • regarding marriage.. NOTE TO SELF.. ‘Be honest, but careful in the words you choose to support your wife... and sometimes less is more.

With these two very real world common sense NOTES TO SELF.. let me continue on this theme.

Old Testament.. NOTES
Adam.. NOTE TO SELF.. ‘Learn your Times Tables’
Adam.. NOTE TO SELF.. ‘a rib in exchange for pretty woman is a sweet deal’
Cain.. NOTE TO SELF.. ‘God’s ways are not PETA friendly’
Mr. Unicorn.. NOTE TO SELF.. ‘Don’t mix up RSVPs with the daily junk mail’
Abraham.. NOTE TO SELF.. 'Wear comfortable underwear.'
Abraham..  NOTE TO SELF.. Do not confuse ‘My wife and my sister.’
Abraham..  NOTE TO SELF.. ‘Do not confuse wife with maidservant.’
Bob the Bull.. NOTE TO SELF.. ‘Beware of the Jew wearing the 'You Can't Grill it til you Kill It." t-shirt


Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Sam the Sheep.. NOTE TO SELF.. ‘Always remember to FLOSS’
Spy #1.. NOTE TO SELF.. ‘Don’t hide out with prostitutes’
Guard Tower Sentry.. ‘Don’t Trash Talk those who are in Marching Bands’
Goliath – NOTE TO SELF.. ‘Beware of boys with sling shots that smell like sheep’
Solomon – NOTE TO SELF.. ‘It is good to be married’
Benny the Baal Priest-  NOTE TO SELF.. ‘Jewish Prophets tend to be Smart Alecs’
Shadrach – NOTE TO SELF.. ‘Hot.. is the new Cool’
Larry the Lion- NOTE TO SELF.. ‘Don’t pig out at the salad bar, and have 3 large pops on all you can eat prophet night at the Old Testament Buffet.'
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
There you have it.. NOTES TO SELF from the Old Testament.  Just a little fun with great stories from our Bibles.

My prayer  for each of you today is to enjoy this life God has blessed us with (even in the year 2020).  To love God with all my heart soul and mind and others as myself (
Matthew 22:35–40, Mark 12:28–34, and Luke 10:27a.).. in all that I do. and Trust in the Lord will all my heart and lean not unto my own understanding, in all my ways acknowledge Him and He will direct my paths.. Then by comparison .. the rest is trivial pursuit.

Blessings

Back Pew - Draw Close to God
116 pages of cartoons of 'Clean Humor & God's Truth'

CRITICS ARE SAYING..
  • The Back Pew (vol 1) offers spiritual insights rarely found in 'most' coloring books.
  • On a good day The Back Pew is.. Gary Larson's The Farside goes to church!
  • On a bad day The Back Pew (vol 1) is still useful under the leg of an uneven coffee table.
Laughter is just a CLICK away
-click- HAHAHAHA!
