Trail Mix - 4.2.19

April 2, 2019 – Gleanings from Vance Havner - “One of these days those who know Jesus will wear robes of white and that day is coming sooner than we expect. The trouble here is that many who name the name of Christ are wearing something between black and white. They live in a twilight zone of ambiguous gray, an indefinable mixture that typifies the “lukewarmness” found today. If we  are going to wear white in the hereafter we better get used to wearing it in the here and now!” S. E. Trail

My prayer for you today is for you to stay “close to the fire” so you’ll stay warm when it’s cold!

Revelation 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. KJV

“A rabbi and a priest get into a car accident and it's a bad one. Both cars are totally demolished but amazingly neither of the clerics is hurt. After they crawl out of their cars, the rabbi sees the priest's collar and says, "So you're a priest. I'm a rabbi. Just look at our cars. There's nothing left, but we are unhurt. God must have meant that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace the rest of our days." The priest replies, "I agree with you completely. This must be a sign from God." The rabbi continues, “And looks at this. Here's another miracle. My car is completely demolished but this bottle of Kedem wine didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune." Then he hands the bottle to the priest. The priest agrees, takes a few big swigs, and hands the bottle back to the rabbi. The rabbi takes the bottle, immediately puts the cap on, and hands it back to the priest. The priest asks, "Aren't you having any?" The rabbi replies, "No...I think I'll wait for the police."
