The UNREASONABLE GOD!

God is UNREASONABLE.

He asks us to step into the unknown and do the impossible so that he has a powerfully clear high platform to show the world that He's still God -- still in charge, still the ONE, still Jehovah, still the Manna-Maker, Soul-Provider (a long time before the song), and our First & Last Greatest Hope for life lived properly.

I'm digging into 'The Sermon Maker' by Calvin Miller and uncovered a quote that you've got to read and let sink in. On page 26 Miller posts this quote from 'The Spire' by William Golding: "Even in the old days He never asked men to do what was reasonable. Men can do that for themselves. They can buy and sell, heal and govern. But then out of some deep place comes the command to do what makes no sense at all--to build a ship on dry land; to sit among the dunghills; to marry a whore; to set their son on the altar of sacrifice. Then, if men have faith, a new thing comes."

This is my story in the call to launch Phos Hilaron Church. Totally unreasonable and impossible unless God Himself meets our need and gives us success--and to this point He has!
