Little Thoughts August 20, 2025

By Pastor Sammy Little, First Baptist Church of Stowell

  I took an economics class in college and our professor had a sense of humor and an off beat method of giving us credit for coming to class. He would give daily true/false quizzes asking questions that were so deep that none of us could understand. He didn’t care whether we understood the questions because he gave us the right answers on the first day of class. The answers would always be TFTFT. One day he gave a test and someone answered FTFTF and they argued they should get credit because they were there and the questions were unimportant so the answers shouldn’t matter. The professor turned them down saying it was his class and they had been told the correct answers so were responsible for knowing them. He made it simple for anyone to make a 100, but they had to give the right answers. God is somewhat like that professor: the answer at the judgement is Jesus Christ. You might not understand or know everything about Jesus, but realise He is what life is all about. He pleases the Father. Only His death on the cross can forgive our sins. It’s pretty simple. Give God what satisfies Him. Don’t accidentally give Him another. Only Jesus is right. “It is appointed unto man once to die and then comes the judgement.” (Hebrews 9:27) Make a 100!
