Quotes from Today's Readings
From The Problem with Solutions by Milt Rodriguez
GOD HAS NO SOLUTIONS FOR YOU PROBLEMS!
In fact, He doesn't even move in the realm of solutions...God uses no methods! We figure that the best way to solve the problem is by focusing all of our attention on the problem. God says that the only hope is to look away from the problem to another place. That place is a person! THE PERSON OF HIS SON, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!

THE ONLY LASTING SOLUTIONS COME AS WE BEHOLD THE LORD!
