A man found himself sitting alone on the exam room table, awaiting the knock on the door that announced the arrival of the physician. We all have been there. Sitting. Waiting. Sitting. Waiting.
Looking around the room for something to pass the time, the patient read the eye chart. He read the advertisements for all the latest medications. A second look at the eye chart. Still no knock.
What is left? Ahh, the beautifully framed diplomas!

“What’s this? ‘Last in class of 500 graduates!!!‘

Such faith, such determination, such love, the nobleman had for his son in John 4:46-54 (Jesus’ 2nd miracle). To leave his dying son to seek after Jesus, his only hope, knowing his son might even die before his return.
He went to get Jesus to bring him to his son’s bed side hoping he could heal him. Jesus knew this man’s love and faith and said your son liveth – and just by speaking those words the boy was healed.

In our society today, we are constantly bombarded with values that are contrary to the will of God. We are told that we should be accepting of a woman’s “right to choose,” two members of the same sex’s “right to marry,” a teenager’s “right to choose whether or not to have sex,” and such other ungodly ideas. However, what should our attitude be in the face of this irreverence for God’s word? Should we obey God even in the face of opposition, or should we choose to follow the ideas of man?
