“CERTAINTY”
Rev. Edward H. Imme.
St. John's Lutheran Church
The other dav a helicopter set - j
tied down to rescue an elderly
couple from a flood area, hut thiw1
refused to enter Uncertain of ,
this strange contraption, they
would not trust their lives to it.
Many people are like that. Be- j
cause they lack certainty, their
lives lack purpose or direction.
They are uncertain as to v. hy
they are here, where they are
going, or what they want to do
in life.
Many men find escape in
drinking because they have never
quite "found themselves."
God gives us the certainties we
need. Beginning with the certain
ty of Forgiveness in Christ, He
gives us a whole framework of
certainties upon which we can
build happy, worthwhile lives.
This Sunday I am going to tell
how God's certainties can help
us to live joyous, confident,
worthwhile lives, and how they
help us overcome those things j
which keep dragging us down in
to the rut of failure.
Won't you come?
