Instead of dropping in for dinner, have dinner . . .

It's a bird it's a plane. No it's a pepperoni:

I just read about the latest pizza delivery option a short way south of here.  Actually it will be a while before Kiwis can have a drone deliver a pizza to their door-step, but if Domino's plans work out,it won't be long. The video shows the "Domicopter" being  tested in England, but since delivery by drone is legal in New Zealand, residents of the down-under nation could be getting pie from the sky, by spring of 2017. Be watching for the comics have a great time with this. Out of all the things that the world needs, just how high on the list does pizza delivery by a remotely controlled aircraft rise?  The best and brightest are working on new ways to deliver what the even better and brighter tell us we need less of, anyhow.  Meanwhile, I know folk who want to take the live-giving Good-news about Jesus Christ to the nations, and they are stuck for lack of resources. I have some friends who live and minister in New Zealand.  If they get their supper from this alien looking device, I hope they take a video, but more importantly, I hope they invite some neighbors in for the Italian air-raid, and share with them the bread of life. It's STTA. The delivery system is via old-fashioned words, but at this site, you'll find a message we all need.

Only One Know-It-All in the Universe:

It's a bit long for a one-liner, but it does have that "keep it in your pocket it will be handy" quality that one-liners need.

If God couldn't do anything I couldn't understand, He wouldn't be much of a god, would He?  

I enjoy and acknowledge the benefits of modern technologies, but hasten to remind you and me that this world, and especially the God of this world is bigger than my mind can envision.  

Modernism was/is--I don't know whether we are living in a new version of modernism, postmodernism, or an era that defies labels--at its best when it recognized the order and predictability that God, Who is infinitely consistent (Immutable), and applied that to the study of and respectful use of the natural world.  From the technologies that have grown out of the understanding the nature of steam, to the complex calculations that are involved in sending back pictures from distant planets, to this collection of silicon, plastic, and copper on which I am typing this message, science and technology have brought us incredible benefits.  When scientific knowledge and technology become arrogance, the notion that we have it all figured out, that is modernism--or call it what you will at its worst.

The Biblical portrait of this world includes a misty horizon. God has graciously told us a great deal about Himself, His creation, and particularly the portion of the creation known as "me."  To extrapolate from that, however, and claim that I know all that is to be known beyond what God has revealed, is to say the least foolish.  If God is truly God then He is the only know-it-all in the Universe.

God does a great deal that I don't understand.  My mind is not big enough to encompass Him, but He has told me enough about Himself so that I can trust Him.  My point of security is not that I always understand.  It is that I understand enough to know that God is trustworthy.

And that is enough.

 It's STTA.
