Good is Good!

First of all, the house closed without a hitch today. Praise the Lord! That's just one more thing that God has taken care of for us during this process. We had prayed that God would send someone to buy the house that would totally fall in love with it. Well, the people who bought it were planning to sleep on the floor there tonight and move there stuff in this weekend. Another prayer answered. We were given a food and card "pounding" on Sunday by the people in the church to help support us during this time. We received a ton of food and some money. We are very humbled by their love.

Is Picasso "Good"?

Now, regarding the title of this post. We went out to an Italian restaurant last night with some people from the church and my meal was real good. I won't go into the details of what it was, but I know you wish you could have been there. Anyway, I've eaten at some restaurants and the food wasn't any good at all. A lot of people have a hard time with things that aren't "Christian", especially music. I remember hearing some people when I was younger claim that the music was "devil" music if it were anything other than the hyms in the church. They even included the upcoming Christian contemporary music at the time. It's funny, If I were to hold to the same logic as the music logic then I probably couldn't ever go back to that Italian restaurant because I'm not real sure if the food was "Christian" or not. I didn't ask it nor did I ask the chef or the waiter. See, we can take that logic across the board to my bed. Is it good or not? How about my computer? What about a good book or poetry? The list is endless. If we read in Genesis we see that when God created He said they were "good". He didn't call them the "Christian" plants, animals, waters, sky etc. He just said they are good. Things that are good come from God and God alone. Satan cannot make good. It's not who he is. Can Satan distort good? Sure, but that doesn't negate that there is some good in it. Think of it this way. I know some songs out there that are not good in the lyrics (don't promote godliness), but the music is good. I know just the opposite as well. I guess what I'm trying to say is good is good. I don't know if I explained this with the eloquence that it deserves, but I hope you get the point. Maybe this post is not so good.?.
