The Ultimate in Streaming


From a Luddite’s point of view, the technology of streaming seems both simple and complex.  On the simple side of things, streaming seems to have two basic components; there must be something that you are streaming from and something that you are streaming to.  One the complex side of things, well, I couldn’t even begin to understand let alone explain it, so I won’t even go there!  But I would say that what I am about to share represents the ultimate in streaming because:

There are no bandwidth issues.

Too many users can never be a problem.

There is no possibility of a power source being disrupted.

Too good to be true?  Well, read on:


“The one who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, will have streams of living water flow from deep within him.”  (John 7:38) 

“In the future the mountain of the Lord’s temple will endure as the most important of mountains, and will be the most prominent of hills.  All the nations will stream to it.”  (Isaiah 2:2). 

 “There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.”  (Psalm 46:4)

For those who have put their faith in Christ, they have living water streaming from within.  One day, the renown of the living God will be so great that all nations will stream to where He dwells.  And where He dwells, there will be a river whose streams make glad the city of God. 

No other streaming could compare to all that!

Hide Not...

Over the centuries, the words have brought great comfort and encouragement.   The words are often used as a benediction or a blessing:   The Lord bless you and keep you: The Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you: The Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.   (Num 6:24-26)   What in the world is a countenance?  By definition, it is a person's face or facial expression. So if the Lord’s face shines upon us and if He lifts up His countenance upon us, what does all that mean? It means that He is giving us His attention.  But even more so, His face shining upon us gives us t he picture of a beaming face like that of a parent for their beloved child.  And the reference to Him lifting up His countenance points to God extending divine favor and peace to us. Sometimes we can appreciate things more by seeing opposites.  The opposite of a lifted face is a face that has fallen, perhaps because of sham...

Can't Get No Satisfaction

One of the songs that were popular in my youth was not particularly upbeat or helpful but it probably did express some of the angst of my generation.  It was not one that particularly resonated with me but as I recently read the book of Haggai, it did come to mind, well, at least some of the lyrics did.  It was the Rolling Stones song with the lyrics “I can’t get no satisfaction”.  Take a look at the chorus of that bleak song:   I can't get no satisfaction; I can't get no satisfaction; Gonna try and I try and I try and I try; I can't get no - I can't get no –   Now take a look at Haggai 1:6 – “ You have planted much, but harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it.” It sure sounds like the people of Judah couldn’t get any satisfaction with the things of life that normally should have brought some type of s...

Outrun the What?

“Outrun the rays”!  It’s a phrase I noticed on a billboard.  I think it’s a public service type campaign.  The intent, I assume, is to get people out of the harmful rays of the sun that can cause things like skin cancer.  But you really can’t outrun the rays, they travel at about 186,282 miles per second! Yet the campaign has a certain appeal to it.   “Outrun” sounds a lot like a competition and maybe it gets the competitive juices going for some.   Yet, try as you may, you still can’t outrun the rays, but you can implement strategies to avoid them.   And most of those strategies have a simple foundational aspect to them; you avoid the rays by finding some type of covering. Strategies for covering up from the rays include being in shaded areas, putting on clothing that blocks the rays or putting on sun screen. While the sun’s rays can certainly cause significant physical harm and cover is essential to combat that, there are also areas of our live...
