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!

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...

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...

The Fewer, the Better and the Simpler, the Better!

Sometimes, the fewer the words, the better…  Many would probably argue that the most important words in the English language, when strung altogether in the right order, are just three simple words.  And each of those three words is just a one syllable word.  So, not only the fewer the better but also, as a bonus, the simpler, the better! Oh, the three words…they are “I love you” – few, simple and altogether meaningful!      God used them to encourage His people, the people of Israel :  “You are priceless to me. I love you and honor you. So I will trade other people for you. I will give up other nations to save your lives.” (Isa 43:4) The significance of the words “I love you” is inestimable, especially when used in a way that communicates value and commitment And when you look at Jeremiah 31:3, you see a past tense of those words so that “I love you” is “I have loved you”.  But that’s not all that the verse says, the “I have loved y...
