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!

Excel Still More!

To excel, according to some of the meanings from a few dictionaries, is to surpass others, do extremely well, outdo, do something better than anyone else. In 1 Thessalonians 4:1, we find the phrase “excel still more”.   It prompts the question:  if we are already doing something better than anyone else, why would we be encouraged to do even more? Perhaps it would be helpful to see the wording that other translations use for “excel still more” to see why we would be encouraged to do so.  Here is a sampling: • abound more and more • to keep doing so more and more • but try even harder • live that way more and more. • that you progress even more. • that you increase more and more in how you ought to walk Maybe it would also be helpful to see some other verses where the word “excel” is used: “Now in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which when translated means Dorcas); this woman was excelling in acts of kindness and charity which she did habitually.”...

Value Proposition

Value proposition:  it’s a marketing statement that summarizes why a consumer should buy a product or use a service.  It should clearly and concisely communicate what customers can gain from selecting a particular brand over that of its competitors. In a value proposition, you don’t want your product to be viewed as being worth less than what your competitors offer.   But even worse, in a bit of a quirk of how letters and spaces can fall, if you take out the space between “worth” and “less”, you get “worthless”, which means something of no value.   If that word is used in conjunction with how your product is viewed by customers, it’s a word that will likely kill your brand. In the book of Philippians, the Apostle Paul, in a sense, communicated some value propositions. In chapter three, he starts off with describing the value of some things that many considered as extremely valuable in that day and age.   They had to do with status and achievement in the reli...

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...
