Young Brody was excited, his family was going on a late-summer picnic!   They arrived at the picnic spot at a park overlooking a lake and settled under a mighty oak tree.    As they finished eating, Brody noticed a large watermelon nearby and the many acorns on the oak tree.  “Mom, Dad, I think God made a mistake,” Brody blurted out.  “He should have made the vine carry the small acorns and the big oak tree carry the watermelons" Brody’s parents smiled and, for a few seconds, pondered how to best answer Brody’s challenge when God intervened.  An acorn dropped from the tree and landed directly atop Brody’s head. “Ouch,” Brody exclaimed and looked up in surprise!  Slowly, the impact of what happened dawned on him as he pictured a watermelon falling from the oak tree instead of the acorn.

“God wasn’t mistaken after all,” Brody said thoughtfully.  “Leave the watermelons growing on the vine on the ground.”

Reformation has been needed throughout history, yet never because God made a mistake.  As Hebrews 8:7-10 records, the mistakes necessitating reformation result from human failure, not God’s.

Whether ancient Israel, the early apostolic church, the church of the dark ages that morphed into a monster, or the Protestant churches of today, the need for reformation lives on.  Why?  Humanity continues attempting to bargain with God, trying to mix man’s ways and preferences with God's. This mix never works, and the Holy Spirit continues to appeal to us through Paul’s testimony to the Galatians “I’m crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ lives in me....”

Are we willing to live by every word of God, even if, like Brody, it doesn’t make sense to us initially?

Listeners hear new things on Strong Tower Radio (STR)—truth that often disagrees with their preferences and understandings.  God raised up STR for this very purpose, to arrest individuals' attention to their need for Jesus Christ and the fullness of His gospel found in the Bible.  No partial gospel needing reformation, only proclamation of the full gospel of forgiveness and power to overcome sin in this life.  Those seeking a right way are looking for that power.

Thank you for supporting STR as you pray for this ministry. As the Holy Spirit impresses you, please add your monthly financial support to help reach more souls seeking the faith of Jesus.
