“BE TEACHABLE!”
Matthew 13:15
“For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, lest they should understand withtheir hearts and turn, so that I should heal them.”

When I was a junior in high school several of us journeyed a few hundred miles from home to work in the harvest. That summer the weather delayed the harvest, however we were able to secure temporary employment at an insecticide processing company.

There was a large platform approximately 10 feet off the floor where various bags of a powder-like product were dumped into a large hopper. To keep the powder from blowing all over, a piece of ½ inch 6’x8’ plywood would be lowered down. When it was open there were chains on either side to prevent it from falling over. An older man who had worked there for quite a while supervised our activities.

The bags weighed anywhere from 50 to 75 pounds. The idea was to empty the product in the center of the opening away from the chains. If a heavy bag hit against the chain it would slam the plywood down striking your head. We quickly learned the process, but that old veteran never seemed to get it through his head. I recall that he was almost bald and his head was covered with sores from where the plywood and hit him so many times. It seemed like it happened several times each shift. As he staggered around, most of us could not contain the laughter.

As I have thought about this incident, it brings to mind how many people know that the wages of sin produce bitter dividends. But in spite of knowing the consequences, they will not be taught. May we all be teachable!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

It seemed that every time she gave her testimony she looked and sounded like she had just been baptized in lemon juice! It became a joke for the kids in the church. We kids who were eight or nine years of age would make faces and imitate this lady. I am sure her heart was pure and her devotion to the Lord was pure, but her face lacked the appearance of joy. At times we Christians seem to have a short circuit when it comes to having the joy of our salvation. We talk of t
