Windshield Wipers

One rainy afternoon I was driving along one of the main streets of town, taking those extra precautions necessary when the roads are wet and slick.

Suddenly, my son Matthew spoke up from his relaxed position in the front seat: “Dad, I’m thinking of something.”

This announcement usually meant he had been pondering some fact for a while, and was now ready to expound all that his seven-year-old mind had discovered. I was eager to hear.

“What are you thinking?” I asked.


“The rain,” he began, “is like sin, and the windshield wipers are like God wiping our sins away.”

After the chill bumps raced up my arms, I was able to respond.

“That’s really good, Matthew.”

Then my curiosity broke in. How far would my little boy take this revelation?

So I asked, “Do you notice how the rain keeps on coming? What does that tell you?”

Matthew didn’t hesitate one moment with his answer: “We keep on sinning, and God just keeps on forgiving us.”

I will always remember this whenever I turn my wipers on.

“Solution” 
Lyrics:-
 
It is not a human right
To stare not fight
While broken nations dream
Open up our eyes, so blind
That we might find
The Mercy for the need
 
Singing, Hey now
Fill our hearts with your compassion
Hey now
As we hold to our confession
Yeah
 
It is not too far a cry
To much to try
To help the least of these
Politics will not decide
If we should rise
And be your hands and feet
 
Singing, Hey now
Fill our hearts with your compassion
Hey Now
As we hold to our confession
 
Woah-oh-oh,
God be the solution
Woah-oh-oh
We will be Your hands and be Your feet.
Yeah, yeah
 
Higher than a circumstance
Your promise stands
Your love for all to see
Higher than protest line and dollar signs
Your love is all we need
 
Singing, Hey now
Fill our hearts with your compassion
Hey Now
As we hold to our confession
 
Woah-oh-oh,
God be the solution
Woah-oh-oh
We will be Your hands and be Your feet.
Yeah, yeah
 
Only You can mend the broken heart
And cause the blind to see
Erase complete the sinners past
And set the captives free
Only You can take the widows cry
And cause her heart to sing
Be a Father to the fatherless
Our Savior and our King
 
We will be Your hands , we will be Your feet
We will run this race for the least of these
In the darkest place, we will be your light
We will be your light
 
We will be Your hands , we will be Your feet
We will run this race for the least of these
In the darkest place, we will be your light
We will be your light
We’ll sing
 
Woah-oh-oh,
God be the solution
Woah-oh-oh
We will be Your hands and be Your feet.
 
Woah-oh-oh,
God be the solution
Woah-oh-oh
We will be Your hands and be Your feet.
Yeah, yeah
 
We will run we will run
We will run with the solution (2)
 
We will be Your hands we will be Your feet
We will run this race for the least of these
In the darkest place we will be Your light
We will be Your light
We’ll sing

" Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Never.Not at all.(Romans 6:1& 2)
by Sebastian D'Souza on 6th Oct, 2009
Dear Readers,
Christian greetings. Story is fine and dialogues are wonderful. But essence of whole story is wrong. God doesn't want us to continue in sin just because He forgives. And if we do that as the story goes, then we make God a wiper. Again in the same chapter 15 verse 15 Paul says. " What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace ? Certainly not. " My dear friends, Jesus came into this world to set us free from sin, then how we can continue in sin? Don't get mislead by such false teaching. People will go on sinning and there is no end to it till all such people get perished. Jesus again and again warned people to repent in His earthly ministry. Repent from what ? Repent from sin. What is the meaning of repentance. To stop and not to do it again. That is the real meaning of repentance and not just to feel sorry. God wants people to come out of sin and not to go again in that filth and get perished. And if we do, we make His sacrifice on the cross futile. We cannot empty His work on the cross. We cannot afford to do that. Hallelujah. I hope people get right message from my letter. Rest I leave it to God. May our God help people in their daily walk. Bye.
 
Good Story

... indeed, there is not a righteous man on earth who continually does good and who never sins. : Ecclesiastes 7:20
 
" There is no one righteous,not even one. "(Romans3:10)
by Sebastian D'Souza on 8th Oct, 2009
Dear Maria Veronica
Christian greetings.I have given what Paul says in Romans chapter 6:1and 2, and here I am giving another quotation that is Romans 3:10 where Paul says that there is not a single righteous man on this earth who has not committed sin. That is also true.Man may commit sin, but the blood of Jesus is available for him to ask forgiveness immediately and maintain that righteousness,and have a desire not to commit sin again.I believe that man should not commit sin knowing that his sin would be forgiven and go on committing repeatedly. Else that forgiveness has no meaning. That's what Paul meant to say when he says not at all. Not to sin repeatedly. You are talking about a man who has not committed sin at all.There is no one on this planet and that is what Roman 3:10 says. Further read what 1John 1:10 says. " If we claim we have not sinned,we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives." One must take the scripture in context and not out of context.Man never sinning is different from a man who sins but ask for forgiveness and gets justified.
There is a difference in committing sin and living in sin. Man tells lies ten times per day and lives with such life,what you would say? He even never feels about it. Such people live in sin who never repent nor ask for forgiveness. they are the who live in sin. I just gave you an example.You will see such people around you.What you are going to do about them. Are you telling them to repent and commit their lives to Jesus or simply allow them to get perished? Thousands of people are going to hell per day. And who are they? They are the people whom no one has told that Jesus can save them. You may find your friends and even relatives around you. Have you ever told them to commit their lives to Jesus.If not,please do it and try to save some. Because we are not doing our duty towards the commission which our Lord has given us. Let us do it and glorify Jesus. Hallelujah.
 
Are you redeemed?
by Sebastian D'Souza on 9th Oct, 2009
Dear Maria Veronica,
Christian greetings. Are you redeemed? Redeemed from sin? If not, then get saved first and then you will get that commision. Jesus commissioned his disciples when he told them. " Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and os the Son and of the Holy Spirit. " (Mathew 28:19) Jesus even now gives this commission to everyone whoever commits his or her life to Jesus through repentance. And who are those who do this? They are the children of God who are called believers. Today they are the one who are going around and witnessing for Jesus. Infact they are making disciples for Jesus. And they are the one who are being persecuted in Orissa, Karnataka, Maharashtra and other places. In China and Muslim countries,they are even being jailed. They are the real disciples of Jesus Christ. Why they are persecuted? Because they are witnessing for Jesus Christ. Day by day the number of believers is incresing by laks everyday all over the world.
Those who are reading bible are knowing God and knowing how important it is to repent and commit their lives to Jesus, and are becoming believers. When they do that,they receive the Holy Spirit and through the Holy Spirit they get power to witness for Christ. Without God's power no one can carry out his commission. Believers have power. You can make out with their talk and their lives. They live for Jesus and not for themselves. Their heart and mind is not on worldly things but on the things of heaven. They know very well that " First seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and everthing will be added unto you as well. " (Mathew 6:33) Again " For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. " (Romans 8:5) " Those who live according the flesh cannot please God." (Romans 8:8) and those who cannot please God, are not children of God.Rather they are the enemies of God.Because their mind is on earthly things. John in his first letter says. " Do not love the world or the things of the world.If anyone loves the world,the love of the Father is not in him. " (1John 2:15) We canot love the world and also God at the same time. One has to choose either one. Present generation is for worldly things. How one can please God with such worldly life? They are the one who need Jesus.I mean they are the one whom we have to bring to Jesus Christ. Message of Christ tells that they need to know Jesus and his plan for their lives. Else they will perish for eternity.
There are people who take the name of Jesus but when the question comes of committing their lives to Jesus, they turn their back to Jesus and his teachings. Jesus has no meaning in their lives. They live for themselves. Such people has no right to take the name of Jesus.For God says. " Do not take my name in vain. " (Exodus 20:7) Know your Saviour and also know your God who can bless you and use you for his glory. Hallelujah.
 
Obey Jesus and get your sins washed.
by Sebastian D'Souza on 7th Nov, 2009
Dear Friends,
Christian greetings.Jesus wants or rather demands obedience from His followers.As I said earlier that Christian life is not a bed of roses rather it is a path of thorns.Christian life has sufferings and not leizure.Christian must be ready to pay the price because Jesus paid the price for his sins.In order to give life to a sinner Jesus had to die on the cross,a death of a criminal.A man without sin had to become sin in order to save the sinner.Being likeness of God He humbled himself and became obedient to the death, even the death on the cross for the sake of you and me.All are destined to die and face the judgement and to save you and me from that ,He prefered to die and pay the penalty for your sins and mine so that we may belong to Him.
Not because we are born in a Christian family we are Christians,rather those who have surrendered their lives to Jesus are Christians.Some people think otherwise but it is a devil's lie.Unless one's sins are purged in Jesus's blood, he or she cannot be a Christian.One has to go through the work of purification and sanctification.Jesus justifies such sinners who go through and offers them the gift of salvation.Try to remember the words of Jesus when He told Cornelius to go and speak to Saul how much he has to suffer for Him in his life and it did realy happened so.Saul who was called Paul had to suffer for the sake of Jesus through out his life.We as Christian,suffering is our portion,that is our cross which Jesus talks about.Jesus said. " Unless you take up your cross and follow me,you cannot be my disciple. " ( Luke 14:27) We have to remember these words when we call ourselves Christians.What Jesus said is not only for Christians but to any one who wants to follow Jesus.The person may belong to any religion rather it is for every sinner.For all have sinned and have come short of the glory of God.( Romans 3:23 ) If you think that you are a sinner and if you feel guilty about it,then there is hope in Jesus.You can avail that opportunity and get youself saved from going to hell through Jesus Christ.surrender your life to Jesus.For that there is specific prayer which is called sinner's prayer.I have given it in one of my letters on this website.Find it and pray accordingly and you will be saved.I have also given some instructions which are to be followed after that prayer.Do that for it is also very important.God will definately help you.Bye.God be with you.
