Ever feel like choosing to drop out for a while, trying to escape reality and attempting to live a bit of life in a bubble? Feeling like running away from life’s pressures and challenges is normal. Only if you make it an endless proposition can it become a problem.
Opting out too often can lead to disastrous results.
Remember that movie account of the young man who had to keep away from all the germs and health threats in life, so he was wrapped inside a kind of protective balloon? They called him the “Boy in the Bubble.” On the surface, it can seem attractive at times.

‘Twas the night before Jesus came and all through the house
Not a creature was praying, not one in the house.
Their Bibles were lain on the shelf without care
In hopes that Jesus would not come there.
The children were dressing to crawl into bed.
Not once ever kneeling or bowing a head.
And Mom in her rocker with baby on her lap
Was watching the Late Show while I took a nap.
When out of the East there arose such a clatter.
I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I fllew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash!

(BP) God doesn’t take the majority of His workers from the ranks of the wise, mighty or noble. First Corinthians 1:26 SAYS, “For you see your calling brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.”
Continuing in First Corinthians 1, verse 27, “But God has chose the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God

I recently read Phillippians 3:13 “…one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead...” and thought about Paul’s life and how God had used him. If he said, “there is one thing I do” then it must be important!

ASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP) -- The greatest struggle the rising generation will have is knowing too much about the world around them -- and so little about their own lives. With a few taps on a phone, we can call up the exact population of Lincoln, Neb., or find out what the purpose of our pancreas is. More importantly, we can jump to any verse in the Bible and find a wealth of commentary about it.
This world of knowledge, however, comes with its own psychological and intellectual issues. Specifically, we don't have to remember stuff. We can skate by with a cursory knowledge of things and -- when we need to -- dive deep into a topic and have full knowledge of facts, stats and figures. As our minds, education and cultures adapt to this expansive yet unretained knowledge base there is a critical issue at hand:

When disaster strikes our life, we’re often simply overwhelmed. As we saw during the 2011 tsunami in Japan, entire towns were wiped off the map, and a nuclear reactor is still in deep trouble. When a country like that is in chaos, where do we begin? Even more important, how do we deal with the “meltdowns” we face in our lives?

On BreakPoint, I talked about a Christian ethic of hope — a hope not based on wishful thinking, but on the reality of God’s promises. It’s this Christian hope that gives us the joy, the self-sacrificial love, the boldness, and the endurance to carry on — even in tough times. You often see these fruits in the lives of devout believers.
