"Get In Line" -Too

"This is the LORD'S doing: it is marvelous in our eyes." (Psalms 118:23)

 If, is a pretty strange word, if we are talking about belief. I hope you got that? Not only is it not well to use it in the same sentence with anything associated with what I believe, it absolutely should never be used with God's salvation of our souls. I was thinking of those three young men that were about to be thrown in the fiery furnace, as they so happened to use that word also, saying, "If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.

For they said, 'Look, you mockers, be amazed and die! For I am doing something in your own day, something you wouldn't believe even if someone told you about it.'"" (Acts 13:38-41) NLT
