The Chaplain's Corner




Chaplain Paul is one of the most effective chaplains in America today. He is an emergency responder to every situation.

Hey, this is the Chaplain again. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Years ago I talked with a man who told me he was a Buddhist, a Hindu, a Muslim, and a Christian simultaneously.

This man was absolutely serious about his religious identity. When I asked him why he wanted to be an combination of all of these faiths, he said, “Doesn’t it make sense to have all the bases covered?” The truth is he may have had some imaginary bases covered in his mind; but his sin was not.

Actually, no religion can take care of your sin problem. You see it’s not about a religion, it’s about a relationship. Having a personal relationship with the Lord, Jesus Christ; that’s what really covers all the bases. Psalm 32:1 says,

“Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.”

There’s an old church hymn that says it pretty well.

“What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.”

Embracing the Jesus of Scripture is not a roll of the dice or even a reasonable, educated guess. When we receive Christ as Savior and make Him the Lord of our lives, we are making a declaration that Jesus is everything. We’re betting our lives, our eternal destiny, on Him and Him alone.

Jesus, He’s what it’s all about. If you have Him, you have all you need. Without Him nothing else really matters.

God bless you.

For those of you who may read this before you eat your turkey – HAPPY THANKSGIVING! For the rest of you, Happy Recovery from Thanksgiving!
