Interesting Comment

Yesterday morning, Pastor Heiberg said something in his sermon that I found really interesting. He said that this world of technology has contact with the other side of the world through cell phones and satellite, but it has lost contact with heaven (and God). This was said in light of the story of Jacob and the ladder to heaven, in Genesis 28:10-22. The neat thing about this story is that Jacob had just stolen the birthright from his brother Esau, and now he was running away from home so his brother couldn't get revenge on him. Jacob had not made this sin right with God yet, but still God showed Himself and talked to Jacob in a dream. He even told him that he would be a great nation, and that He would stay with Jacob and protect him. God promised all of this to Jacob even after he rebelling and sinned against God. What an amazing and gracious God we have!
