The God - Centered Spouse

Monday Devotional

“Let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.” 2 Corinthians 7:1

Greg Nettle, pastor and church planter, was walking to his car after a golf tournament when he realized the remote trunk opener wasn’t working.  Neither were the automatic door locks.  When he finally got inside the car, he saw the fuel gauge reading empty, even though he had filled up on gas less than twenty-four hours before.  More frustrating yet, the car would turn over but then immediately die.

After a tow truck delivered the disabled vehicle to the dealership, a mechanic came out to Greg and told him the problem: a bad BCM.

“What’s a BCM?”

“The basic control module.  It’s essentially the car’s brain, and once it goes bad, everything starts malfunctioning.”

Greg could have insisted on “fixing” the trunk, the door locks, the gas gauge, and any number of problems - but those were merely the symptoms of an overall malfunction.
