Christianity and the Art of Home Repair


Numbers 3-5
We all need a great mechanic.  Someone we trust to repair our cars and the same with home repair, electricity and plumbing.  It’s important to have someone we can trust to fix the things that break in our lives.

There’s one person more important than all the others.  It’s our spiritual handyman, the one we call on when faced with the “unfixable” things in life.  We all have these issues: death, wayward love ones, broken hearts, homes and souls.  God calls out special people to play this role in the world.  That’s what’s happening in these chapters.  We will all, at some point, need someone who has been trained by God to minister Him into our hearts, homes and hearths.  We have one, my brother, Pastor P.R. Benson.  I do hope you do too.  Starting here in the early writings, God really does call some people out for this special role.  Find that pastor or priest.  Make them an integral part of your family.  Trust God.  Someday, if not already, you will need them.  That’s why God appointed them.  Remember He is with us and often with us through His Appointed.
