Click on photo to enlarge "A Never-Dying Soul To Save" Message summary: "Soul" is used all through the Bible to describe the inner, non-physical component of who we are.
"What
good is it for
someone to
gain the whole
world, yet
forfeit their
soul? Or what
can anyone
give in
exchange for
their soul?"
(Mark
8:36,37).
I
have been
fascinated
with aviation
since I was a
little boy
living near an
Air Force Base
in the Kansas
City area. My
dad had
trained as a
pilot in World
War 2. My
first
awareness of
death was when
my dad took me
to a crash
site in a farm
field about 1
mile west of
our house
where a large
cargo plane
had gone
down.*
My
first plane
ride, as a
child, was
flying over
the farm
fields of
southern
Missouri in a
private single
engine plane.
In high school
I had my most
notable flight
in a WW2 era
P-51 Mustang
fighter plane
(right) where
I experienced
as many G's as
I probably
ever will
unless we
experience
them at the
rapture!Over 30 years ago I was a Civil Air Patrol chaplain. My role was to provide moral and spiritual support to the members of the squadron and I was blessed to have a commander who valued that role. We were trained to assist in any type of air disaster although we never had one while I served.
In
aviation a
rather archaic
question is
used if a
plane is in
distress. The
air traffic
controller
will ask the
pilot "How
much fuel is
left?" and "How
many souls on
board?"
I don't know the derivation of why this term "soul" is used but it is a sobering reminder of the immortal value of each human; we are more than just flesh and bones.
Charles
Wesley, in the
hymn "A Charge
To Keep Have
I", wrote
regarding our
primary
responsibility
in life:
A
charge to keep
have I,
A God to glorify, A never-dying soul to save, And fit it for the sky; To serve the present age, My calling to fulfill: O may it all my powers engage To do my Master’s will!
The
teaching site
gotquestions.org
has this
definition of
soul,
"Simply
stated, the
human soul is
the part of a
person that is
not physical.
It is the part
of every human
being that
lasts
eternally
after the body
experiences
death. The
human soul is
central to the
personhood of
a human being.
As George
MacDonald
said, 'You
don’t have a
soul. You are
a Soul. You
have a body.'"
"Soul" is used all through the Bible to describe the inner non-physical component of who we are. Deuteronomy 6:5 commands, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength". In the daily text Jesus asks two sobering questions. He does not answer them for the answer is evident:
Question
1: "What
good is it for
someone to
gain the whole
world, yet
forfeit their
soul?"
Answer: It's not good at all! You can gain all but it's worth nothing if you lose your soul!
Question
2: "Or
what can
anyone give in
exchange for
their soul?"
Answer: Nothing, there is no exchange value for the soul! May God help each of us to give primary attention to the condition of our souls. Be encouraged today, Hebrews 3:13 Stephen & Brooksyne Weber

 Near sunset yesterday our neighbor's son was tilling a field here on Kraybill Church Road. From a very young age our neighbor's sons have been active in working with their team of mules, as is common among the Amish.  I've had this Kember print since I began my ministry in the seventies. What a solemn reminder from our Lord!
