A MAN went to his friend\u2019s house to hang out and watch television. His friend had a small 13\u201c color TV, but they both sat down and relaxed in front of what turned out to be a great movie. The young man jumped up during a commercial and proclaimed that he intended to run back to his house and continue the movie on his brand-new 19\u201c color TV.<\/p>\n
So the man goes home, turns on his 19\u201c color TV set, and doesn\u2019t get the movie. He keeps turning channels but can\u2019t find the movie. Even though the picture is sharp, he can\u2019t get the movie. Even though he\u2019s got great sound, he doesn\u2019t get the movie. He had no idea that his friend, even with his little-bitty TV, was hooked into a satellite that gave him the ability to pull down that great movie. His friend had the ability to pull a picture from up above that he himself did not have access to. The man may have had a bigger and better TV set but he couldn\u2019t get reception because he didn\u2019t have cable.<\/p>\n
If you are a Christian, you have cable. You have access to God\u2019s viewpoint. If you are a non-Christian, you may have a bigger set, but you don\u2019t have cable. You can\u2019t hook in and link into a divine frame of reference no matter how expensive your life is, no matter how much money, and no matter how much power or prestige you have. So many non-Christians have a lot to show of this world but they can\u2019t pull in a divine picture because they don\u2019t have a good cable connection. This is the state of natural man.645<\/p>\n
