Are we there yet
Ever wonder how long it takes to 'get it right as a Christian?
So does Zack every day.
Zack is a young believer learning the hard way that Paul (Romans 5:3-5, 2 Corinthians 4:17), James (James 1:2-4), and Peter (1) Peter 1:6-7) weren't joking about the trials he would face. He's discovering that choosing his game over God shows where his heart really is-that he's loving the world more than the One who saved him. But with Ganan's help, he's going to figure it out... eventually.
A little bit more about what happens here
Ever wonder how long it takes to ‘get it right as a Christian? So does Zack every day. Zack is a young believer learning the hard way that Paul (Romans 5:3-5, 2 Corinthians 4:17), James (James 1:2-4), and Peter (1) Peter 1:6-7) weren’t joking about the trials he would face. He’s discovering that choosing his game over God shows where his heart really is-that he’s loving the world more than the One who saved him. But with Ganan’s help, he’s going to figure it out… eventually.
Zack
You know those Christians that have been on fire for God and always made good decisions from the moment they were Baptized? They read their Bible everyday and have an awesome prayer life. Well, that is NOT Zack!!
Zack learns not to touch a hot stove by touching it and if his friends 'jumped off a bridge' he just might jump too. Zack is a 'good' kid. He has strong Christian friends, but he also has
friends like the ones that the book of Proverbs warns you not to hang out with. Which is why Ganan, Zack's guardian angel, is exhausted most of the time. It is also why you can learn a lot from all the mistakes that Zack makes.
Ganan
Guardian Angels have been the topic of debate for centuries, and if anyone needed one it would be Zack! That is why I'm using the phrase. "Their angels in Heaven," found in Matthew 18:10, it means assigned or guardian angels. As far as everyone seeing Ganan as a dog, except for Zack, I'm using Hebrews 13:2, about entertaining strangers. Strangers; dogs?! I think it works. Besides, there was that talking donkey in Numbers 22:28!
Ganan does his best to steer Zack in the right direction, while also defending him from the enemy's attacks.
It is a full time job, but Ganan is definitely up to it.
