PMS

PMS has different meanings. In a print shop it’s a color to choose from the Pantone Matching System. In a garage or workshop it’s preventative maintenance service. Among a group of women you may hear them commiserate about pre-menstrual syndrome.

Each reference to PMS has a unique image that comes to mind. Out of context, standing on it’s own, it doesn’t make any sense. It’s like that with the name of God. Similar to the PMS references, the name of God may mean something contradictory in any group of people.

The Da Vinci Code shows how one symbol can represent conflicting messages. It also shows some sick interpretations of “God’s will.” Of course, lots of individuals, religious groups, cultures and sub cultures distort God.

There is one way to make sure you know what the name means, how to interact with Him and how to handle life. Not to be trite, because this is easier said than done, but we must follow Jesus. In John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Leave the Father God in context. Follow his son Jesus whose humble birth we prepare to celebrate.

Amen and Merry Christmas!
