Title: No Such Thing As Luck Author: Charlie P. Johnston, Jr. Publisher: Johnston Publications ISBN: 0-9743339-1-3 Genre: Inspirational/Nonfiction
Luck. A word bandied around by most of us in conversations. Best of luck. Wish you luck. Good luck on your new job. A four letter word, it seems, with which we pepper our conversations.
Charlie Johnston’s treatise No Such Thing As Luck points out the pagan origins of the term we so lightly use. His revelations from Scripture will cause a Christian to think twice before speaking those words again. As Johnston states, “The fundamental claim of luck is power. Luck claims the power to bring benefits and bestow blessings.” With such a strong light shed on it, the word takes on a sinister flavor. Biblically, Johnston reminds us with Jeremiah 31:35 “Thus says the Lord, Who gives the sun for a light by day and the fixed order of the moon and of the stars for a light by night. Who stirs up the sea’ s roaring billows or still the waves when they roar-the lord of host is His name.” (Amp.)
Before we utter those flighty words again, we need to check our heart motives. Luck, it seems, does not line up with scripture. And Charlie Johnston has proven that fact to me. Read this study to discover the truth for yourself. Its recommended reading from a blessed woman, me. | |
