Weathervanes and Wind Machines (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798375109442)

In this book taken from a sermon by Jamie Buckingham, Jamie states there are no prophets or prognosticators for the future. There are only weathervanes for the present. Nobody knows where the wind is blowing. Jesus said you cannot tell where it is going. Nobody knows. The best we can do is to hoist a weathervane and say, "This is the way it's blowing today."

There are no prophets for the future. There are only weathervanes for the present.

Others, on the other hand, have cranked up wind machines and are doing it their own way.

I know a lot of people in ministry today who have built huge wind machines. They turn them on and point them in a direction of their choosing, usually in a way that benefits them, and they say, "Look! This is the way the wind is blowing. And if you get involved in my ministry. . ."

Be careful. That machine might just blow you off the surface of the earth.

The problem we have concerning wind machines and weathervanes, the problem we have is that we want to know which way the Spirit of God is going to be blowing. In fact, we would like it to blow the same way all the time.

Wouldn't it be great to know that every time I go out in a boat, there's going to be a following sea? And every time I come back into shore, there's going to be a following sea. Wouldn't it be great if I never had to go through the tall waves, but instead there was a wind at my back always pushing me along?

We want to walk by sight rather than by faith.
