Plumbing fixed??

Yesterday a plumber came to clean out the lines at our house.  We can now flush without sewage spewing out into our tub and shower in the bathrooms!!  It is just a temporary fix though.  The plumber said that there is at least a crack in the pipe and possible a break.  He is going to send somebody out next week to give an estimate on how much it will cost.  He did give us another possible solution but it could also just be a band aid.  He said to put one cup of rock salt down each stool one night a week.  He said it would at the least probably buy us some time.  He knows one homeowner that has done this for six years after having similar problems.  He hasn't had to have his line cleaned out since using the salt rock.  The salt rock will break down and clean out any roots.  He did pull some roots out when cleaning out our lines.  So do we go with temporary, which could last quite a while, or do we pick a permanent solution?

Sometimes things in life leave us with several options but choosing the right one can be a guessing game.  There is one choice that anybody can make that is the right choice.  Choose Jesus!!  He is the ultimate plumber.  He will clean out your soul and can mend a broken heart!  He is the direct line to heaven.  He will clean out all your roots!  The love of Christ will flow freely through you!  The choice is yours though! A band aid might cover your hurts and brokenss but JESUS is a permanent solution!!  Will you choose Jesus?

Romans 10:10-13

New International Version (NIV)

¹⁰ For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. ¹¹ As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”¹² For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, ¹³ for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Ephesians 2:8-9

New International Version (NIV)

⁸ For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— ⁹ not by works, so that no one can boast.
