“If God be for us, who can be against us.” Romans 8:31

While channel flipping through the television last night I ran across “Blast From The Past”, a great comic film of a boy, Brendan Frasier, who is raised in a 1960’s era fallout shelter with his fun loving parents Christopher Walken and Sissy Spacek, until, he get’s his first taste of the world by coming to the surface in the 1990’s. That’s all I’ll share as I’m not going to be the spoiler for this great little film, except to say it opens with Perry Como singing,

“you’ve got to accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative, latch on to the affirmative, and don’t mess with Mr. In-between!”

This Johnny Mercer classic song from 1944 is one of my favorites, for in a very clever way it’s all about living a life of faith. After all, Romans 8:31 tells us that “if God is for us, who can be against us”. Just think, the creator of the heavens and the earth is on your side. With that outlook, you should indeed accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative, and don’t mess with Mr. In-between.
