Yabbut...

Heyyyy-yAbbuuuuT! It was the common cry of Lou Costello when he called out to his partner Bud Abbott - usually when something didn't go as planned. Their comedy is classic. It still makes me laugh.

I like THAT kind of yeah but.

The other kinds aren't quite so attractive to me.

Yeah, but that was in Bible times. We live in today.
Yeah, but that was fifty years ago. God doesn't do that anymore.
Yeah, but that's in Pensacola. It couldn't happen here.

It's a word - for people say those two words like a single word - like yabbut - a word we hear far too often.

Yabbut - well why NOT?

Isn't God the same God He always was?
Doesn't He love us as much as He always did from the beginning of time?
Isn't He everywhere, not just in one place?
Can't He do anything He chooses?
Doesn't He ache for us to have a deep and vibrant relationship with Him?

So what's with the yabbut?
