Police Officer Jailed for Jailing Law Breaker


jail

It has come to my attention that I have a distinct and vibrant hatred for the pride of man.  Now, I would take offence at that but I can’t.  I remember we are told to hate what is evil and cling to what is good. 

Don’t take my hatred for the pride of man to mean that I hate man.  In this particularly vibrant hatred, I actually take some solace.  Some might assume that I mean to commit a hate crime.  But we don’t charge police officers with a crime for jailing one who has broken the law of society.  Or maybe times have changed and I haven’t noticed.  This could be.  There has been a whole lot of liberal thinking running amuck lately.

Just a note:  In selecting the tags for this post, I simply clicked “Apply all.”  Personally I see no sense to be politically correct here.  And WordPress seems to know what I mean by what I type. 

Just one more note:  The picture is the best shot I could get of the Policeman………. LOL

“The Faith”, Fuel to Drive into Eternity.

When the Son of man returns, will He find The Faith?  My soul is given pause to consider the meaning of this.  I take note that it is not called faith.  The Lord was speaking of “The Faith”. 

The Faith is not the faith of demons or the wicked men of this world.  To them, faith might mean anything.  Or it might mean an awareness that there is a God.  The Faith, however, is not like that.  The Faith we have in Christ Jesus teaches us to do the will of the Father in Heaven.  It teaches us all things good (The Good of God).  It teaches us to abstain (that is to “not do”) the things of this world; it teaches us to say “no” to sin and “yes” to the Righteousness which comes from God.

Don’t let the world fool you into believing that Jesus will receive everyone because they intended to be a good person.  Only what is God will survive the judgment.  And to whatever extent God’s will lives in you and is accomplished through you, this is the part of you which will survive the coming judgment. 

So I am given pause to consider the things of God within me.   Jesus offers, we receive.  One without the other is no faith at all.

By His Grace.
