Freezing Fuzzies

Foreigner sang, “you’re as cold as ice. . .”.  Somehow we all understand what that means.  There are a whole lot of songs about mean men and women.  How about that miner’s song about “Big John”.  Or Jim Crocie’s “don’t mess around with slim”. 

Nobody questions the meaning of those songs.  But I wonder why we haven’t heard a song about the true wickedness, meanness, and general mayhem directed at God.  The lyrics might include such things as: “Go away, I don’t need your help. . .”.  Or, “I don’t care how much you love me, I love my sins all the more”.  Then there’s that line they do all the time but never talk about,  “Wish I’d been there at the crucifixion” .

I admit it would be out of character for the world to be honest.  But at least it would make people face the truth of their relationship with Jesus.

Can You Say Weird?

It’s ok to have our nation run by serial liars who have a sincere hatred for Christianity.  It’s ok if they just bend every law, as they apparently feel the need to do quite often.  It’s ok to give those people more money, power, and honor. Evidently.

But let a conservative step up to lead and the nation goes nuts.  We’re not even talking about someone spouting Christian beliefs.  Just wanting a reasonable approach to governing, balanced spending, and allowing the people to assume more responsibility for their own lives, is enough to provoke a linch mob.

Weird, huh?  The only reason for this, that I can tell, is demonic activity.  Why not?  Where’s the godly activity?

Is God Prone to Violence?

By the way people keep away from God you would think He is a horribly violent individual.  I am not making fun of the unsaved or ungodly folk.  I am just pointing out a rather curious “confusion”.

Jesus is the exact representation of His Father in Heaven.  So if we look at Jesus’ character and actions we can determine if God is violent by nature.

Read the Gospels (matthew, mark, luke and john).  Besides the event in the temple where Jesus made a whip and drove out the greedy, where do you find violence in Him?  (Take note that the people were displaying a misunderstanding of God’s reason for building a temple).  The answer will have to be “nowhere”.  Why, then, are folks so terrified at the Bible, Christians who love to share the knowledge of salvation, godly living, a consistent prayer habit, and going to church?

The answer is not found in God.  The answer is to be found in the people’s love of every form of pleasure and wickedness.  Yep!  That’s right folks!  You find yourself shying away from God because the idea of making friends with Holiness is a sincere offence to you.  By our very nature we are far too proud to humble ourselves before Him and ask for help. 

Yet help is exactly what Jesus is offering.  He promises to work with you to transform you from a God hater to a God lover.  I know you don’t think much of that God lover stuff yet.  But you’ll see, in time, why Christians aren’t afraid to be hated by the world.  And in the place of hopeless futile little pleasures and foolish pride appears a magnificent joy.

Who would know better what is right, good, lasting and perfect behavior,  God (who has been forever and will never cease to live) or man?  He is watching you read this.  Do you care?  Tell Him so.  Listen to Him.  He has promised to lead us to righteousness, love, and eternal life.  If only we will just listen and obey.  If you cant hear, tell Him.
