Depart? Nope.


“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it”.  

The young child is where the foundation is laid.  I’ve seen this put another way, “It’s easier to raise up a child toward righteousness than to repair an adult”.

The inverse of the proverb, then, is also true:  “The adult who was not trained to adopt those things foundational to righteous living has very little chance of adopting the heavy responsibilities associated with rigteousness.  If he tries, the things of wickedness he learned to employ as a child will be crushed in the weight of responsibility.  Or his life will simply crumble for lack of a solid foundation.

Regardless, it is far better to train the child.  But how shall a untrained nation of parents/adults raise up godly people?  Now, this is where the living Gospel of Christ Jesus comes to bear.  Search it for yourself.

Sitting Bull’s revelation


” I will give them to you because they have no ears”  this was spoken in a revelation to sitting Bull.  In a very short time Custer and all his men were given into the hands of the Indians.

Does this mean that Jesus blessed the Indians because they were righteous?  If it should have anything to do with the righteousness of men it would be the unrighteousness of the white man’s encroachment on Indian land for the sake of greed.  And that such people would not listen to reason from the Holy Lord of life.

The white man was not listening to what is true.  But let us not ignore the fact that Indians embraced slavery and all kinds of violence for the sake of gain.  It was not your purity of religion that God was looking at it was purity of will to listen and to obey.

What stands out more clearly to me is the sovereignty of God over all men.  And we should not consider it strange that God should speak to the Indians without the gospel.  For the judgment of God will be rendered to all men regardless their nationality customs or religion.  And let us not forget what he himself has said, “Out of the mouths of babes you have ordained praise”.

Be careful not to discount what I have written here because it has to do with a revelation to Indians.  Instead let us consider carefully that God is sovereign in his judgment and actions among the dealings of men. 

“To he who has more will be given and he will have in abundance.  But he who does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken from him”.

By His Grace.
