Place the flame of the candle next to the Sun.

Place a grain of sand next to the earth.

Consider the wisdom of a worm as opposed to an old wise man.

Hold up a blade of grass against the night sky.  Let the stars teach you about age.

What is man that he should presume to know more than God?

Will the wisest among us unravel the simplest of mysteries?

Who among men is sure he will live to ten thousand years inside this bag of blood?  120 is the limit imposed.

Cultivate respect for the Lord.  Even allow fear to reside.  We are but feeble even in the flash of our life. 

We wake in the morning with grand plans.  Yet by half a rotation of the earth we are spent, weak and exhausted.

Wisdom, therefore, fears the Lord.  When our best is counted, it adds up to nothing.

Wisdom fears the Lord.

NSA, FBI, CIA, HLS,


They tell us the government has been spying on us.  There’s a lot of people that are fairly well upset about that.

Personally I don’t see what the big deal is.  God has been spying on man since the beginning of creation.  Very few even think about that let alone talk about it.  As an aside,  his audio visual has no limit.

To the opposition


If you were to go so far as to mimic the ways of the past, in which Christians were killed for what they believe, you would be no closer to success.  For you would only have murdered the Lord’s people.  You would not yet have touched the living God nor rendered him any harm.

And let us suppose that you confront the best scholar of Christ.  We will allow that, by the standards of logic and science, a man might obliterate the testimony of Christ.  But your victory is only among men.  You have yet to appear before the living God and give the arguments you think are true.

I tell you a truth.  We are all a product of the father of life.  This father has provided his beautiful son that we may own hope to live.  And those who hope do not hope only, but we have the testimony within us from he who cannot lie.

What I have told you here is true.  And the point of this article is that your denial of the truth means nothing.

Futility


The atheist will mock people of faith.  I have even seen someone refer to the living God as the sky fairy.  But you need not be concerned, my atheist friends.  I will hold nothing against you.

You point at us and say we are pathetic.  Let us take a look at the definition of pathetic.

The atheist is born and unwanted child.  Even though mommy and daddy may well have desired him, he appears as one who is not destined for anything.  According to the atheist there is no one beyond  time to desire him.  Therefore his mother and father have given birth to nothing.

The atheist lives his life for the sake of a good cause, or so he would have us believe.  But how can abject  futility produce a good cause? They are trying to convince us that logic says, “something can come from nothing”. 

Such a man wars to protect futility.  What an odd country of origin. The atheist will only have brotherhood as long as he is able or willing to speak.  But when he ceases to contribute what value is he?  Some may speak of what he has said.   But the man himself does not live in history.  Before he is dead they ignore his existence.  What an odd Brotherhood.

He was not before he was born.  He was not in his life though he lived among us.  And according to him,  though you look for him he will not be found.

What sort of mind holds to these things?  With what do they busy themselves?  What could possibly be useful in such a life?  Such a man is forced to busy himself with the things of pride.  And to try to destroy the peace of others.  He was nothing more than a branch blowing in the wind which disturbs a peaceful Lake.

The Way of Humility

Every man thinks he is something when he does not listen to the words of God. Thus a proud man is formed.

 

How is a humble man produced?

 

Let the proud man read the Good words God has written, and humility approaches with steady gait.

 

Let him cease reading what is good and humility will stop his approach.

 

Let him return to prideful ways and humility returns to God.
