Evil?

by

​Come to think of it.  Man’s definition of the word evil is also perverted.  When someone says something is evil what they really mean is, it interrupts my chase for pleasure and peace.  Or they might replace the word my with our.
But man defines pleasure and peace according to his own desire.  He rarely considers the peace and pleasure of God.  
God made us and sacrificed his only Son so that we could have what is His.  But still I see us searching for what is ours.  
Ironic humor alert:

Without taking what God offers we have absolutely nothing, yet we fight tooth and nail to keep it.
In a sense, we might be walking dictionaries.  But we are in horrible and horrifying need of editing.  Enter, the conversation of Jesus.

Words Matter

​Man says he loves.  But isn’t that like his use of the word good?  Words matter.
There is no hatred in love at all.  But Man reserves the right to hate anyone he chooses.  “If it isn’t mine and I don’t agree, I do not love.”  Love is not selective.  Just as in good, there is no evil.
When people say they love, I’m not sure what they mean.  And I’m not sure what word we could use to describe what they actually do.  So for the time being I guess we have to use the word love.  But I think I prefer the lower case L.

Properly Disconcerting

​”He just keeps saying the same thing over and over.  We know about the gospel.”  Now they don’t say it, they just do it.  They just ignore me.  
I’m not looking for your pity.  Like all of you should be doing, I’m bringing the words of our God to the table.
You know what seriously funny about that?  Among all of you, I am the most unworthy.  What would our world be like if the people who are well accepted in this world began to speak these things?
But I fear their estimation of the power of God is infinitesimally small.  “If we start speaking about these things they will come and take away our place.”
Now there’s a thought worth pondering.

Astounding

​Cutesy words.  Captivating stories.  Murder, mayhem, chaos, violence, vengence, Intrigue, lies mixed with truth, and every other unholy thing, these draw the attention of Man.  
But lay the gospel of Christ before their eyes and they turn away in disgust.
You say that’s not true?

The Good Die Young

​Some say there is no God.  Others doubt that God cares.  Some think there is a God and that he cares, but they are left to fend for themselves in this place until they reach heaven.
Then can you explain why there is any good in this world at all?  What is it about the world that gives you the impression that good can triumph here?  A bad man succeeds, while a good man is shot down in the street.  And isn’t there a saying among us that the good die young?
The proof that there is a God remains in his faithfulness to deliver survival to a people who despised him so vehemently, and glorify violence and death.  
You think you’re in control of your life?  Think about this:
A man in India, one single man, will do a single task today.  What others have done before him, throughout the world, will dictate what he does today.  Another man in Saudi Arabia will do something today.  He’s single action will reach you or your children sooner or later.  Are you really in control of your life?
People will do what they do.  They will say, or not say, what they want.  A handful will give glory to the Majesty of God among us.  But most will live their entire life giving no glory to God at all.  They may respect him and fear him but they refuse to speak of His Holy name in public.
Yes God cares, in spite of the fact that we don’t.  God is beautiful in Jesus the Christ.  Man is a mucus mold on eternity.  Still God holds out his hand to us.  
18 “Come now, let us settle the matter,”

says the Lord.

“Though your sins are like scarlet,

they shall be as white as snow;

though they are red as crimson,

they shall be like wool.

19 If you are willing and obedient,

you will eat the good things of the land;

20 but if you resist and rebel,

you will be devoured by the sword.”  (Isaiah chapter 1)

The Sickness

I can speak of this personally.  What the world calls madness has fallen upon me.  And much like the madman who’s drool becomes a beard,  I am oblivious to their concern.

“He is not like us.  He does not prize the things of wealth.  He does not show proper concern for sickness and trouble.  He does not protect his property.  He does not show regard for proper education.  He makes a mockery of what is important to us.  He thinks every man is a liar, he doesn’t honor the necessity of political compromise.  We would call him paranoid, but he does not display the fear associated with that bend of mind.  No, this is a sickness called obsessive religion.”

And they are right.  I am obsessed with the Holy and Righteous Son of the Living God.  Worse than that, I am not ashamed.  Didn’t they accuse my God of the same thing when he walked this Earth?  

It has been said I have lost my Humanity.  Yes I’m have.  Have you looked around and defined what humanity is?  And am I supposed to take that saying as an offense?

“If he were truly from God he would have a great following.”  How many is 12?  

“Passion for your house has consumed me,

and the insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”

(And I am made greatly glad.)
