It is no shame to be ignorant. Education is a simple remedy. The shame is choosing to remain ignorant. When God is so willing to teach.

Gate Guard
“Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.” (Hebrews 12: 14)
How easily we accept peace among the people, but disregard the holiness.
We pray that God will help us in our lives. Are we then a blessing to God? Or do we love Man and despise the Living Gods Holy command?
Is it possible we think we will be well received for these things?
Fine, we love those we choose to love. But how quick we are to hate. With that in mind, how can I say more and expect these words to be received.
Doesn’t pride stand guard over the gate of every man’s house?
Chitchat
She came over to me to chitchat. So, against my desire, I did chitchat. We talked about dogs. We talked about family. We talked about public schools. We talked about spanking. We talked about survival, regardless the upbringing. Finally, we got to my desire.
We were talking about the foolishness of children. And I found occasion to tell her about how the book of Proverbs turned my life toward God. But before I could finish the first sentence, she said she had to leave.
She left. I Shrugged my shoulders. But the encounter made me realize something. I don’t want to chitchat. I don’t want to talk about politics. I don’t want to talk about our problems. I don’t want to share in the ritual of blame. I want to talk the language of Heaven. I want to talk about Jesus. I want to talk about the solution.
There are two languages that people can use. One is limited to the things of Man. The other is limited to the things of God. Most people are not capable of talking about the things of God. But the one who loves the language of Heaven can talk about them both.
Define freedom.
Today. . .
O Man!
What have you done, that you wake every morning to consume without thanks? What have you commanded to be built for your pleasure? All the while forgetting the history that brought you TODAY.
It is God who supplies all the materials you misuse. Stop and consider.
Yet, I perceive you will change nothing. Today will be the same as all which came before; all praise to Man and disrespect to God.
Your greedy eye is focused on the possibilities of tomorrow. With violence you gather. With violence you retain. With selfish ambition you laugh and dance with joy. Yet the day will come when the One you have spurned appears to claim what is His.
You know what is required of you.
And shouldn’t someone speak on behalf of the One who owns all these things? Shouldn’t the light blaze as the darkness pervades?
All or Nothing
Rejection = Murder
I know why displaying public affection for Jesus is a no no.
Why would the people who murdered the Christ want to be anywhere near his Father?
