We set the alarm to wake up. All day long the calendar is filled with alarms to remind us; to provoke us to do what we should.
The calendar of life begins with birth. Millions of alarms are set during the course of our life.
Have you set the alarm in your life for the day that comes to all men?
“. . . each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment” (Hebrews 9: 27)
By His Grace
Mocking virtue is the business of those who have none. It is not a business of jealousy or greed. It is a business run by pure evil.
Yet to make a mockery of those who work in that factory, is to displace virtue with judgment.
Those who work in high-rise construction often tie their tools to their person. Care is taken for the sake of others below.
Those to whom virtue is displaced, are like a careless highrise worker.
Let those on the ground mock the workers in the air as they tie their tools to their wrists. It is not because they lack control or dexterity.
It is for the sake of those who mock, that we bind virtue tightly. Judgment is reserved for he who never makes a mistake.
Let us make our assessments with the wisdom of God. Those who mock can be a sincere distraction. But let us keep clear and intense focus, that those who move below may have a place to live.

Unless a person agrees to a contract independently, there is no contract. In the world this is referred to as strongarming.
The Gospel is offered as a contract between the individual and the living God. He will not bully anyone into accepting the contract of the Gospel.
The tactics of wicked men are not used by the Holy Lord of life. If you want to live for eternity you must agree to the Lord’s terms willingly.
To hope in your own righteousness will only result in your creation of a new contract offer. But will your contract please God? Does the sacrifice of the Son of God get included in your offer? If not, you have nothing to offer.

The farm lands of the world were not intended to bear crops. The farm lands of the world were intended to bear thankful souls.

Take note of the animals that use cover and camouflage to move about and hunt.
Notice how vulnerable they are if they are exposed.
The worm is helpless without the earth to cover him.
The lion hunts in vain when there is no concealment.
The snake is crafty, using both.
The sparrow hawk hovers above the line of sight. If he will eat, he must keep his place.
Concealment is necessary for animals.
But what Christian has the right to conceal the light of God; to hide within the acceptable social framework?
The Lord Jesus was exposed and died, for the sake of the salvation you hope for. How is it you live out your faith with stealth?
Those who trust in him, will live though they die. Can you say you have come to believe this?
Billions pass them by, not the slightest awareness they have just passed a Christian.
They will not ask. Is this the concealment you hope for; the willing ignorance of men?
By His Grace
Waking brings him near.
The daylight testifies to him with loud and colorful words.
The night, and even sleep, are times of expectation.
He trains the soul to love him.
Hunger for the Holy Lord erupts like a pent up volcano; no one can quench it
This, in measure of the words of men, is how it is for those the Lord has called to be his own.
The world ascribes these things to those who are set aside as pastors or priests.
They say:
“Let them wear the cloth or other significant clothing. Let them remain in the building we have allowed to be called the church. Force them, by expectation, to live as marked men. In this way we will know who to avoid; who to share our convenient and crafty lies with. Who it is due, that we should render our list of convenient excuses.
Let us war with fairness. Let the enemy be marked blatantly. How else can we subject them? How else can we control their evil influence? Even among the enemies of our own blood, uniforms are displayed. Make it be so with them.”
But the Lord has seen the folly. He has allowed man to play and evil charade. All the while men think they have contained what is holy, the living God has raised up a people in their midst.
Hate the Lord’s people, old wicked an adulterous world. Divide them and secluded them from all your unholy ways. Despise the one who glorifies the Holy Name of God in your presence. The fire of God will never leave his people.
But it is your religion to cast away the things of the living God. It is the religion of this world to destroy the things of heaven.
God will never be touched by your abomination of faithless faith. You put your faith in what is not. The living God will not be contained.
Litigate against the Lord’s people. Separate them. Mark them and place them in containment. Still they wander among you free men.
You will never contain the living God.
