Righteous Assessments


They criticized the alcoholic.
Because he is compared to those who are not.

They criticize the violent.
Because he has compared to those who take care not to hurt.

They criticize the drug addict.
Because he is compared to those who are fully productive.

People do these things among themselves, admitting that there is a righteous life.

How is it then that the lovers of money are not compared to the rule of God and Jesus?

How is it that those who lust after the flesh are not counted as sinful minded, when compared to the Glory of Christ in God?

How is it that those who look down on others do not look up in regard to themselves?

Love Everybody


How many times I’ve heard it and knew there was something wrong.  “Love everybody no matter what they’re doing.”

According to sentimental value I would rate that about a 10.  But as far as truth goes I rate that below zero.

Love does not let you stand at the edge of a cliff and smile while you jump to your death.

Love does not ignore the truth of the Living God for the sake of your injured pride.

Love will gladly take your ridicule and hatred, for don’t you already hate the one who sent us.

Love is for life, eternal life.  Love does not cater to the pleasures of sin.

See the bee sitting on my jugular vein.  Wouldn’t the one who loves me brush it off quickly.  Should I despise him because his slap hurt?

God challenges us to love the sinner enough to sacrifice ourselves so that we may wake them up!  No, we can’t all just get along!

A Favor to Yourself


The face of your existence will change, as it does with every human that has ever been born.  You will walk through the door of death and enter into a place that has always been.  That’s an absolute guarantee.

It doesn’t matter what you gain here.  You will still encounter THE radical change.

If you were to be given 300 million dollars, you could spend the rest of this life doing what you please.  But take a good look at what you please to do.  Does your pleasure involve the things of the place that has forever been?  According to the Lord’s own words, that’s very unlikely.

Perhaps a hundred years.  That’s all we have.  Then, beyond our volition, we are ushered into the place of Eternity.  Whose pleasure we have desired will determine our riches forever.  Or our extreme poverty.

I’m not talking about religion here.  I’m talking about our own will to do God’s desire.

Kelly Willard was right when she said, “If you don’t have a willing heart ask Him to give you one”. 

Count as best you can (the clock is running down), how much time are you sure you have left?  How much of you does Jesus deserve to own?  Your estimation determines God’s bounty.

Now do yourself a favor.  Act on what you know.

Spiritual Pedophiles

I couldn’t sleep.  I got up and looked to see what the people say.  And I found this.

At first I was irritated.  Then I saw it with eyes of Truth.  As my soul rested to think in Christ, this scripture came to mind:  “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”

They throw the pedophile in jail.  And aren’t the people happy that such a violent and offensive man is taken off the streets.  If they release him back into society, they put signs on his front lawn.  And everyone knows,  “This is a destroyer of our children”.

All the while, so-called righteous men of this world  destroy the faith their own children.  And no one says a word!!!!!!!!

But isn’t this your time!  Don’t the souls of men belong to you to do as seems right to your perverted mind.

The courts of men, the Christians, the decent people, they will not inhibit your desire.  But the Court of God will judge rightly!  But isn’t this your day to do as you please.

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?

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?
