Finality


Last night the Lord returned in his Glory, taking all those who were wise enough to be “awake”.  If you are reading this you have missed the day of his appearing.

It is now your lot to endure the wrath of God.  You are, as has been said, “Left Behind”.

Is there fear in your soul as you read those words? 

I say with surety, they are only a warning.  The Glorious Lord Jesus is yet to be dispatched.  But when that day comes there will surely be many more mornings.

Mornings of terror. 
Mornings of hopeless rage. 
Mornings of famine. 
Mornings of plague.  
Mornings of war. 
Mornings of difficulty this world has never seen.

This may very well be the last day you have, to receive God in the fullness His wisdom has determined to give to Man.  Worship the Living God in Christ His only Son, or perish through the Promised Enduring.

Rather, Be Trivial


We are taught to give up.

We are taught to be trivial.

“Do these things and you will be satisfied.

Abstain from the things of God;

See how complicated and unknown are God’s things to man.

See how many versions of God scream to be first.

See how it is right to give up the search.

Be satisfied with what you have, and do not seek more than is reasonable.”

Rather be trivial.

Rather live with the love that you have.

Rather be diligent with the things you already know how to do.

Perceive the beautiful things of living life;

among your fellow men,

Among the sustaining of this world.

Among the limitations of chaos,

Among the decaying pattern of this place,

And among the innate desire to laugh.

Truth says clearly:

“You KNOW this is not the sum of things.

You KNOW there is More to be had.

You KNOW the ways of man are not the fullness of life.

You KNOW you will one day cease here.

You KNOW you will be inspected with absolute scrutiny.

Do you KNOW the name of the One who will inspect?

The Fire of Emotion


From the Blues of Johnny Winter to the sweet song of Mommy with a nursery rhyme.  The function of music is to embrace emotion.

I watched Johnny Winter play.  Getting past his looks, his involvement in his music is kind of scary.  I can’t help but wonder whose emotion is he embracing?

There are only two spirits in this world.  One is of love, the other is of abandon.  Whose spirit embraces the music you listen to?

Entertaining Them to Death


It would be very pleasant if this post were to reach a certain set of ears.  But I’m not stupid.  The ears that need to hear this aren’t listening.  I’m writing this post because I passed by a church put a small rodeo on its property.

There is a rather popular belief in today’s church.  It is a belief that says, “If we provide entertainment the people will at least have an opportunity to listen”.  So these churches provide all kinds of entertainment for the masses.

I could go on and on about how ridiculous this approach is.  But for the sake of bland truth, I’ll just make the following statements.

All day long, everyday, every night, everywhere without ceasing, entertainment is king of this world.  How deeply and irrevocable is the desire of the flesh to be entertained.  But the desire of the Spirit of God is to bring men to understanding in the things that are not of the flesh.  It is God’s desire to reveal the grandness of His Majesty.

We do men no favor by giving them what they want.  In fact we harm them.  What is it about the Living God that is similar to Man’s ways?  What right does man have, to throw the mud of men’s filth on the body of Christ?  Isn’t the revelation of the Living God’s Christ stupendous enough in its own right?  And isn’t that simple laziness to revert to entertainment.

I guess we have to ask the question, are we lovers of men or lovers of the Most High God’s Holy Son.  The answer is quite personal, for we will be commanded to give a personal accounting.

There’s a whole lot more, but you’re probably tired of reading it.

There is another deadly disease that the World Health Organization won’t even recognize, spiritual rebellion.

It just goes to show you, self diagnosis is rarely accurate or useful.

It’s Going Terminal


The doctor said America’s sickness may be terminal.

He recommended daily ethics exercises, the majority of which should be done from the kneeling position.

He did not recommend heavy lifting; the lifting of one’s hands is best, given the ailment.

He also suggested that America might want to join a therapeutic group; one that can lay out a clear path to recovery.

I asked him if he had any particular group he would suggest more than all the others.

“Yes.” He said. “I have found that the only group capable of rectifying this kind of emergency, was the group they call ‘The Way'”.

And he recommended strongly that America should distance itself from those who simply give up and die.

I asked him what caused this. He told me it was a drug addiction.

America has been drinking the poison of liars for far too long.

What we really need is a prescription of truth elixir. But he was afraid to prescribe it because the patient is so weak.
