He gives man a place to do as a man pleases.
Wickedness thrives and the bloodshed is plentiful; blood of body, blood of soul, blood of mind, heart, and righteous potential.
But a moment comes.
The soul of every man is required.
Judgment is made, the man is sent to his proper place; his mouth shut, his hands bound forever.
Desire and prosper in what you will.
The Lord has desired and will prosper far above your reach.
Snatched away in a moment, eternity obeys God’s will.
What’s called an argument can have two meanings. One is a volatile debate between two people who are not willing to see eye to eye. No, this is a bad thing. The other can be referred to as a substantiation of something true. Yeah, that’s what I’m about to do.
The arguments for Christ are irrefutable. They can be denied, but that’s always at our loss. They can be taken wrong; that is to say, they can be taken personally as an offense. But that’s to misunderstand the entire purpose of such an argument.
Here’s an interesting argument for Christ.
The young man is out to seek a wife. He’s a good looking young boy, so there’s a lot of very beautiful and talented women who want his company. What should he choose?
If he considers himself an ugly and useless young man he’ll choose wisely. But if what he’s looking for his beauty and talent and lots of joyful unions, he’ll choose wrong.
When a man or woman except the gospel of Christ, they are taken into the house of Christ. From that vantage point they are shown numerous marvelous things. They become part of the bride of Christ. Then they are sent out into the world to be useful to their husband. They are to help him add to his bride.
What if they consider themselves beautiful and talented? Won’t they become just as useless to their husband as all the beautiful women who chased after the young man?
If a man walks out of this life proud, thinking he is righteous, he is a liar. Humiliation will take its pound of flesh.
We might fool others. And we may allow our imagination to fool ourselves. But you will not fool truth and purity.
We can play games in the dark. But the Light will shine straight through our souls. What we are, what we have done, and what we think about ourselves, will be utterly blatant.
Let’s be real. That moment of unveiling is only a few minutes away. Gain humility by truth here and now, letting humiliation show our weaknesses, or be humiliated for eternity.
This is probably better said by 1 million other people. But it’s never so clearly spoken as when we hear it and obey.
Has he found a doorway?
By rationale, they say, “We can perceive the eternal things by the work of our own hands. We don’t need Christ Jesus to see God.”
Really now.
Then what is the use of Christ’s sacrifice? What is the use of God the father elevating his Holy Son to first of all creation? Why has he said to us, “I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to God but through me.”
If a man can save himself by the work of his own hands why did God bother to suffer for our sake? If the work of our hands can bring us near to God, then we don’t need Christ! SUCCESS! Right?
Tim Linhart is famous for his ice music. A friend of mine says we should go and see this. So I looked it up.
I will not go and see it. The what he has done is interesting and wonderful. But in his explanation he attributes spiritual aspects he has no right to attribute. He says that since we are made with melted water we find a connection to spiritual things through the music of ice. Really?
Is there a door to eternity that a man may pass through by the work of his own hands? Or is the spiritual emphasis only found in the imagination of a man with some talent to wield sharp objects against ice? And, if self-salvation can be achieved through ice, why not cow pies too?
Read the Gospel. You determine for yourself what is true and what is imagination. The entirety of eternity is at stake in such presumably small details. Either Christ is King or he is of no value.
Where does justice begin? In whom does justice remain?
When the perpetrator owns his crime. When he lets God’s light on his misdeeds shine.
When the clouds of self-righteousness are blown away, by the Holy and Steady wind of God.
Then, the victim’s words are heard. Then, the burden’s shared.
Then, an anger filled brush from the tip of a feather stings;
Deeper than the cutting of a cat-o’-nine-tails whip.
Oh! Lighten the load in his brother. Justice, worn like a cloak, cannot do better.
A whisper, a look, and he “guilty”,
Is undone!
No need anymore for revenge. The prisoner of regret knows his place.
There go we all, but for God’s Grace.
Even while the people stood amazed at the freedom given to the man of the tombs, the legion of demons found new homes. While the bodies of pigs floated out to sea, the people received as open doors with welcome mats.
The demons begged that they should not have to leave the region. I guarantee you they didn’t leave. They begged to enter the pigs. I guarantee you they didn’t drown with the pigs.
No, they were alive and well. They went to work on the people of that region immediately. Read the response of the people; and they begged the Lord to leave their area.
People are being healed by the Lord these days. Where do their demons go? They go to anyone who is willing to embrace their filthy ways.
“What’s in your house?”
