To Quit or Not to Quit.


We stumble into sin.  All of us do.  For some, the sins are far less frequent than they are for others.  Let’s be real, some sins seem bit a speck of dust compared with the sins of other people.  But the bond is broken between the sinner and God.  The fear, pain and humiliation is just as real no matter the sin.

Many times the temptation comes to just quit trying.  It’s a real and vivid part of being a Christian.  But many don’t give up.  Why?

Because they consider that it is better to be caught trying to obey.  Because they consider that it is preferable to be least in the Kingdom of God than to fall into judgment.  And because they realize that they have walked some distance before this day, and are determined to walk a few steps farther.  Yeah, the call of Jesus is that compelling and sweet.

But the singular reason why they get up and try again is that they have become convinced about one truth.  GOD CANNOT LIE!

Our Day is Here


We have left all to follow after the promise of Jesus.  The world scorns us as fools, for we do not any longer live as they.  Let them laugh, scorn, whisper against us, and mock the Lord we serve.  We are compelled to seek His face.  He has spoken to us as to the burden of sins which are sure to drag us into oblivion.  And with this speaking He has announced to each one of us the promise of eternal life in His Holy Son.

Let them consider Jesus’ people as human waste. 

Their day is fast approaching. 

Let them live in filth of soul. 

Their day is fast approaching.

Let them be first.

Their day is fast approaching.

Let them win according to the world’s definition of the word “win”.

Their day is fast approaching.

The Christian’s day is here!

God cannot lie, and He has promised life to all who:

Call upon the Holy name of His Son,

And who submit themselves to His Holy Rule;

To rid themselves of every evil thing which brings Him shame.

Their day is coming.

Our day is here!

Theology.


Theology is the “God knowledge”.  Men use that term to study God as one would study a germ.  They dissect the Bible as though it were a dead frog.  But that is not what I mean by the use of that word.

Theology is a seeking after the Holiness of God.  It is not a scientific Christianity.   Seeking God is useful to all.  Scientific debate is useful for no one.  The former changes lives.  The latter tends to “puff up”.  (This post would surely ruffle the puffy feathers of those who hold their brains so dear.)
