Living Faith.

“From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it” [Matt. 11:12, NIV].

What is saving faith?  Men chase after all manner of religion.  And though they know better, they hold tight to what is offered by man.  It’s the teachers who speak of limits, not God.  Men will tell you that God no longer speaks to man.  And others riddicule healing by the power of God.  Some would even go so far as to say there is no power of God among men.

But the forceful will seek farther.  They reach a barrier and read of promises which speak of “more”.  They feel the restrictions of the flesh and think to themselves, “This is not all there is”.  These are the men who find the power of Jesus Christ;  that living faith which moves mountains in their way. 

“. . . when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”  (Luke 18: 8)  This passage speaks of “The Faith”.  The living faith based and founded on the promises of the Living God.  There is no weakness in the Living God.  And He desires that there be no weakness in His people. 

Strain against the lies.  Press against your doubt.  Fall into the hurricane which speaks against the Living God.  Grasp what is promised and live in the Living God.

Trouble’s Boy

From whom do the words of warning come, when all appears so rosy?

From he who sits with lovely friends, in houses warm and cozy?

Such words don’t come from those who sleep.

Nor do they come from joy.

As lightning strikes and burns the grass,

warnings come from trouble’s boy.

The Assembly Line.

You were given the words of life by the indestructible power of the Most High God.  He Spoke the Word and Life was given to man.  It was by the power of the Spirit of God that you have received this Word.  And you have turned His Holy Power into an assembly line. 

He, by the Living God, gave His testimony of life to man.  And God testified to His words.  He said that no life will remain but through His Glorious name.  But you cause men to become by the power of your machine.  You devise methods.  You create music.  You build a place where man’s ears and eyes are dazzled.  You place fine furniture in a room and gather to conspire against sin.  You write books regarding what is Holy.  And you buy your next chariot on the reward gathered.  “Great is the modern assembly line called the church.

Yet it is He who saves!  It is God’s powerful hand who reaches into a heart to divide sin from righteousness!  And He continues to save apart from your machine.  Thousands approach Him in prayer every day and every night who have not been produced by a chorus of modern praise.  They light the night with the power of the Most High God blazing through the heart He has given them.  He whispers glorious truth to His people and never turns the switch of a finely tuned PA system.  Their knees grow hard as they submit to His Glory, for they do not sit in thousand dollar seats.

He has set the heavens ablaze with the wonder of His hand.  He spoke and men fell on their faces in awe.  It is to God alone that all Glory will be rendered!  His Spirit does not wear expensive suits to proclaim death to the wicked and life to the humble.  There is no stained glass marvel at the Blazing Throne of God Most High.  And no man can purchase the beautiful peace He offers by appearing before the altar of the assembly line.  It is through the Power of God that man is saved.

You ponder the fate of your building in this tough economic time.  You ponder the dwindling numbers of flesh in your chairs.  You marvel at the lack of Biblical knowledge among the machines you produce.  Yet it is God Himself who inspires to Holiness.

By His Grace.

Caught Working.

There was a professor at a certain college who would be so caught up in the beauty of the knowledge of God that he would often be seen wandering the campus without the slightest regard to the activity around him.  One night during a basketball game the players had to stop playing while this professor entered the court reading a book.  Oblivious to the game, he walked on through the gym and out the other side.  After he was gone, the game resumed.

It would do us well to be so caught up with our own service to Jesus that we overlook the chaos around us.  There was chaos before we were born.  And, without the coming of the Lord, there will be chaos when we lay dead.  What is of absolute importance is that we bend our backs to the tasks of the Lord with such intensity that we notice only He who IS.  Serve the Lord and refuse to be caught up in the distractions of the wicked.
