In the likeness


He who continues in a life of rebellion against the Holy God can be likened to wild animals.  Such creatures do as pleases them, regardless where their feet take them.  They pursue ambition blindly, and ignorant of a certain and present danger.

There is the land and presence of man.  If a creature proves that he will not stop molesting what the man treasures, death or inevitable and permanent restraint  approaches quickly.

Imagine that a few animals were able to conspire against man as man does against God.  Would the animals understand the deadly instruments the man may wield?  Quite likely, not.

Once a bullet has found flesh, it does what bullets do.  Whether death or serious injury, change is made in the conspiracy.  But until the confrontation the conspiracy continues.

Man can be likened to God, in that he has patience.  Is there not an end to the patience of man?  How is it man assumes there is no end to the patience of God?  And yet they conspire with confidence.

Who is wise among men but that he ceases his activity of conspiracy?  Who is wise among men but that he that appeals to the “Most High” for truce?

Who is foolish among men but he who does not consider these things?  Who is foolish among men but he who continues in his rebellion thinking their are no consequences?

Conspiracy


Coast to Coast AM

I drive at night.  And just to stay awake I often listen to the am radio talk shows.  I’ve found I can’t listen long anymore.  The things they talk about are so amazingly incomplete.

There is a show that comes on quite late called “Coast to Coast”.  The format is anything having to do with paranormal.  One time the host was asked for calls from people who had stories of paranormal activity.  He took a call from a Christian woman who talked about the relationship between Jesus and His people.  The host said that he was looking for “paranormal” stories and that Jesus was not paranormal.  I laughed and shut him off.  What he was looking for was demon activity.  He had no interest in God.

But last night I turned it on for a while to get something to think about.  There was a man talking about a movie about mars.  I confess I didn’t care about what he was talking about so much as to get something to rant about as I drove through the night.  He was spouting something about conspiracy.  And something occurred to me that he would not really appreciate.

Let’s say he discovered a conspiracy of weapons or energy that was being used against mankind.  What then?  Let’s say he chased his discovery to the end and had those arrested who were plotting against us all.  What then?  40,000 others would move into the vacuum left by those arrested.  So he is wasting his entire life chasing after something futile.  He might claim that he saved mankind from some terrible problem.  But he hasn’t done a single thing to curb the onslaught of wickedness.

And this is what I came away with last night.  If such men, as those who search after weird little thoughts, would concern themselves with a certain conspiracy they would go a lot farther in helping man.   There is a conspiracy that does warrant attention.  And this conspiracy gets horribly little attention.  There is a conspiracy of rebellion in the world.  It is first a rebellion against the God who made us all.  We naturally hate His rule among us.  And for the second point,  this rebellion is destroying the entire world.   Billions have already received their eternal sentence of separation from the Living God.  And the tide of death is not stemmed yet.   Now, if he spent his entire life chasing and exposing that rebellion, he would really be doing something worth while.
