Forsaken Owner

A vast apartment complex? No.  A trailer park a mile square?  No.  A high rise condominium in China.  No.  But over 2000 lived there at the same time.

Evicted, all of them, in a moment.  All their filth left behind.  The owner is left, for the rest of his life, to clean every room on his hands and knees.  Even the homeless are forbidden to live there again.

“Please let me go with you!  Nothing remains for me here!”  The owner begs to leave.  The answer comes from the compassionate enforcer.  “Stay here and tell everyone how I have cleaned out those detestable tenants.”

Without another word, the Savior is gone. 

They may well believe this man’s horror has come to an end.  But who will befriend him?  Who will take him into their house while he cleans what is left of his own?  Driven mad by detestable tenants, he now faces sanity and responsibility.  And he will face it alone.

Can we blame them for despising this poor wretched owner?  He frightens the children at his approach.  This conversation has nothing to do with anything but God.  He has no other trade but breathing.  To them he is fearsome, by virtue of history, and useless to the future.

I thank God my Savior, the Holy One of the living God, for giving me this place to serve.  Cast out by my former folly, here I can add to his wonderous bounty.

Praise to the living God.  For in Christ Jesus, he even redeems such as I.

By His Grace

Play day, everyday

I don’t want to see a show of hands.  I’m not interested in a 2000 page spreadsheet.  I don’t want to talk to a statistician.  And I don’t particularly have a craving to see someone respond to this post.  But I wonder how many people realize they’re being played.

From the time you were born until the time you die, somebody or something is playing you.  You got needs, and your basic necessities are often played against you.  You got wants, and there is a variety of enemies arrayed against your desire.

Now it’s pretty easy to go through and make a real thick book describing all of those things.  But you already know about how the world plays you.  You’re even aware of how you play yourself.  At least you should be.

But not many people are aware of a certain group that plays people 24 /7.  They’re a forgotten clan.  Virtually the only time they were even mentioned is in some Hollywood horror movie.  So when I call them what we know them to be I’m going to get laughed at.  I don’t particularly care.  I’m not gonna let ignorance play me.

I’m not here to spook people.  I’m trying to draw attention to a fact.  You can’t see them, hear, taste, smell or touch em.  But I can tell you demons are a big part of the corruption in this world.

I don’t care what they look like.  And I’m not here to call em out so we can have a squabble.  I’m just bringing up an age old truth.

If you don’t believe in them, then you don’t believe in the gospel of Christ Jesus.  So this whole article won’t do you any good anyway.

They were pretty healthy when Jesus was here with us.  So let me ask you a simple question.  If they’re not still here where’d they go?    You think they went to some distant planet for a vacation for a few thousand years?   You are more Looney than me if you believe that.

They whisper to you, and you think you just had a thought.  They watch for opportunity to destroy you.  They don’t spit vomit.  And they don’t make your eyes bug out.  They simply enhance your own wicked desire a thousand fold.  Whatever chance you had to be a righteous person is thrown right out the window.

If you don’t have Jesus as your Lord, a rock-solid prayer life, and habits that reflect holiness, you’ll have no way to defend against them.  They’ll tear you down like a tornado and there won’t be any rising.

If this is the first time you’ve heard any of this you’re probably……..  Dunno.  I have no idea what your response might be.  But I can assure you with absolute certainty, you’ve been played by demons.  And if you scoff at this you’re likely being played right now.

If you believe what I’m saying, this is likely to get you angry.  If you don’t believe, what’s that to me?  You won’t be able to tell the difference between a normal day or a played day anyway. 

But if realizing this makes you a little hot headed, don’t waste your time on a rant.  Simply turn your attention to the Lord Jesus Christ.  He’s been watching the whole scene all along.  He’s more than able to set you free from being played by demons.

Yeah but, what about what’s up?

Flock of barncale geese on autumn migration.

I was waxing the car and my little dog was standing near me.  I heard some geese approaching.  I told her to look for the bird.  She got busy lookin.  Problem is, she kept looking straight ahead.  She never did see the geese.

Later, as I was driving, the incident helped me in a rather startling way, to understand something from an entirely different perspective.  She help me understand salvation from a dog’s perspective.

The sea is not teeming with animals.  Neither is the sky.  The teeming happens on the ground.  I have heard there are plenty of times you could be underwater and never see a fish.  And more times than not,  I can look up at the sky and not see a bird.  But the bugs and germs and animals and humans and birds and snakes……..  It just goes on and on, on the ground.

There are evil man who never touch the ground, in a manner of speaking.  They do they’re evil deeds out of the sight of men.  They are more of the demonic than human.

The majority of men however live their life in full sight of one another.    These folks just strive to survive.  They are neither overtly wicked nor coveting holiness.  These are the type that if you told them to look for God they would not look up.  They would look for a miracle.

But like the birds, there are a few who inhabit heaven. The majority of these men get their subsistence from the earth but they are not bound to it.  Their natural habitat is the sky.  They do not own the neck of a dog.  To look up and to go up is more natural for them then to remain on the earth.

As for hope for the others: the Lord Himself has made these people who inhabit the sky. And he is quite able to transform any who ask.  Finally, let us remember that there are such things as flying fish and flying squirrels ( not to mention bats and such.)

Can You Say Weird?

It’s ok to have our nation run by serial liars who have a sincere hatred for Christianity.  It’s ok if they just bend every law, as they apparently feel the need to do quite often.  It’s ok to give those people more money, power, and honor. Evidently.

But let a conservative step up to lead and the nation goes nuts.  We’re not even talking about someone spouting Christian beliefs.  Just wanting a reasonable approach to governing, balanced spending, and allowing the people to assume more responsibility for their own lives, is enough to provoke a linch mob.

Weird, huh?  The only reason for this, that I can tell, is demonic activity.  Why not?  Where’s the godly activity?
