So many think it is admirable to wield a good argument. Just as many more think it is wise to shut your mouth and offer no good advice. What they are saying by these things boils down to this: “Either kill them or let them die”.
What’s that mean to you?
How I find my soul longing, from time to time, for the place where the following is not:
The torrent of vulgarities, Lies, hatred, violence, wickedness in all its various forms, Godless gods worshipped by empty Souls, the flood of Sorrow we own from the day we are born, the Hopeless fear of loneliness, the endless oppression of weakness, the constant and frantic gathering for those things we should not have, the ceaseless grappling for knowledge, etc.
In the place I am desiring, all that is good thrives and grows. In the place I am presently living, everything that is good is referred to as a shame. The diligent receive vulgar labels. The unrighteous are heralded as icons of maturity.
I long for a rain of righteous words. I search for a field of beings whose pure smiles are full of endless Joy. Here we pay dearly for a simple friendly embrace. But in this place I have heard of, friendship never ceases.
Here they love you as long as you are profitable. But love in the place of my heart has no measure or monetary value.
Days turn into weeks, weeks turn to months, months turn into years and years turn to decades; where the lack of Love begins to wear down the mind.
Let hatred die, as surely it must. Let the despising isolation fade Into Oblivion. Let the race for pride fall in mid gait.
Come Lord Jesus!

A new billboard scars the land of man. “LOVE WINS”.
I was in the room while the news spoke of this. They showed an old man with a white beard saying that they chose this message because it is not offensive to either side.
With what control I could use, I restrained my voice as I muttered, “Define love, son.” Love honors what is Holy. It is the lust of man that renders Holy as if it were some evil thing. It is the “love of man” that obscures the Love of God.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7New International Version (NIV)
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
So I have some questions about this:
Is it love to demand your own way at the insult of others?
Is it love to redefine a great volume of words so that they match your ideology?
Is it love to force your preference of sexual experience on others, simply because you think you have “rights”?
Hey folks. Listen to this. “God is Love”. Man is, by his nature, an offence to the Love of God. Are we exempt from offence because we nullify the Love of God; the Holy One before whom NO evil will ever stand?
You think you’ve come up with another victory because you think you can use the word love to uphold your selfish choices. You think, “Surely, they will respect this message. ‘Love Wins” can’t possibly upset anyone.” Have you considered the Only One who matters? Have you consulted His eternal wisdom as you make your plans to retain your sins? God is Sovereign. Why do you allow yourself to “guess” about what offends Him? All the while, the Bible stands ready to be read with understanding.
But this is your day to do as you please. I, and many others, stand to warn: The day is soon coming when all Man will be silenced. God will have His Holy Day to do as pleases Him. No longer will there be a redefinition of words. He will speak with eternal clarity. He will not hide behind crafty words. Who will be able to bear what He will say?
So much to say. Who will bother to listen?
I wrote a post called “Dear Active Atheist”. It was not quite as successful as I’d like, though it wasn’t a completely worthless venture. I tried to offer a platform of reasoning. But no one seriously took the offer.
So what have I learned? I learned that men call themselves atheists because they love the idea that there is nothing to be accountable to.
I learned a crucial side benefit for them in their godless thoughts; with no conscience to hold them down, they allow themselves to seek all possible notoriety (regardless the cost to anyone else).
And lest I had forgotten, I am reminded of what selfish brute beasts they are. If they are not busy pursuing selfish pleasure, they are actively destroying the lives of those with hope. In the best of my estimation, they are not a benign tumor in the body of humanity.
If it is a pursuit of pleasure you desire, why don’t you just call yourself a hedonist? Why go so far as to say there is no God? So on that note, honesty just isn’t enough. I don’t think you’re an atheist, I think you’re just willfully ignorant. In which case you are nothing special at all.
I have also learned that the atheist is a thief. If he is not actively doing damage to those with hope, he is stealing from the mass of humanity by failing to take into account the larger picture. A man can only teach what he knows.
The majority of mankind at least recognizes that there is a larger picture. Denying the portion of religion and the supernatural, the Atheist robs his fellow man of what is apparently crucial knowledge to all.
Let me finish this by addressing self aggrandizement. There’s no God in the atheist’s mind. So he raises himself to fill the void. If others don’t agree with his newfound royalty, the atheist becomes livid. It is because of simple posts like this, that I have been witness to explosive outbursts that fall just short of the legal line.
Once again my conclusion is correct. At best the atheist is a worthless member of society. At worst he is violence in the waiting.
I have reported my observations according to what I witness. If you atheists have something else to offer that can soften my observations toward you, please present it. I am not hard hearted. I simply lack any proof of your value.
And please, be wisely aware that displaying any of the things I have already mentioned will do absolutely nothing to change my observations. What credible value are you to humanity?

Man is placed in a place remote. For if his place were among the things of God, Man would try to dethrone Him.
This place of testing, this place of proving, this place of violence or love.
This place of choices, this place of life or death, this place of time and decay.
This place of anarchy, this place of treason, this place of hatred or faith.
They refuse to listen. They despise the one who speaks. And at every possible convenience, they turn away from knowledge.
This place of filthy, this place of ludicrous, this place of blood and flesh.
This place of confusion, this place of pride, this place of accomplishment and humiliation.
Lest every man be utterly destroyed, God has set a place for rebellion.
This place of wondering, this hopelessness, place of vile distrust, this place of alienation and rare embrace.
Two doors exit this place. One is wide to accommodate the masses. The other is so narrow you cannot point it out.
One is proportioned for the violent fits which company the chaos of rebellion. The other is only large enough for the soul.
We must all leave this place. But we do not all arrive in the same Place.
Every man who owns rebellion alone, will certainly find himself alone.
But every man who has been stripped of rebellion, to a sort, that which remains cannot die. Lessened, such men will find good company.
In all things, the endlessly spacious Place of God is utterly unlike ours.
Moment by moment, every man chooses his destiny. But let us not think that the destiny of man is varied in context. No! There is either eternal inclusion, or eternal desperation.
Debate all these things, Oh wandering souls of men. Or kneel before the Living God in faith. Plead with him for understanding.
All that belongs to Man is death. All that belongs to God is Life in Christ Jesus His holy and Righteous Son.

What’s wrong with this picture?
From their own imagination, they gather to themselves great crowns of righteousness! Not only do they boast in their own inheritance, but they refuse to honor the One who is Clean.
But go ahead, lap it up America; like a hungry dog at a bowl of milk. The wrath of God waits patiently.
