God made the Sun.
God made the rain.
God made the joy
AND
God made the pain.
God made the snow
And the ice
And the cold.
And isn’t the reflection
Found in your soul?
Give praise in the Sun!
Give praise in the rain!
Give praise in the joy,
And all throughout the pain!
One moment passed unveiling,
All will become clear.
Only let the Love of the Sovereign God.
Become your heart’s desire
DEAR!
Even, Jesus!
They say:
I’m a good dancer.
I know how to make lots of money.
I can do cartwheels.
I know how to drive fast.
I know all the fashions.
I know why everything works.
I can predict a storm.
I know human nature.
They say, an endless bevy of useless accomplishments. For certainly age and death will come to take them all away.
Can they say:
I know how to dance with the Living God in the Gospel of His Holy and Righteous Son.
I know how to trust that God is in control, no matter what comes to me, no matter my expectations, no matter my understanding.
Can they say: death and old age cannot rip away from me the hope that is displayed in every corner of my life!
Can they say they see Christ in you?
I saw the M & M’s display in a store. The little M & M’s dude was dressed up like a rabbit. What am I supposed to think?
I talked to the clerk. I mentioned that the celebration of Easter is about someone special who was raised from the grave. She happily agreed, and the conversation began.
My summation to her was a question. “If this is the state of affairs today, what will it be in 30 years?” And in retrospect, I remember the Lord saying, when the Son of man returns will he even find faith on the earth.
Driving down the road, I thought about the complexities of religions. I came to that train of thought because most people will tell you there are too many opinions and not enough facts. They refuse to investigate because they think there is no hope of conquest.
Well let me answer.
In the field of religions someone has to be wrong. Someone has to be lying whether they know it or not. And in all the field of Religious Studies someone has to be right. Whether they KNOW it or not.
But using the excuse regarding opinions, people decide there is no use in chasing down the facts. There’s too much confusion, they will say. That’s an education that will turn out to be fatal.
A man says he doesn’t go to college because he has no need for the things they teach. But he is educated enough to make that choice. He has attended some sort of education that made him believe college is worthless. His rejection of college is not necessarily fatal. But in everything we decide, there is an inevitable outcome.
But let a man use that same premise to disregard the Living God’s Holy Son, and he commits a fatal education to himself.
Teach your children what you want. Remain blind and ignorant all your days. Excuse yourself from of education because there are so many variations. Yet the Living God owns all things and will call every man to account.
He is willing to guide anyone who will humble themselves to receive. And of all the things men strive to learn, there is nothing more important than the shape and texture of eternity.
An education of excuses. Is this what you want for your children? So be it.
Spring will soon come to the Northern Hemisphere. And if the Beautiful Lord tarries we will see all the grandeur that is new life here. In this I speak of new leaves, flowers, babies a plenty, and a comforting season.
And if the Lord moves to close the window of opportunity in this place, His people will see a Spring that never ceases. Everything dressed in eternal splendor, that is the place of his promise. The joy of lambs leaping, and all beautiful things. Hearts that never cease to be glad.
Having said that, I consider what His moving means. How glorious things will be Life (Eternal reality) for so many; the sure promise of God unveiled to his people.
But I consider the meaning of his moving for those who have despised His rule. A winter of fire forever. A place where Spring is no longer spoken. A place where the warm rain is tears falling down. A place where hope is never realized. A place where impossibility is king. A place where ownership means shame. A place of horror and oppressive fear. As surely as they have chosen, alienation from the Living God’s beauty, is theirs forever. If they have suffered in this place, rejecting God’s offer of Help in Christ, how much more will they suffer for having despised the Grace of God? I have no right to speak of God’s promised Eternal Spring, without exposing his promise of destruction.
In my mind I meant to write this article exposing the beauty of God’s glorious Spring, as opposed to the glory of Man’s work. But I got caught up in his promise, for good and for shame.
What is of God is obvious. What is a Man is likewise. For I know that he has said that we are without excuse. So perhaps it is perfectly reasonable that my mind was turned to the glory of God’s wise and righteous judgement with pure justice.
I wish I had the words that would turn every soul for the love of God in his good will to save us all. Then I would have no need to speak of the promise regarding destruction. Then I would be full of joy that could be shared to the prosperity of all who could hear. But the word wish is proper.
God will grant eyes and ears to those who will humble themselves and seek His Holy Face. He has promised to lead all such people to his Holy Christ .There is a righteousness that is given. That is the righteousness that belongs to the Christian.
Let this be enough for this place of writing. By what I have written, I am not full of joy. For a vast number will see destruction. This is not my opinion or speculation, it is the word of the Living God’s Holy Son.
The Living God has promised to give strength to those who begin and continue to call out for mercy. Please do so, that you too may taste the joy that is Spring Eternal.
I was speaking with a man who is beginning to “see” the Gospel. The subject of how grand the visible universe is came up. I said to him, “Who are we if all that is was made, was made specifically for humanity?” He balked at this for a moment, for he remembered the teachings about life forms on other planets (that teaching from the pit of hell). But then he said, “We would be a very special group of people”. Joy filled my heart to hear him admit the truth.
I don’t know if he grasped the fullness of that summation. But what if there are no other creatures in all the universe like us? What if the entire universe was created for us alone?
But let me state what is absolute and true, there are no other creatures on any other planet in the entire universe like us. We are the sole purpose of God’s Glorious and Holy Will in all this vast universe. (Note the lack of apology)
What does that mean? And how do I KNOW this is true?
It means that we are intended to become a holy people, dressed in purity, righteousness, mercy, justice and eternal understanding. That is the intent of God for every man, woman and child. Regardless what background you may have, you are intended to serve the Living God with faithfulness.
How do I know this is true? Because the Gospel of Christ Jesus is TRUE. God has sent his one and only Son, He who has been with the Father of Life from the “Beginning”. Jesus taught us this truth in every thing he did and said. He was murdered for our sake, and by our own hands. But God has raised Him from the dead and seated Him eternally in Glorious Majesty. And this was done in THIS PLACE!
According to what I have written, let everyone consider what this means. May everyone believe the Gospel of Christ. May everyone become the majesty of God’s intention among Man’s place in eternity. May all men stand in awe at the revelation of Truth that God has shed His blood to attain.
Amen.
The gospel is minimized to the best of Man’s ability. Within the days of Man, all the chores of the flesh take precedent. And today so very many even actively campaigning against miraculous work of God.
Blind, blind and blind are all the people. Who has considered The amazing puzzle. Who sees the Christ of God for what He is?
It is not as though the Christ suffered periodically among God’s enemies; as if once every 30 billion years the Holy Word of God must enter a creation that despises him, and be crucified for their unholy sake. The precious miracle of God has blossomed; the Son of God has been sacrificed. But who sees it as it is?
From Adam until now billions of men have come and gone. Yet only a handful have understood.
In his excellent Holy wisdom, the Living God has made this place of testing. It’s a done deal folks, and we’re living in that moment. The Eternal God has performed his eternal task. Even while we rested in Oblivion. And even while I write this, that particular oblivion continues.
The reaping is next. The final word will be spoken and all the souls of men will appear before the Living God. Still men minimize the grand work of God to create this place.
The illusion of the temporary is that powerful. Days come and go, and the mind of man is captured by the things that are not eternal. How easily we push aside the reality of eternity. “I’ll consider eternity when I get there.” Perhaps many even blame our limitations and use them as excuses.
This is not written to make people feel guilty. It is some faulty and meager attempt charge our minds according to the truth of God in Christ.
See the gospel for what it is. God’s Holy Son has been tested and found worthy to be granted exceedingly great Glory. Once and for all he has become Master by the test he endured among us. For eternity he had not been glorified. But now for eternity he has!
Wake and consider these things. We do not live in a place that will continue forever. And at the sum of our days we will appear for the reward that belongs to us for the sake of our doings. Where does the Holy strength of God rest in our minds?
By the wisdom of God we are not “just passing through”. We live our days inside eternity. Today IS forever. Christ Jesus is glorified. Once and for all eternity has done an unspeakably beautiful work.
We: Live, Die, Face Judgment. Jesus or die twice.
