What happened to the gold the Nazis took from the mouth of God’s people? Was it not melted down and sent into the treasuries of the world?
Will you have a love for gold? Will you desire the riches of this world? Do you realize what such a love means?
Not only might it do good to consider the gold from the mouth of God’s people, how many others have given their life that the rich may be powerful?
There is a true judgment coming! There will be no favoritism based on a man’s gains in this world.
I do not respect the customs of Men. I have no regard to the differing “customs” of certain groups. One eats just these things. Another eats other things. Certain clothing is appropriate for differing circumstances, relegated to the demands of pomp, pleasure, and expectations of society. What do I care? Eat what you will. Dress as you desire. What is that to me?
But the things of the soul. Now these things matter! Differing languages, differing customs, differing surroundings, differing expectations of society, what are these things? When it comes to the soul, none of these things have any bearing at all. For we are all created for the singular purpose of being profitable to the Most High God.
Profit, profit, profit! That’s all the body desires. We wake to “do”, that we might gain profit. To one man profit is pleasure. To another, profit is to gain, that he might add to his mountain of treasure. But profit to God is that His Holy and Righteous Son be glorified.
Some call profit for God in various and differing terms, each according to the religion he has been taught. But God has elevated His Holy Son to the place of First Above All. And wouldn’t it matter that God has done this for His Righteous Son? What does it matter if man considers another religion above Christianity? It is God, alone, who dictates what is Righteous.
But let it be said, Jesus is the King of kings. He is the Lord of lords. He is the Mighty One over all! It is to Jesus that every knee will bow and give Glory to God the Holy Father.
You say, “This is your opinion. You were raised up under the constraints of Christian teaching. But we were raised under the constraints of Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism, Baha’i, Confucianism, Jainism, Shinto, atheism, humanism, [or a million other worthless tripe of human reasoning]. To you, Christianity is singular. Realize that our faith is singular to us”.
But God has chosen His Christ. God has secured salvation by His own Holy Hand. And this is the message that has no dependence on the customs of man. For it comes from Heaven. It is delivered to God’s chosen ones to speak. And it is secured in their souls by the Holy Spirit’s presence.
Do you want profit of Man? Or do you want Profit of God? Seek the Holy Father’s advice regarding this. Strip your mind of the customs you were taught. Strip your expectations from your soul. Seek His Holy Face in Truth. As we humble ourselves before the Living God, so the Living God responds. Likewise, as we stand proud in our own understandings, the Living God is shrewd in his response.
Profit comes from humility. True profit. The profit of eternity that is dressed in the Glorious Living God’s Holy Son, Jesus the Christ.
Now you take offence at these things. For I have spoken that Jesus is the singular means to God the Father. But Christians should take no such stance as you. We do not take offence at the accusations against Christianity. We do not defend the Christ. It is the Christ who defends us. We have no means to sustain our teachings. It is God who sustains the teachings of Christ. We are witnesses, not defenders. We testify that the Living God has secured our salvation. We do not defend the Faith He has given us.
Perceive the difference. Listen to what I am saying. There is no salvation for anyone outside the Holy Son of the Living God.
Doing battle with the man I was;
An exceedingly costly affair.
The cost is high and sure because
I must climb His golden stair.
The steps are made of Molten Gold,
Refining in his Fire.
And every step I take, as bold,
Consumes me all the higher.
The price is high, as men perceive.
But is it worth the cost?
I’ll be there on my bended knee,
Enjoying what was lost.
While others who enjoy their gold
With a coolness that will not burn.
Will kneel in fear, and void of bold;
For these steps I take they’ll yearn.
Oh cross of Christ, that precious place;
That step there at the top!
Reflects to me His Glorious face,
As this journey finally stops.
Do you think it odd a man should lose
Everything you hold so dear?
I think it’s odd that you should choose
To hold on to your fear.
As now the Great Proclaiming’s done,
You settle down in your flesh.
Forsaking all that can be won,
You place your loss as best!
Yes the stairs will torch your hope,
Of a life of peace and ease.
But you climb to Him upon a rope;
Consumed by a Fiery Breeze!
Won’t you please come and place your foot
Upon the liquid step?
Belief in Christ will do you good.
He’ll accomplish all the rest.
But if you do this step ascend,
Do not back down again!
The world perceives us not as friends,
Who will His Stairs ascend.

An Elephant woke one morning to see a convoy of trucks passing by. His tiny brain got an idea. With smiling eyes, he lumbered over to one of the trucks. His deft trunk reached into the truck and plucked the driver out of his seat. Then, to the double amazement of the driver, the elephant began to try to get into the driver’s seat.
This is to all men, women and children. You can imagine yourself as anything you want. But the nature of our condition determines who we are. You can call yourself a Pilot. But unless you actually can and do fly a plane, you’re just fooling yourself. You can imagine you’re a Chicken, if you wish. But unless you’re really that small, feathered, beaked, and stupid, you’re still a human.
You can call yourself a Christian. But unless the Lord causes you to be one, you’re just making noise with your lips.
“Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain.” (Psalms 127:1)
“11For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12Now if any man builds on the foundation with
gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13each man’s work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man’s work. 14If any man’s work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward. 15If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.” (1 Corinthians)
“Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spiritgives birth to spirit.” (John 3: 6)
Go ahead. Go to church. And, as is your custom, continue in sin when you leave that place. You think the sign you hang over your head causes you to be something you’re not? Remember the Elephant and the Chicken, and the Pilot. God is deadly serious about His Holy demands for mankind. Only the wise will continually reach up to Him for that transformation He demands. No man will find himself justified by his own desire. Justification and eternal life are from the hand of the Lord. Open your hard heart. Drop your pride of life. Listen to what the Lord has said. The verdict on all men has already been rendered. There is no life other than that which the Spirit of God builds in man. And there will not be one shred of man’s accomplishments which will enter Heaven. Unless the Lord has accomplished it in you and through you, you have accomplished nothing. Pride of man is an ememy of God. The name you give yourself is less than nothing in the eyes of God.
By His Grace.
