What?


What did God ever do that anyone should hate Him?  What?  Did he give life?  Is that worth hatred?  Did He give items that induce joy?  Is that worthy of hatred?  What?

 

It is the flesh that hates the Lord.  Yet there’s more.  The hatred of the flesh is but a shadow of the hatred satan has for the Lord.  Yet, why hate the Lord who gave life to those who hate Him?  Even now, He gives them what they need.  Yet, “They have hated Me for no reason”.

Greed hates love.   God created satan.  Satan turned to see the glory of God’s righteous qualities.  “I will make those qualities mine and the others will love me.”  But time moved on.

Love for the righteous qualities of God became an obsession for grandeur.  Satan desired the position of God.  “Then they will love me”, he thought to himself.

Death was born when hatred entered in.  Where is that point?  Only those who begin to love the Lord can point to that place.  Because, where we die is the very place where we begin to live.

As long as you refuse to embrace the Lord Jesus, you continue in the hatred for the Father.  God the Father has loved The Son with a love which knows no breaking or separation.  This is not so for the way God the Father will treat His enemies.  The end of such hatred is uniquely singular, death.  I beg you, give this some serious thought.

Police Officer Jailed for Jailing Law Breaker


jail

It has come to my attention that I have a distinct and vibrant hatred for the pride of man.  Now, I would take offence at that but I can’t.  I remember we are told to hate what is evil and cling to what is good. 

Don’t take my hatred for the pride of man to mean that I hate man.  In this particularly vibrant hatred, I actually take some solace.  Some might assume that I mean to commit a hate crime.  But we don’t charge police officers with a crime for jailing one who has broken the law of society.  Or maybe times have changed and I haven’t noticed.  This could be.  There has been a whole lot of liberal thinking running amuck lately.

Just a note:  In selecting the tags for this post, I simply clicked “Apply all.”  Personally I see no sense to be politically correct here.  And WordPress seems to know what I mean by what I type. 

Just one more note:  The picture is the best shot I could get of the Policeman………. LOL

My Dad’s in Prison.

I started out to search for the Lord God who made me.  Innocently I inquired from those who said they had the answers.  I found answers and embraced them as best I could.  And as a child I entered into a relationship with the Almighty God through Jesus.

Over the years it has become apparent that I stand in a very hated place.  I defend the Glory of the One who made me, gave His life for me, and is causing me to learn to love Him.  This has become very curious to me, this hated place.

If my dad had been an honorable man and was accused of a horrible crime.  And after the accusation he was remanded to jail for the rest of his life.  And all of society believed the lie that he was guilty.  And if I knew, beyond any doubt that he was innocent of the charges against him.  Do you think it would be right for me to sit quietly while my dad was in prison? 

Though I were the only one to stand up for him, I would stand.  Those who believed he was guilty would learn to hate me.  But should I stop trying to right the wrong?  It would be wrong for me to remain silent.  And so it is with God.

He has done nothing wrong.  But men accuse Him of horrible crimes.  He is jailed in society and people rail against Him.  He has been accused of the ultimate hate crimes.  But He is not guilty of any crime.  He will never be guilty.  And I will not stop defending His honor as long as He allows me breath.

By His Grace.
