Faithless Prayer


2 “Thus says the LORD who made the earth, the LORD who formed it to establish it, the LORD is His name, 3 ‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’ ”  (Jeremiah 33:2)

They have said, “Prayer is such a burden”.  They respond to me, “When have we said such a thing?”  The compassionate answer comes:  “Every time you did not do it.”

But this can be given to you: you did not do it because you did not understand.  

You think that prayer is like writing a letter that may or may not be read.   You have no faith so you do not bothered to write.  For lack of faith there is lack of understanding.

God speaks.  But who hears him?  He speaks in what is.  He speaks in what did not come.  He speaks of his Holy promises; those things which will be, for he cannot lie.

Prayer is only a letter if it is given by a faithless soul.  And truly such letters are sent among the wind, to blow to this place or that.  But the faithful will believe and wait.  They will have patience for they know that God is true.

The faithful will live abundant lives.   They will be blessed in all they do.  For what they do is to trust and wait.  What they do, is ask for ears.  They ask for eyes that see.  Ask for understanding, and that their lives may testify.  See how abundance arrives.

The Cost


Toledo Municipal Court Judge C. Allen McConnell issued a statement Wednesday on his refusal to perform marry a same-sex couple earlier this week.
McConnel says he declined to perform the marriage based on his “personal and christian beliefs.”

Christians have rights too.  Isn’t it curious how it always ends up costing the Christian everything, while the world gets just what they want.

No matter.  We have every confidence that God will reward accordingly.  In the meantime, I’m proud of my brother.

Justice Pure

I think of the unbeliever’s argument that God is cruel in His assessment of mankind.  I know this to be a fact:  God is not cruel.  God is just.  For if God’s justice is cruel to me, it is because I am perverse.

The speed limit might be 65 mph.  If I remain at that speed or less, I have no fear of being pulled over for speeding.   If I travel at 70 mph then I have a right to be fearful of being pulled over.  The law is laid before us as we drive.  If we break that law we have no room for argument.  The same is true of God’s laws.  If you break them, you have a right to be fearful.  It is not God who is unjust in His laws.  It is we who are at fault for not loving His ways.  He created us.  He set the laws for all (Angels as well as man).  Those who break the laws of God stand alone and naked, guilty as charged.
