As I read a string of comments by those who hate both faith and religion, I’m struck by something.   They hate what they don’t own so much that their attacks drown out any possible value in Christianity.  They attack anything they can’t hold in their hand.  Thus, they throw away everything good.  They not only lose out on eternal promises, they even lose out on the temporal benefits.

While many pick and choose what they will from Jesus, those people throw it all away.  How horrible it will be for those who hate the Lord.  When they finally see Him face to face, they will realize the damage they’ve done.  They will have ruined their hope for any peace for eternity.  And they will realize that they were instrumental in destroying the hope of others.

Death

If we die tonite, few will cry.

 

We die like dogs; just food for flies.

 

In dirt is where our bodies lie.

 

The bugs and worms, we satisfy.

 

But LIFE demands we testify.

 

Though hopeless masses vent their cry.

 

There’s One who hears and bids, “Come nigh”.

 

“I’m strength enough to change your life.

His name is Jesus.

By His Grace.

Liar: God or Man?

The old story of rags to riches is rarely lived out.  So it is with the Christian life.  What holds us back is doubt.  We sit alone and useless because we doubt that God’s promise of eternal life is a sure thing.  Bottom line, this means God lied about being willing and able to bring us to completion in Christ Jesus.  This is why doubt is such a horrible sin.  We are, in effect and reality, calling God a liar.

So it is written, so it is true, and will remain.  Let God be true and every man a liar.

It’s a New Day For You!

When Jesus makes you into a new man or woman, it is a true transformation.  No religion can do what He does with just the touch of  His hand.  “Behold.”, He says softly, “All things are become new”.  Slowly, we realize something has changed.  And step by step He leads us into true righteousness and holiness.  Though we are able to stifle His work, the promise remains for all who receive His gift of eternal life.

What men see in you will not be what you see.  To them, you’re just a fool who thinks he’s better than everyone else.  You’ll begin to speak of heaven far more than your friends.  You’ll begin to revere the name of Jesus, which they take as a curse word.  Those who knew the old you will hide from you.  They will cast you away as if you were yesterday’s garbage.  But you know better.  See, the Kingdom of Heaven has come upon you.

Now, if this is your case, why do you doubt?   Don’t let the blind tell you that you can’t see.  You know better than that.  They will accuse, for that is what your old father (and their present daddy) has done from eternity.  Don’t be dismayed.  You are a new creation. 

By His Grace.
