Sometimes when the mind sees the truth, it comes with such blazing clarity that words can’t possibly define it. And the truth comes so quickly, as if In a vision. (A mental snapshot of the unseen).   

I just had one of those encounters with truth. But I don’t know if I can summon the words to portray it correctly. Nevertheless, I’m compelled to try.  


I was thinking of how impossible it is for a man to influence another’s relationship with God. In my own mind I saw a wall between myself and any other man.  


Then the thought expanded, quickly and greatly.  


It’s not a wall between men. It’s a cylinder around every man that reaches to the very throne of God.  


Sometimes it’s darkened to blackness at the top, and no light can come from God. Other times it varies in degrees of brightness, depending on the man’s willingness to love the one who made him.  


We cannot influence another man’s relationship with God. The man must do it himself.  


How useless then, to think that all these writings have any positive affect at all. It is still the will of every man and woman to either believe or not.  


Still, how can I keep such things to myself?

What Floats Your Boat?

People dwell on the things they love.  They are more than willing, they are anxious, to talk about the things that excite them.  What gets you excited?

If an angel was sent by Jesus to test you, to see if you were prepared to give him the gospel, would he find you ready?

How do you know that hasn’t already happened?

People already do a lot of things for others these days.  I don’t find very many willing to do things for Jesus these days.

We don’t seem to be ashamed of good works.  But there seems to be a shadow over the name of Jesus.

Maybe I’m just crazy.
Maybe I’m just Looney.
Maybe I’m just imagining this;
Punching at Straw Men and setting them on fire.

From Speculation to Understanding

Speculation about aliens from other planets abounds.  Stories, rumors, even social traditions, talk about a foreign life form visiting this tiny little place in space.  Yet not a single interstellar alien has appeared before the public.

All the while, everything in creation is part of a giant spider web.  Everything we can perceive is hooked intricately to the center; the story of God’s Holy and Righteous Son, Jesus.

People pick a spot on the giant spider web of things that are in this created place.  From that vantage point they say there is no God.  Or at best they admit there is a God but that he can’t be understood.  Why not stand in the center where Jesus is and look out into all the things that have been made?

From there you will understand the meaning of life.

What If, What Then?

Is it possible?  What is the probability?  Does the Church lack fruit and devotion simply due to human ability to process information?

If mentors are placed.  If vision is clearly promoted.  Do the people lack, simply because they are not able to “think it through”?  Is it a situation of inability?  Or is it a lack of willingness, that causes unfruitfulness in the Body of Christ?  And, it can’t be ignored, what is the impact of “rotten apples” among them?

If this is so.  If there is no remedy, for the sake of the human mind, then how much more need we rely on the Grace of God?

If the people are not quite able to grasp the fullness of the Gospel they are offered, then how powerful is the Majesty of Christ to save?  How great is the Grace of God!

There is the least among us, yes.  There is the greatest among us, yes.  And a myriad in between.

But to what extent are we valuable by continually promoting the epitome of Christianity?  Are souls ruined by a consistent deluge of “Get it Right”?  Are our brothers and sisters encouraged to try harder?  Or are they damaged by expectations they’ll never be able to attain?

Well, now.  What a dilemma to rake over the coals.  And I don’t want to waste too many words doing it.

After thinking it through, I fall on the idea that I am not qualified to determine the answer.  But it’s crucial to remember two things.

1. The Church belongs to Christ Jesus.

2. He has seen fit, by Holy Wisdom, to leave the leadership of His people in the hands of men.

What say you?
