How amazingly striking is the difference in the writings of the early Church Elders and the writings of men today who consider themselves elders.  What began our faith is not the same power among men today.  We hear the constant ringing of a limp bell which touts the Love of God in Jesus.  But the dedication unto death is the blazing fire which should have strengthened that bell.

What is called the Church today hands out fuzzy blankets to a people stranded in Arctic conditions, wishes them well, then abandons them to the wiles of wickedness all around them.  I do not say this without foundation.  Purity toward the holy life has dissipated in the rising heat of hell itself among the people today.

I urge you to consider what I have posted here.  The world is not void of their writings.  Yet how many take the time to look into these things?  We have all heard the constant voice which appeals to us to remember the height from which we have fallen.

I am no more than anyone who reads these words.  Indeed, I am far less than even the saints of this day.  But why should we settle for a diluted message?  The call of God is urgent, pure, and sure.  It is the same today as it was in the beginning.  It is only the adaptation of this age which waters down the Gospel to a sweet savor of “love”.  As the love between a husband and wife has been reduced to sexual behavior between adulterers, so that LOVE of God has become dispersed to simply mean kindness or restraint from murder.

What of warriors for Christ Jesus?  What of men and women born of the Holy Spirit into a holy life?  How can what is Holy give birth to anything less than Holy?  But the world and the corrupt message of certain men regarding the Gospel have allowed any sin to attach itself to the life of their people.  How will such things become acceptable to the Holy Lord of Life?  Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever!  It is man who has determined, in his “eternal” wisdom, that he can change that pure message from water to tar.

Grasp and return to that message which God has delivered to this day.  He has given His very blood to keep that Word through the ages.  And we would do well to read and learn of the kind of men and women who were used by God to found our faith.  Listening to the message today and reading the message of the starting, one would think we are serving an entirely different God.

The Leverage of Poverty

There has been active debate regarding the “poor” in America.  The liberals have proposed and instituted social programs which do not help the poor in their plight beyond causing them to survive for the sake of gain by those who have created these programs.  This is not the will of God that we might make widows and orphans of those who are quite well attached to family and bodily able to fend for themselves.

We have become a nation of wicked greed, for those who would translate our language into obscure meanings (as does their father from the beginning), have brought a black corruption to the very fabric of daily life in America.  We now rise from our beds daily to witness the poisonous fruit of their corruption among us.  And though we chide and teach them with all our might they only chase after this putrid religion of man all the more.

Yet, what should we expect from those who do not have the counsel of God among their members?  They are black with sin; darkened in their minds and souls by the greed that has become their clothing.  All the while they are making more dependent on their powers, they chide and rail at God’s people for not taking care of the poor.  How is this unlike Pharoah commanding the Israelites to make the same quota of bricks without their supply of straw?

May we look forward to the redemption that belongs to the Church of Jesus Christ.  There is a place where such things will never live again.  We warn with all our might, for it is our holy duty to speak against the folly of man.  But we also understand that what is unholy will prosper more and more before the coming of our Lord.

There was a letter written from Ignatius of Antioch to Polycarp, in which he addressed the proper way to approach poverty and slavery.  We are to be wise in all our dealings in this matter.  For pride is not singular to the rich.  Pride is the companion of even the starving beggar if wisdom of God does not reside in his bones.

“Despise not slaves, whether men or women. Yet
let not these again be puffed up, but let them serve
the more faithfully to the glory of God, that they may
obtain a better freedom from God. Let them not desire
to be set free at the public cost, lest they be found
slaves of lust.”

How then have the liberals helped the poor by encasing them in luxury?  How have they helped the poor by removing the calluses from their hands?   They have made them an item of profit, both for the sake of greed and of power.  Take note and be wise regarding the call of the liberals for duty regarding the poor.  The Lord’s wisdom does not make such slaves of men.  There is a freedom these power mongers know nothing about.

Freedom or Oppression

I got my mail in ballot today.  It’s the first time in my life I will vote.  Yeah.  The situation is that startling and vital.  But what is the situation?

Do we vote to sustain freedom for all people in America?  Or do we vote to limit freedom for all Americans?  I have come to an understanding about this that has rattled my cage slightly.

If Romney wins America is likely to struggle toward the freedom of expression America has always known.  If Obama wins we will continue to lose freedoms, eventually becoming a nation more in line with communism.  Which is better?

You might say that freedom is better, as did I until last night.  Then the Lord showed me the true issue at stake in this election.  The true issue at stake is obedience to eternal life through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Now I consider how men have responded to the freedom of expression this nation is used to enjoying.  And I consider the nature of men and women who live in communist nations.  I saw how the family in America has disintegrated under freedom of expression.  And I saw how the family is forced to huddle together under the trials of communism.

For the sake of salvation I am forced to tone down my abhorrent thoughts about President Obama’s policies.  But for the sake of the suffering that surely come under his second term, I am forced to lament for the tears that will be shed.

I will vote for every republican I can find on the ballot.  But I know that it will be God who will determine, in His Great wisdom, who will lead this nation into 2013.

By Your Grace, Marvelous Lord, we submit to Your decision with joy.  For we know that all things work toward the good of all who are learning to love You.  By the name of Your Holy Son I post this letter.  May You receive Glory forever by all Your people.  Amen.

The Great Cloud of Witnesses

Glory

I do not worship you.  For I stand where you stood.  You work is done.  And I will soon join you to witness the work of our God.  You are the great cloud of witness which surround us in true light.  For now you sleep a “waiting”, even as now we endure a light which is the greyness of dawning.

We will meet together in a place designed by the One who called us all.  And there we will announce with one voice all the Glories that belong to our Lord Jesus.  Without eyes I see you.  Without knowing your face, I know you.  For the same Spirit of God will bring us to the same place of worship, praise, and honor to the One who causes our dry bones to live eternally.

Glory to the One who has spoken all promises of hope!  Even Glory to Jesus, The Worthy One of the Living God.  Amen

My What You Are Missing!

You who do not believe there is a God, my what you are missing!  You who worship greed, my what you are missing!  You who follow empty religions made by the imagination of man, my what you are missing!  You who worship the Lord Jesus in vain, my what you are missing!

All of you are so busy falling short of what could be within you.  With first grade math you calculate the sum of God.  From 0 to 4 you add up value.  And you could be counting countless blessings.

This Jesus we serve is the exact and blazing representation of the Living God.  Endless in mercy, love, wisdom, knowledge, and judgment, He remains forever.  And this comes to live in the soul of every man who will empty himself of his own will, presenting himself and all he has to be used by this Jesus.  Accepting poverty of self, we receive from Him what is endless and resistant to the calculations of man.

Join us!  Come away from what you hold dear and embrace what the Living God offers in His Holy Son.  Come and live!CAPTION

Ownership

We say a man owns a business.  We say we own a house.  Slave masters have said they own people.  Or, we have said, “I own that!”  Really.

 

The way I see it no one owns anything but the Father in Heaven.  Angels owe Him their very existence.  So do demons.  Jesus owes His Glory to the Father.  A man owes his very breath to the Father.

In the picture here, that statue was burned to the ground by a strike of lightning.  I pass that place from time to time.  Who owned it?  Who owns it now?  And who owns the burnt piece of ground where it used to stand in that man made pool?  They say they intend to rebuild it.  Right…………

But if you want to slice and dice the matter:

 

Jesus owns the end result of every soul.
