“Let Me In, I’m a Cool Person”.

You have spent your years gathering what you cannot keep.  You have built a name for yourself.  But have you built up a place in your life for God’s name?  It is your lot to live just a few tiny years more (if God allows).  What name will you present to the Glorious God on the Day of Judgment? 

“I was captain of the football team when I was a teen.  I am worthy to enter Your eternity”.

“I was a beautiful woman.  Every where I went men looked my way.  Since I’m beautiful, let me enter”.

“I was successful at making money.  I didn’t let anyone over take me in the market.  And I acquired millions.  Let me work for you, God, and I’ll make you money too”.

“I was a drunk.  But I have a great sense of humor. Let me enter and I’ll bring you tons of laughter”.

“I was a lonely man.  I threw away a perfectly good marriage.  And I regret what I did.  No one will care about me anymore.  Let me come in and I will not bother anyone”.

“I was a very religious woman.  I set the record straight for many a wayward person.  Every time I saw someone doing bad I chided them for it.  Let me in and I’ll keep your people straight for you”.

And on it goes.  Billions of people trying to excuse themselves from serving the Holy God of Eternity.  Do you think these people are a bit over the top?  We all know these people exist.  And they’re sure they can wiggle their way into His Good Graces because they were special.

No one will be allowed into eternity, but he who does the will of the Father in Heaven.  Don’t be fooled!  This is the Place of Testing.  God is testing the hearts of every man, woman, and child RIGHT NOW.  What is the will of the Father?  Believe on the Son of God.  Believe to the point of obedience.  It has been refered to as “The Faith”.

Feeling Like God Doesn’t Care About You?

I can’t remember who the preacher was.  He was speaking of Jesus’ request that the Father take this cup from him.  He said what I believe was right:

It was not the pain of having his beard pulled out  that caused such agony.
It was not the beatings across his sinless face.
it was not the spit dribbling down his face.
It was not the humiliation of being mocked for being the Son of God.
It was not the bone and glass shards which ripped the skin off his back.
It was not the trek to Golgotha.
It was not the nails tearing through his hands and feet.
It was that moment we heard him cry, “My God!  My God!  Why have You forsaken me!”

He knows.  I say it again, He knows about the feeling of being removed from His Loving Father.  And all He did to deserve that was to Love His Father’s will unto death.

A Word of Correction to Popular Thinking.

You say to yourself, “I don’t need to get into all that God stuff”.  You will view the following words as the words of a man.  And if you respect them or not is none of my concern.  But these are words of absolute truth:

The wicked will pay for ALL their sins, both great and small.  Yet it is the wicked who call on the name of the Lord Jesus now.  If you think you will be able to sway God’s judgment because you have become a “good person”, you will be undone on that Day.  The verdict of God’s court has already proclaimed all men as unfit, evil, liars, and wicked to the very heart.  Judgment day is a day of assigning.  It is not a day of judging and there will be no arbitration.

God Unleashed

By sin I’ve kept strong hold

Of the message yet untold.

He fills my breath with wonderous things.

I’ve stifled what is Good.

And closed the Holy Hood.

And yet His message burns within.

I’ll take Your Gift of Life!

And cease my endless strife.

My hands go limp around the strap,

Behold! 

My God is Now Unleashed!

By His Grace.

AWAKE!

Awake!  Awake!  Awake!  You are about to encounter the maker of your finger prints!  When it comes, the time will show the Majesty of the God you now place second (or whatever place you give Him).  Hold up your heads, you people of the Most High God.  Our time draws close.  We are near the door! 

World, you sleep in contentment.  Woe to you!  You gain every desire and moan when you are denied.  Count your foolishness in the light of the Most High God.  WAKE!  How rude will be the awakening as the Most High God enters time. 

By His Grace.

Theology.

Theology is the “God knowledge”.  Men use that term to study God as one would study a germ.  They dissect the Bible as though it were a dead frog.  But that is not what I mean by the use of that word.

Theology is a seeking after the Holiness of God.  It is not a scientific Christianity.   Seeking God is useful to all.  Scientific debate is useful for no one.  The former changes lives.  The latter tends to “puff up”.  (This post would surely ruffle the puffy feathers of those who hold their brains so dear.)
