Can you see?

One man percieves God as hideous monster; full of Holy law and demanding.  Such a man does not know the law of God, he only knows his own hideous sin.  He attributes what he knows to the Holy One.  “Surely God is like me.  He will strike me with death when I die”.

Explain to him that God is love, and out of the fear that is in his heart, he will nod in agreement.  But there is no agreement in his soul.  He keeps on in his way because he sees no hope of any change.  If God is cruel then he is a dead man, even while he lives, and he knows it.

To another man, God is purely love.  In this man’s mind, God throws His own Righteousness and Holiness aside to embrace the sinner.  The man perceives that his sin will be erased by some miraculous working of God. 

But he does not understand his own obligation to do “The Way” of Christ.  He perceives “The Way” is too hard to walk, but he does not consider the power of prayer in Christ Jesus.  This one hungers for acceptance.  He does not hunger for righteousness.

This man thinks he will be granted entry into the perfection of eternity simply because he exists.  Speak to this man of a necessity of holiness and righteousness, and he will count you a fool.

Still another man will perceive that God demands certain rituals from all his worshippers.  This man may have started out in Christianity, by receiving forgiveness for his sins, but he has studied the law of God and has determined to do the law.  This one will add to his worship “a little here and a little there”.  In the end, he becomes far less a Christian then before he began.

Each man holds the perception of God that he has grown to love dearly.  Some hold fear, some hold love, some hold law.  As a man believes so he does.

Each of the above ways is flawed, and will suffer loss.  How very sad, when the answer for wholeness in Christ lay so clearly before us.  If a man will humble himself and pray, God will direct him into what is true.

But men love sin.  Men love pride.  Men love praise.  All three of these, the Holy Most High God abhors.

You can have the perception of God you want.  No one will stop you.  They may try to teach you with all they have, but you will refuse.  You men, as mentioned above, will do as you please regardless the will of God.  The loss is yours.

What more is there to say

That is healthy to say?

Freedom

In Christ we are blameless.  Who can lay a charge against us?  Though man may have right to lay a charge, for the sake of the things of man, it is to God they must inevitably go for their justice.

Though God’s people are often worthy of condemnation, it is Christ Himself who justifies. 

Where then is what man calls freedom?  He only desires to do his own will.  And where is the so-called justice of man?  God alone judges with purity, Holy righteousness, and eternal knowledge. 

But let all men come and taste the freedom of Christ Jesus!  Only then does a man begin to understand the fullness of the word.  Abandon your selfish desire and live free.

Freedom is not designed to enjoy the things that rot.  The concept of freedom is eternal at its base.  True freedom is found solely in Christ Jesus; the Son of God and the Son of Man.

This freedom in Christ remains!  From the accusations of men, to even horrific beheading by ungodly religion, those in Christ are utterly free!  At whatever point they think us bound, they are wrong.

Nothing but God will last forever.  So the freedom of those in Christ is not bound.   Not even by the law of man.  Men die, or change their law according to their desire.  But as a man lives in Christ he is truly free!

BELIEVE!

So Be It!

I have said it before.  But it is worthy of repeat.

The world legalizes and enforces a “love” that is no form of love at all.

 

“You will embrace every man regardless his doings or beliefs.  You will coddle every lie; that it might find a place to live among us. 

If you do not, there will be penalty.  You will become a subject of a “One World Perspective”, or you will pay the price. 

This is our formal and authoritatively legalized command.  All who reject this will live outside our protective “love”.  You will be set aside and put on display.”

 

Then, Sir, put me on display.  Make an example of me.  For I announce to you, that your definition of love is false.  It is full of error and destined to fail before the Living God.  On the day He calls all men before Him to give account, your way will be found wanting.  I will not bend to your command to lie.

I do not accuse you before the Holy Father.  I simply stand in His Glorious Shadow of Righteousness and proclaim to you what is true and faultless.  There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof is death.

There is a Love from the Living God that makes a difference between Righteousness and Lie.  This love will take its stance between God and man; between man and man.  There is a difference between those who love Him, and those who do not.

You have made your own laws.  You have defined the validity of words, according to the pleasure of your own wicked hearts!  God’s people listen to His definition of the very same words you use to express the lie of man.  There will be a distinct difference!

Righteousness is violent against what is wicked; by its very nature Righteousness cannot reside with lie.  There is no fault in Righteousness.  But you will fear it, for it threatens your “firm” foundation.

Let all who will, come to God.  Let understanding flow among men like living water.

You will certainly take this as a threat.  You fear everything you do not understand.  Your wicked heart is set to disregard everything Holy.  You define all men according to the darkness of your own hearts.

So be it.  You set yourselves as enemies to the Most High God.  Therefore, you separate the people of God as enemies to your cause.  So it is.  So it must be.

The Peace of Man

Law among men is built to secure social prosperity.  Who can argue with a desire to restrain crime?  But the definition of crime does not need to contain the word “sin”.  It is easily seen that our laws disregard the use of that word on a regular basis.  One would think there is nothing wrong with excluding such words from man’s laws.  But let us consider what that means.

The laws that are supposed to promote social peace are a dangerous ground to cover.  If we exclude God from our laws what is left?  We simply create laws that relate to the affairs of men.  Such laws do not consider the Living God.  Therefore they do not consider pure righteousness or mercy.  They will, in the end, become profuse and often foolish.  After all, the Lord has said that there is a way which seems right to a man, but the end there of is death; the death of freedom and, eventually, the death of body.

In my short days I have watched laws go from reasonable to comedy.  But the effect of today’s laws is no joke at all.  I can be jailed for even writing this post.  It could be construed as “hate speech”.  But hate against who?  They would say I am expressing a hatred for the entire fabric of society.  (You may think I am over reacting.  Time will tell the story far more plainly.  These words won’t take long to be seen as viable.)  There are those who do not believe in a god at all.  They would be seriously offended by my inclusion of God in this assessment of law.  Though we are not at that stage yet, there is a day coming when that will be the case.

Already I get slammed by men of “religion” and atheists because I speak with authority about religious matters.  They take offence because I do not belong to their group.  And they strive to find fault with me and the words I write.  I do not say this to offend them.  But look at what must be spoken.  There is no lie in what I just wrote.  But they will certainly consider me a law-breaker.

Society wants peace.  All men want peace.  So do I.  But I don’t crave peace with men.  I crave peace with God.  His law is perfect.  It doesn’t take into consideration the laws of men.  While men try to mitigate against every possible offence, the Lord’s law stands firm.  And every infraction is an against insult to Him.  While men strive to rid themselves of His law and create their own, They error horribly.

Because of their law all who desire the Lord will eventually suffer alienation, slander, and isolation.  This has been the case from the beginning.  It is a firm enough aspect of loving God that the Apostle Paul addressed it quite pointedly.   12 “In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13 While evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.”(2 Timothy 3)

I have found that to get closer to God causes my lips to make godly noises.  Without a doubt, such noises rile up man’s sense of independence from Him.  So be it.  I cannot turn away from the Living God to appease the machine of intolerant tolerance.  Not only is not wise before the Lord.  The law of man is far too unpredictable to be trusted for anything.  Yet this unpredictability is the very tool they are using to create their peace.  What superior folly man is caught in.  And all because he has decided to nullify the desire of the Living God among them.

There is hope, but not for man.  There is hope among those who desire God’s law over man’s.  There is a place where the Lord moves to close the door of man’s foolish ways.  When will it come upon us?  The Lord warns us clearly.  3 “While people are saying, ‘Peace and safety,’ destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.” (1 Thessalonians 5)

Look around you today.  Consider what you see.  Note how man has made almost everything illegal in one form or another.  The only place of escape today is to do everything they tell you to do.  But who can faithfully serve the capricious nature of men?  We are to embrace the enemies of our country because law has upheld them as legitimate.  We are to cease speaking of God in almost every place.  I wonder when such posts as this will become overtly illegal.

I suffer for writing.  So will you.  I suffer isolation and shame for speaking the truth.  So will you.  I write this, not to complain, but to point out the times we live in.  What time is it?  Look at the clock of society.  Where is the peace of man?  It nearly encompasses the entire world.  We are nearly at the door of the Lord’s action against us.  I encourage you to wake up and react appropriately.  Freedom to love God openly is about to pass away.  And this time there will be no place to run.  Get used to it now.  Practise your freedom while you still have it.  Prepare to stand against the ways of man, or you will be swallowed up in their folly.

I know it takes a boldness to stand for what cannot be seen.  But isn’t that what faith is all about?  By the mercy of God I have learned to consider Him more alive than any man I might meet.  He is real!  It is the way of man which is contrived.

By His Grace.

You Go, Chick-fil-A!

Chick-fil-A

Long before the first micro shaft of darkness splintered from brilliant light, God had set down His laws.  Before the first Angel was created God’s laws were.  Long after the last micro shaft of darkness is ripped from brilliant light, God’s laws will remain.

I write this because I saw a headline about Chick-fil-a this morning.  It seems men and women intend to enter those restaurants and make a mockery of God’s law in full public view.  I have written a volume of warnings, encouragements, and stories to explain the Gospel.  But I realize that none of it will have any effect on such people.  They don’t recognize the Holy Authority of God’s words.  Why, then, should I expect any of mine will bother them in a positive manner?

Endure well, you righteous of God.  Hold your head up as you see the wickedness of man increase.  Lot was in a similar condition in his day.  And all the holy prophets saw utter wickedness abound all around them.  These men also heard God’s proclamation that His law will break through this wickedness.  And that promise was kept in their heart even unto death.

For now wicked men contrive all manner of wicked things to do with their day and night.  And they will act this way untill God sends His Son Jesus to put a stop to it all.  Men think this way of life will go on forever.  They act as if there is no place of division between what is wicked and what is righteous.

 

Sure, You Can! For Now.

“I can, so I will.”

This is said of the majority of mankind.  They perceive an advantage is to be gained by stretching the laws of the land.  They don’t notice that they’ve already determined to stretch the laws of God.  So what does it matter if they push past the limits of man’s laws?

“I must, so I should.”

This is said by a handful of people who are striving with all their might to learn to love God and all His ways.  They subject themselves to the laws of God.  So it matters a great deal when it comes to obedience to the laws of man.

“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”  (Joshua 24:15)
