Justice Pure


Speed Limit 65 sign

I think of the unbeliever’s argument that God is cruel in His assessment of mankind.  I know this to be a fact:  God is not cruel.  God is just.  For if God’s justice is cruel to me, it is because I am perverse.

The speed limit might be 65 mph.  If I remain at that speed or less, I have no fear of being pulled over for speeding.   If I travel at 70 mph then I have a right to be fearful of being pulled over.  The law is laid before us as we drive.  If we break that law we have no room for argument.  The same is true of God’s laws.  If you break them, you have a right to be fearful.  It is not God who is unjust in His laws.  It is we who are at fault for not loving His ways.  He created us.  He set the laws for all (Angels as well as man).  Those who break the laws of God stand alone and naked, guilty as charged.

No Legs to Stand


You thought you were expected to right all wrongs.

You considered the power of God a “noneffect”.

It was written about you,

“They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly.”

Then you will stand and present yourself for inspection.

You will give account of yourself and all the things you thought you did with righteousness.

But what will be said?

Perhaps you will say that you gathered all information and stood your ground against wrongs.

Perhaps you will point to others and say that they did not allow you to perform godly actions.

Perhaps you will render all your deeds and realize that God was not part of any of them.

When you are asked to give account of yourself, what pocket will you reach into to draw proof?

What chance will you have to say, “May I have a moment to reflect?”

Your tongue will betray your fear and words will come regardless your desire to stem their tide.

Before Him you are standing, on that day.

He who has provided the power to accomplish God’s will.

But you decided here to do all things according to your own imagination.

You read the Bible and determined that you could obey the Holy Law of God.

How’s that working out for you?

You see social injustice and take it upon yourself to correct the flood of lawless men.

You made a “good” life for yourself and your family.

And it is your hands which have constructed the house you now live in.

Have you never heard the Gospel?

Will you recount, on that day, that everything you have to present to the Holy Father has been done by Jesus His Son?

Perhaps you have not heard this:

 Unless the LORD builds the house,
   the builders labor in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city,
   the guards stand watch in vain.
In vain you rise early
   and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
   for he grants sleep to those he loves.

May God grant you understanding before you stand before Him.

Police Officer Jailed for Jailing Law Breaker

It has come to my attention that I have a distinct and vibrant hatred for the pride of man.  Now, I would take offence at that but I can’t.  I remember we are told to hate what is evil and cling to what is good. 

Don’t take my hatred for the pride of man to mean that I hate man.  In this particularly vibrant hatred, I actually take some solace.  Some might assume that I mean to commit a hate crime.  But we don’t charge police officers with a crime for jailing one who has broken the law of society.  Or maybe times have changed and I haven’t noticed.  This could be.  There has been a whole lot of liberal thinking running amuck lately.

Just a note:  In selecting the tags for this post, I simply clicked “Apply all.”  Personally I see no sense to be politically correct here.  And WordPress seems to know what I mean by what I type. 

Just one more note:  The picture is the best shot I could get of the Policeman………. LOL

By His Grace.

Murderers of Ourselves. Murderers of God’s Will.

The man stood before the judge.  His lawyer stood by his side.  They were about to hear the judgment against the man.  Here is what was said:

“We have a law in this society of humanity.  Though the law comes in different languages and the judges wear a myriad of clothing, the law is recognized throughout the entire world is primary in its importance.  We all say that no one should commit willing and premeditated murder.  And if you do so and are brought to this point, a judgment will be placed on you at the discretion of the presiding  judge.

You, sir, have been found guilty by a body of your peers, of premeditated murder.  And now you will receive the sentence I will pronounce.  But before I utter the sentence let me tell you what you have done.  The thing you have done is the very thing the entire world says you should not do.  Therefore we all sit here in this seat I have been given to judge you with.  Why do we all say this thing you’ve done is worthy of a harsh punishment?  Because we all value our own lives.  You have not valued the life of those you’ve murdered.  And you did not even value your own life.  For you knew the punishment for your crime would be that your own life is taken from you.

None of us wanted to pass this punishment to you.  Therefore your crime holds one more victim; you.  I am not only going to sentence you to death for the murder of those people.  I am also going to add your own life to the sentence.  Know that the punishment you receive will be equitable for all.  For even you will be punished for your own death.”

This is the judgment of God.  We are not only guilty for our own sins.  We are also guilty of the murder of that which God has created.  He did not desire that you should die eternally.  He sent every possible warning to you to cease your evil and turn to Him that you might live.  But you have robbed God of what He has created for His own purposes.  If you remain outside Jesus you will certainly die the second death.  And your judgment will be on your own head.

By His Grace.
