Where did you go, my tiresome burdensome friend? Have you gone to pester some other hapless heart?
Did you not notice me packing in the night? I could not find you as I put my things where they belong.
I do not long for your accompaniment. Nor do I desire your council. But I had more room on my shelves than expected. By accounting, I found you missing.
What a pleasant surprise
Is this foretold sunrise.
The place where you have died,
My old friend, “Fear of Demise”.

They lied to me by saying, “We can be useful in our selves”. They displayed to me what they consider useful. But as I did those things, they told me I am useless. The only thing they succeeded in doing was proving to me that men are fully liars.
What they proclaimed as the sum of life, I embraced with zeal. Where they were liars, I was more. They perceived me as one who would take the throne among them. For this reason they cast me away.
Within their way of lying, they called me a liar. The casting out became complete.
What reason was there to live; what place might I attain? Shall I be a useless man among them? How can that be, I am alive.
They have blessed me with their lying ways. By their casting out, I have received all there is to receive. How can I hold anything against them? By their nature, they have forced me to receive the King of Kings.
Holy Father, Righteous God, hold nothing against any man on my behalf. But free them all from accusation concerning me. No one has sinned against me. I am no standard of truth.
Rather bless them in their ungodly way. Let the prosperity of Lies be theirs. That they to make perceive, you alone are good.
Thank You, Holy Father, for your excellent wisdom, which you display freely among all men. Let those who desire you ask. Let those who love the lie remain. May your will be done forever in Christ Jesus your Holy and Righteous Son. Amen.

I was privileged to go on a cruise just recently. One morning as I sat, pondering the things of God, the nature of truth became the prominent subject in my mind.
As the Sun began to rise this picture was taken. And a horrifying reality struck my soul like lightning. I will try to share it with you here, but the fullness of the revelation belongs to Christ Jesus.
Truth remains above all the thoughts and doings of man. Regardless his reaction, truth remains firm forever.
Should he decide to ignore truth, man will be cut to shreds. Should he embrace truth, he will find himself sliced to complete reduction. Every lie will be stripped away. Nothing within man can stand within God’s Truth. If it is not from God, it will not endure the Judgement of Truth.
Some try to hide from truth. But there is no hiding. By rebellion, willing ignorance or even fear, men attempt to hide. Men constantly make excuses for their unwillingness to embrace truth.
But the excuses of men are like a babbling language before the ears of truth. They are a noise which is easily ignored. Men think they make sense in their voicing of excuses. They walk away confident that they have attained another day of freedom to do as they please. But they are like those men who carried a wooden cross to toward the advancing lava only to be burned alive. The agent of their death had no ears to hear there plea. So it is with the truth of God.
Look about you. Truth does not refuse the Holy Will of God. The faithfulness of all heaven and creation obeys the will of the Living God in truth. The Sun rises faithfully every morning, and so the moon and stars. The ocean remains where it is without complaint or excuse. There are billions of items in creation that testify of faithfulness in truth.
Even now, truth testifies against us, for we are witness to all the faithfulness of creation, Only the one who desires to be lovely before God embraces the injury and death that truth demands; injury to the desires of pleasure, and death to all his excuses.
If we embrace truth, we will suffer loss, no matter what we can reach to become. God’s Truth is Holy! Run, hide, rebell or hate truth, it already knows where we are. And truth has laid an uncompassionate judgement at our doorstep. “Obey the living God or die. Since you have not obeyed you will surely be decimated.”
Only the willing, the strong of heart, the purposeful, and the faithfilled, will arrive with little destruction left to endure. But make no mistake, Truth will certainly strip wickedness from eternity.
The purging of heaven and the salvation of humble souls belongs exclusively to the Lord Jesus the Christ of God. The truth of the Living God’s words have given Jesus eternal authority. If you want to be saved it is to Christ Jesus you need to appeal. (Yes, the very one who is hated so vehemently among men.)
The question is poised to every man. Will you suffer loss here, or will you let the Son rise on you and burn you away like a drop of water on a red hot slab of steel?
Words are the only strength I have to help you in this horrible plight. (Horrible because truth demands a verdict, and you have no excuse to protect yourself. And the plight, because you have no desire to lay down your own lie filled excuses.) Even so, God has commanded that free will reign among men. He has left the choice in our hands.
Truth is not hidden. It is blatantly obvious to everyone. Will you find the desire to deny excuses their strength? Are you willing to stop hiding? Are you sick of being an ambassador of destruction. All you need to do is humble yourself before the Living God and ask for His mercy in Christ Jesus His Holy and Righteous Son. God will hear that plea.
Obedience to the Living God brings life. It is not too hard to humble ourselves and ask. The horrible shame among men is that so few will ever do it. Most people go to the grave dressed in lies. Will that be you?

How very typically pompous of men to create division in religion, or even civil matters. Yet by the very nature of things in creation, hierarchy necessary. For there are things among us that are holy. And to our shame, there are things among us that are debased and thoroughly wicked.
Regulation of rebellion is required for the simple sake of life. For the sake of even a semblance of order, hierarchy among men is required.
You leaders of people; hundreds, thousands, or millions, have you considered what has given you your authority? Have you considered what seals life among us? Or do you believe that you have attained your position by your own strength of strategy?
The will of man can produce nothing but continuous death. How then can hope prosper among us if the leader’s only visions produce destruction?
The ways of Man are nothing but death. Do you know this? Have you even considered this?
You are set in place by necessity. Have you taken the time to consider the meaning of the word “righteous”? Have you considered that there is a storehouse from which all things righteous come? Have you appealed, continuously, to the Holy One of God for help in the decisions you make every moment? If not, how can you hope to produce anything good from the very place you have been given to inhabit?
Holy Father I ask you to broadcast this message. Even as you have done with all things in creation: glorify your Holy Son, that Your will may be accomplished among men. I place this message in your Holy hands. My hands have strung the letters together. But the message belongs to your Holy Son, Your Righteous One, Jesus the Christ.
May Your mercy allow understanding according to your excellent will. By Your Grace alone my God, and this through faith, may Your Holy will be done forever.
Amen.

There is a roar in those nations referred to as “advanced”.
A quaking of souls, massed together in humiliation,
Each one buzzes with desire.
Together a thunderous volume of hatred roars.
Against the Holy One they mummer.
For the love of sin they whisper their joy;
Now shouting with their unholy practice.
Do they think the din of unholy noise will not reach Heaven?
Adoring the parade of wicked desire.
Propriety is forced to hide;
That brilliant, lovely, gentle dressing of soul.
“Get away from us! You have nothing to offer anymore.”
So they turn to perfumes to hide the stench.
They turn to guilded eyes to hide the darkness within.
Rich clothing, consuming of wages gained,
Adorning rotting bodies.
“Propriety is dead! ‘Proper living’ is useless.
We will celebrate gain! This we will elevate to holy worship.”
Chaos fills the desire of man.
Unholy things fill his unholy temples.
While the body rises to the strength of proud legs,
His soul slithers on the ground.
As the sharpened blade glints in the sunlight,
So his practices, unholy, glint in the Majesty of God.
As the blade sinks deep to cut off life,
So the practices of unholy men rest on their breast bone.
A tiny shove and life is over.
Let surprise show on their faces.
Let the Holy Lord of Life press truth against the handle.
Let temptation, enticing, lies, and desire,
Be pressed away from Him.
Salvation is offered.
But the One who offers is relegated,
To the shadows of a darkened alley.
Who will dare approach?
Who will brave death to embrace Life?
The Holy One’s promises are eternally true.
One is for death.
The other is for Life.
Rise from your drunken stupor!
You die the Death unrestrained.
How will you stand on that Horrible day for sinners?
What strength will your legs of flesh find,
When He rises to judge?
So be it!
Let your soul slither on the ground!
It is in proper posture already.
For every knee will bow,
Every tongue will confess,
That Jesus, the Christ of God, is King,
Lord,
Master,
Glory,
Honor,
Righteousness,
Faithfulness,
And Truth.
Amen, Amen, Amen!
I doubt that it is possible for man to understand the things I am about to say. For he will perceive through his own understanding. And the understanding of man is filtered through greedy desire.
I do not mention greedy desire as a slur, but simply as a fact of his own nature. For every man is born of severe limit. Ignorance, death and sickness belong to him. Wherever he perceives an individual who is overcoming these things, he desires with greed to have (or with his pride, to reject).
You want the love of God’s people. You reject them because they do not love you as you love yourself. In the weakness of your being, you think it abhorrent that anyone should love God’s ways more than they love you.
But you do not understand the differences in love. We love you as a matter of mutual weakness. For the things that plague you also plague us. Ignorance, sickness and death cover all men. So that the love we have for you is born of compassion.
But the love we have for the Living God’s Holy Son, is not filled with compassion! He is endlessly wise, full of life, power beyond the wildest imagination of man, and eternal. Our love for Him is full of awe, reverence, worship, thanks and praise. How is it possible for us to give you this same love?
We serve you with the compassion that is born from our love for God. But your pride gets in the way. You don’t want to be thought of as weak. You don’t want pity, unless it comes dressed as excuse.
There is so much more to say regarding this. But let this stand as it is. Those who will ponder these things may well find understanding. For in their pondering, they may turn to God to understand.
Do not think we chide you because we hate you. We hate the weakness that was ours. As long as that weakness still dresses you, you receive the hatred of those who love God. Yet even in our hatred for the things that cover you, you receive our compassion. Even as our own weakness has received the compassion of God.
Yet with compassion, we deliver you the message of God. Boldly, we deliver you the messages of warning. Boldly, we speak to tear down the things you currently love. We make fun of what you think is sincere. For there is no life in the ways of man.
We know you will not accept our word as long as you are dressed in pride. For you consider us rebellious. We were once of you. And now you can’t understand why we have turned against you. But the compassion of God within us, drives us forward to speak, regardless your response.
You are urged to come and be with us. Not a single man who loves the Living God in Christ Jesus, desires this division to remain. What holds you back is not our hatred for the things that now cover you; as if we are snobish and proud. What hold you back is your own weakness in pride.
Only the Living God will reveal these things, and this through his most excellent wisdom. The weakness of flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdom of God. Only those things born of the Holy Spirit of God may enter the kingdom of heaven. You cannot join us without the humility of Christ covering you. You cannot truly love us unless your sins are forgiven.
May the Living God, the Holy Father of Christ Jesus, His Holy and Righteous Son, have mercy to wisely open the eyes of all who read this.
