Division


Some people say this world will never end.  They say all we have to do is take care of the planet. 

But it just struck me how many divisions there are in this world.  This is my restaurant, this is my store, this is my state, this is my football team, this is my……

I’m so tired of being witness to such a deluge of divisions.

A house divided cannot stand.

Useless Words (No Further Value)


What is good news to the one who thinks everything is just peachy?  Why is Christianity of such tiny esteem in this world?  Because a message is being promoted with the strength of greed.  The greedy recognize it as “profit”.  It “rings their bell”!

“We’ll give you a list of things you can do to receive accolades from everyone you know.  Righteousness will be yours by doing these simple tasks.  Think green.  Live United.  Refrain from volatile speech.  Consider everyone with equality.  Love, without reservation toward religion.  Embrace every thought, for every thought has eternal value.”

Who needs the Good News of the Gospel, when they have all the good news they can handle?  Who needs salvation, when there’s nothing wrong?  The only thing wrong in this world is the division caused by differing beliefs regarding what is good; that’s what they’ll tell you.  Isn’t that what’s being forced down the throat of every one of us?

Who will read the vibrant and living threats of God, when they have all they could ever want?  For $10.00, you can go to Wal Mart and buy more happiness.  Oh, I agree it won’t last long.  But their stock of “happiness” seems to have no end.  And eat?  Oh!  Eating we can do!  Utopia has come into view!  We’re finally free of that Living God stuff.  We don’t need Jesus!  We got it all!

Hmm.  I perceive a problem here.

The living threats of God are already on the way folks.  All the while, you live like tomorrow will be the same as today.

It is impossible for God to lie.  As surely as He has promised eternal life to those who humble themselves before His Majestic Holy Son, He will annihilate all who love this world more than Him.

You glorify your dead.  But less than a split second after the last breath, they are separated by the Judgment of God.  You glorify your greed and pride.  But God Glorifies His Holy Son.

If you knew what awaits you, just beyond your last breath, you’d perceive the Good News of the Gospel in a radically different light.

I’d tell you about the Love of God.  But you’d never understand from the perspective you now hold so dear.  The curious thing is, you have no stomach for the terror that is headed your way either.

I could speak to you with comforting words.  But you don’t warrant them.  I could speak to you with fiery words of Living Threat.  But you allow such words no authority among you.

What will you do, when you’re face to face (for the very first time) with the Living God?  I’ll fill in the blank for you.  You’ll desire to be anywhere but there.  You’ll quake in fear, like you’ve never felt before.

Here, death looms as a release from the things that bring you trouble.  There, there will be no place to hide.  No release.  No hope.  And no EXCUSES.

Toss this about a while.  Think about it.  As surely as The Living God lives, this will come upon all men who consider the Holy Son of God as a useless set of words.

The Powerless Gospel


“Live United” is the hope and mechanism of the gospel of man.  Because of those who propagate this lie, it could be termed the “Scientific Gospel. 

The scientific community quantifies the ability of man to raise himself to the level of God.  The scientific standard sets the boundaries of man’s righteousness and wickedness.  United, such people stand against the rule of God.

“Come out from them and be separate”, is the hope and mechanism of the Gospel of Christ.  By the calling and power of Christ, this is true good news.  For Jesus lifts a man far beyond the boundaries of man.  Jesus lifts his people to humility, while lowering pride to the grave.

Where you find the gospel of man, the Glory of God is diminished.  Where you find the Gospel of God, the glory of man is obliterated.

The scientific gospel glorifies man, therefore it is no good news at all.  No need for a change of heart, simply do the prescribed good works.  Even a pedophile, compulsive liar, reeling drunk, imprisoned murderer, and the myriad forms of wickedness among men, can Live United.

“But unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.”  Such a Holy statement requires good news.  Such a Holy statement requires the power of the Gospel of Christ.
