Hey there studly guy!  Howdy gorgeous woman!  Have you heard the news lately?  Scientists are saying with a slight tweak to the genetic material they can cause us to live for 500 years!  Whooo hoooo!!!!!!

You might think that’s good news, but its not.  Even if they invent that tweak  tomorrow morning and you happen to have enough money to purchase a dose of whatever they make, you’re still gonna die.

Yep.  You’re going to get old and wrinkly.   Your bones are going to give out on yah.  Your eyes won’t work too well.  And you’re going to turn up your TV really loud.

Then the day will come. The Sun will shine.  The birds are going to chuirp.  People will laugh, cry, eat, and dance.  But you won’t be here.  Nope you just won’t be here.

I’m not going to bother to tell you where you will find yourself on that day.  You wouldn’t listen to me if I told you.  And you wouldn’t change your life if you let me talk to you.

I just wrote this little piece for you,  in case the Lord happens to be merciful and cause you to drop by here.

There’s no need to tell you to have a good day.  That’s the entire focus of your life isn’t  it.

By the way, my hope’s name is Jesus.

The Convient Conspiracy

“Let us conspire to conveniences.  Let us fabricate with the most expensive materials.  Let us melt down antiquity and build anew.  We have been caught in lies before.  And our desire to secure our own way has met resistance at every turn.  We need an entirely new approach.”

They looked about for materials and ideas.  They have settled on a rather convient approach.  Grace is a solid foundation as well as a sufficient covering.   Not to mention that it requires no effort at all to raise up and maintain.  But to call it by its proper name will not do.  For they have conspired to bring down the Holy language of antiquity.

“Love, yes.  We will call it love.”  Who can disagree?  And let us examine what implements might fit within that definition.  Most convient, this ‘love’.  Most convient indeed.”

Look how they have left off holiness.  Look how they shed righteousness.  Look how they accuse comment as judgmental attitude.  Look now, see them carry a new banner.  Legislation will now enforce love.

Even so, Lord Jesus, come.

By His Grace.

Where is He?

Angel 013

All day long and into the deepest of night, men roust about doing what men do.  From time to time trouble visits.  It is then that man asks, “Where is God in all this trouble?”  Since there is no answer from the Most High, men fabricate answers of their own.

But God is here, my friends.  He is working even to this day to sustain the very place where you question His motives.  He sustains the sun that crops might grow.  He brings rain and life that you might look up to Him and give Him proper worship.  He is life.  Wherever you find life, there is God.

We can’t hear it, but there is a great amount of activity in heaven for the sake of those who ask where God is in all their troubles.  You can’t see them come and go on your behalf.  Regardless, the Lord is busy sustaining this place of testing.  Even while He and His Holy servants are building the place of Joy for all who are found to love Him.

I wonder if man would care if they could see the activity of the Lord all around them.  I fear that man’s tendency to be profane would discount holy Angels as mere irritants.  Perhaps it is to your benefit that you can’t see or hear their activity on behalf of the Holy Lord of Life.  For then you would fall into a sin which, for now, you are incapable.

Listen to who you will.  Adhere to what pleases your heart.  Chase after all the winds that graze your cheek.  There is but one “way”.  It has been carved out of this world with the Holy hands of Jesus.  He has spoken the manner of approach to the Father’s Holy Throne.

To endure something is not the same as having godly patience.  I may endure something without my will.  That is to say someone may imprison me for some means.  Because it is not my choice I endure.

But the patience God gives agrees that where ever I find myself is the place where I should be.  Godly patience will consider handcuffs and manacles as if they are jewelry.

In the teaching of the Gospel it is not wise to endure the Great Commission.  But with all godly patience we instruct full of mercy and truth.  Mercy will often ruffle the teachers feathers, while truth will ruffle the student.  Regardless, Godly patience demands that we continue.

Enemies of God

Psalm 34,18

Psalm 34,18 (Photo credit: NEWS OF PEACE)

You who think the Lord is an angry beast of a God:

You do so because you are His enemy.  How does it make logical sense to consider your enemy in a good light?  He desires you to become His friend.   But your pride is holding you back.

Look how you curse His Holy name.  Isn’t that to be expected?   Won’t an enemy curse his foe?  But that is not what God desires.  He sits ready to forgive your unholy, godless, and utterly profane life.

Your enemy is beautiful, lovely, righteous, eternal, endlessly powerful, forgiving, and full of grace.  This is what you hate.  Don’t you think it a bit odd that you should hate what you adore in yourself and others?

Yet, we warn.  Yet we speak on His behalf among men.  Yet we invite as He has taught us to do.  Yet we pour out our words and very lives to convince His enemies to enter His camp as friends.  But who hears?  Who understands?  Who bends their wicked will so that they can peer out at what is Good?

8Taste and see that the Lord is good;

blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

9Fear the Lord, you his holy people,

for those who fear him lack nothing.

10The lions may grow weak and hungry,

but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

11Come, my children, listen to me;

I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

12Whoever of you loves life

and desires to see many good days,

13keep your tongue from evil

and your lips from telling lies.

14Turn from evil and do good;

seek peace and pursue it.  (Psalm 34)
