America the Beautiful

America is such an interesting case study for Human Nature.  Freedom is flaunted as the most desirable thing.  But what do they do with their freedom?  They sell it to the highest bidder.

In my lifetime, I have seen America exemplify the reality of human nature, sin.  The pendulum of Freedom swings wildly between love and hatred.  Right now they are thinking of the definition of love.

I have seen America hand the fabric of their freedom over to social etiquette.  America will do whatever Society demands.  Regardless the cost, regardless collateral damage.

Right now it’s popular to love.  So America is all about equality and love.  But I have seen America hate for the same reason.

This is a very unpopular message.  But you should know, the pendulum will swing again.  Remember the British, the Indians, the Chinese, the Blacks, the Japanese, it’s own soldiers, the Hispanics, and the list keeps going on. 

Who’s next?  It seems like America is willing to love, but it also needs someone to hate.  Evidently this is what free people do.  But I refuse to believe that this is what godly people do.

The Challenge of Complexities

You know the language of Man in all its various translations; superstition,  fiction, history, sports, entertainment, finance, politics, social etiquette, music, slang, death, pleasure, elegance, and a million more subdivisions.  Why do you not know the language of God?

We will pass away.   This earth will pass away.  Superstition,  fiction, history, sports, entertainment, finance, politics, social etiquette, music, slang, death, pleasure, elegance, and a million more subdivisions will all pass away.  How is it that you do not know the language of eternity?

Yes, I See You

Yes I see you.  And isn’t that what you crave, to be seen.  Yeah, you.  The one with the beard shaped so carefully.  The one with just the right clothing.  The one who thinks that the way he looks and what he owns carves him a large portion.  Yeah. . . I saw you.

You have plans for the old man you will be.  Great boasting of what you were.  And when sickness and health comes near, you will “face it like a man”.

But I also see what you don’t see.  I see a man sniveling and groveling before the Most High God.  Or else I see a man spitting venomous hatred at the living God, because God does not respect the majestic nature of this one who stands before him.  Yeah. . . I see you.

Do you think this only applies to the self aggrandizement of a man?  I see you, the woman who has social etiquette down to an exquisite fine art.  I see the child who has everything he wants, except a desire for patience or obedience.  I see the drunkard who’s proud of his ability to kill himself.  So many who are proud of their mind.  Oh you millions of misguided ungodly folk, yes I see you!

I see you in the here, and I see you in the there.  How is it you only have eyes for today?
