Chitchat

She came over to me to chitchat.  So, against my desire, I did chitchat.  We talked about dogs.  We talked about family.  We talked about public schools.  We talked about spanking.  We talked about survival, regardless the upbringing. Finally, we got to my desire.

We were talking about the foolishness of children.  And I found occasion to tell her about how the book of Proverbs turned my life toward God.  But before I could finish the first sentence, she said she had to leave.

She left.  I Shrugged my shoulders.  But the encounter made me realize something.  I don’t want to chitchat.  I don’t want to talk about politics.  I don’t want to talk about our problems.  I don’t want to share in the ritual of blame.  I want to talk the language of Heaven.  I want to talk about Jesus.  I want to talk about the solution.

There are two languages that people can use.  One is limited to the things of Man.  The other is limited to the things of God.  Most people are not capable of talking about the things of God.  But the one who loves the language of Heaven can talk about them both.

Define freedom.

Words and Actions

Do the angels in heaven fail to tell one another that they love God?  No they say it in praise to Him openly and to one another.  Is only among men the such words and praise are forbidden.

But who should we align to?  Shall we join men or shall we join the angels in heaven?  For we will surely be among them.  Will it be known of us that we were ashamed before men?

Let us not praise God only with words, but with actions also.  But good actions among men are a welcome addition to society.  It’s the words they hate so much.  And those who keep them to themselves for fear of reproach, prove that they hate those words also.

Words that you will likely never hear from the HR staff of a company:

“Let God come in here.  Talk about him all you want.  Because wherever God is, good things happen.”

You will not see a sign like that posted in a bar. 

There will be no places made along the highway, where people can pull over and pray.  A secluded and beautiful little place, where quiet is the only regulation.  And Christianity is the commanded focus.

The government will never find funding for a public memorial, depicting the beautiful things that Christ has done for humanity.   Certainly nothing similar to the memorial of the Vietnam War, Mount Rushmore, and the like.

You will never hear the president give orders to the citizens of America to fast and pray to the living God in Christ Jesus, for the sake of some trouble.  Never.

But you will hear the glorification of man.

From very early in the morning to deep into the night, Man babbles about with words for everything but God.  All his celebrations have one purpose: “Make Man happy”.

The statistics are vague but they are consistent in variation.  It is said that women speak about 20,000 words a day.  While men use about 7000.  How many of those words, do you think, relate to the glory of Christ?  Let the reader do the math, but multiply those numbers times the population of the world.  What is the volume of words used by Man everyday?  How little is dedicated to the Holy One?

Heaven is!  And there, Christ is King and glorified.  For the time being, the world is.  But take note of how Christ is not glorified.

Judge for yourself,  should we really ask God to bless America?  Does any nation really have the right to ask for the blessing of God?

PS: How many words of yours glorify God’s Holy Son all day long?
