No doubt you listen with great intense;
You who faithfully serve The One of magnificence.
And from your charge you wait to hear,
The praise of the Living One ring in your ear.
Though separation of origin,
And difference in substance,
We serve the same God.
Glory is His!
His name to all is Christ Jesus!
Amen, amen and amen!

Pick a town of moderate size. Let’s suggest that the town has 45 Christian churches in it. Just for giggles let’s say the average attendance is 80 people. That’s 3600 fictional characters.
What would that town be like if all 3600 of its Christian citizens turn to God with full obedience?
I’m not talking about tithing. I’m not talking about reading the Bible. I’m not talking about prayer or good works. I’m talking about a complete abandon to do the will of the Living God in Christ Jesus.
We hear an awful lot of excuses being handed out for the sake of drawing people in. One I’ve seen recently says, “No perfect people allowed”. I understand the premise, but it’s also an open door to a lack of devotion.
But I’ll just throw this idea out there. And suggest a little more Bible reading. What happened to Israel when David stepped up? What happened to Israel when Samuel took his place? And what of Gideon, and all the rest who took their rightful place before the Most High God.
If an entire nation can be turned around by one faithful servant, what might happen with 3600 of them? What might happen with 3? Look at what has happened because of 11.
I better hurry and post this before the Lord returns, or we will never find out.

You look at me and complain that I am not “of you”. I look at you and consider the same thing. Did you realize that? Or did you think your view of things so proper that anyone who does not agree should be put to death for the sake of his worthless thoughts?
The entire world does not agree with the Living God’s thoughts. In fact, you can’t possibly know them. (So how can you possibly agree?) Yet the Living God does not throw away His Mercy toward us all; he is utterly unlike the ways of Man.
Look at how you divide according to the thoughts of a man. Look at how God includes, regardless how we cannot agree with him.
Doesn’t this put us to absolute shame? Aren’t we, as one, become a worthless product of the Holy Living God’s Holy Desire?
There is no one like God, in Christ Jesus His Holy Son.
There is nothing like His embrace of Holy Forgiveness.
There is nothing on earth worth our time, if we don’t have His Love;
His Holy Love that transcends every barrier.
I know you balk at this, all you of this world.
I know the flesh hates such words of proper praise and placement.
I know the eternal nature of the Living God has no place within the things of man.
I know you cannot accept these words, or the ones who speak them.
And what a shame, that you should remain outside His Holy Love.
And what horrible future there is for such a heart.
And what potential there is if you would just lay down your pride.
And how long is eternity, that you should remain estranged from the Living God’s Son.
They say, “You are only human”. As if that saying is some consolation. As if those words remove the spawn of failure called grief. We have stabbed ourselves through the heart, what can repair such a fatal wound?
In truth they are trying to show mercy. But it is for the sake of His Mercy that grief has come. For this reason “being human” is no consolation at all.
He has loved us with the most inexpressible love. And the greatest of our good intentions fall flat, like untuned strings on a well made violin, we have no song to sing. It is impossible for words alone to give us consolation. We find ourselves in desperate need of what this world cannot deliver.
But doesn’t He come to us very quickly? Doesn’t he support our slumping frame? Doesn’t he urge us to continue regardless our shame?
“This is but today my son. The entirety of your life has not arrived. I do not give as the world gives. Let Me be God. Let Me judge what is true.” And so, in a variety of form, the Lord speaks lovingly to his children.
Our faith finds no help from being human. Our faith finds no help in the consolation from men. Our faith was forged in the bloody beating of the Holy Lord Jesus. The raging fires of hell only perfected perfection. Our consolation is delivered with a Holy kiss from life itself.
Christianity is not a religion. It is an indescribably beautiful relationship with the Holy and Righteous Son of the Living God. This is why the peace we have cannot be disturbed or even encouraged by man.
GLORY IS HIS ALONE!

The Holy Lord of life is rich in splendor. In his wisdom he gives gifts to men.
Obscuring pride by dispensing faith, the Most High God provides praise for his Holy Son.
10 million men speak willingly of the Glory of God. By the power of the Holy Spirit they have received, so they speak according to the wisdom of the Living God.
Even the contemplations of the wicked are fraught with Holy themes. The story of God’s Christ is replete among the things of men.
Unavoidable Glory is produced in all creation, both heaven and earth. For the work of Christ is so dearly loved by His Holy and Righteous Father.
It is right to desire to be more for His Holy sake. But wisdom teaches us to retain the seat we are given, as we play our received instrument in his Holy Symphony of Love.
