“The Faith”
Teaches what is Holy;
What is unknown,
How to understand,
How to endure,
How to “become”.
Temptation must come;
In the form of ailment,
In the form of beckoning toward sin,
In the form of fear,
With the threat of destruction,
Yet with the opportunity to glorify the Living God’s Holy Son.
Do we understand these things? Of course we have. The question to us all is this:
Why do we not apply what we know we understand?
The doctor said America’s sickness may be terminal.
He recommended daily ethics exercises, the majority of which should be done from the kneeling position.
He did not recommend heavy lifting; the lifting of one’s hands is best, given the ailment.
He also suggested that America might want to join a therapeutic group; one that can lay out a clear path to recovery.
I asked him if he had any particular group he would suggest more than all the others.
“Yes.” He said. “I have found that the only group capable of rectifying this kind of emergency, was the group they call ‘The Way'”.
And he recommended strongly that America should distance itself from those who simply give up and die.
I asked him what caused this. He told me it was a drug addiction.
America has been drinking the poison of liars for far too long.
What we really need is a prescription of truth elixir. But he was afraid to prescribe it because the patient is so weak.
I see a fearsome mistake that men far too often make. I see it for two reasons. First I see the mistake because I saw it in other men. Then the mistake came to life as I saw it in myself.
The mistake is that any man should think he holds the truth in his own hand. And the mistake becomes evident when our actions and words do not reflect perfection and purity.
I know that many will not understand this. They will think that the body of religious words have power in themselves. But this mistake happens when people forget that the body of religious words are but a shadow of He who is immeasurably pure and brilliantly righteous.
The mistake happens when people look to their own history, or even the history of any other man, and think the truth they perceive can belong to man.
Man, in himself, can never hold the fullness of what is true. I used the word never and meant it with all the fullness that that means. Man’s reliance on the Living God’s Holy Son does not cease at our eternal appearance in heaven.
Truth is the Living God himself. Truth is not a body of evidence among men, whether in word or in deed. Truth is the Living
Person of Jesus the Christ of God.
Failure to pray will surely lead us into things that are not completely true. Failure to humble ourselves before the Majesty of God, will surely cause us to live abundantly in a Body of Lies.

A new billboard scars the land of man. “LOVE WINS”.
I was in the room while the news spoke of this. They showed an old man with a white beard saying that they chose this message because it is not offensive to either side.
With what control I could use, I restrained my voice as I muttered, “Define love, son.” Love honors what is Holy. It is the lust of man that renders Holy as if it were some evil thing. It is the “love of man” that obscures the Love of God.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7New International Version (NIV)
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
So I have some questions about this:
Is it love to demand your own way at the insult of others?
Is it love to redefine a great volume of words so that they match your ideology?
Is it love to force your preference of sexual experience on others, simply because you think you have “rights”?
Hey folks. Listen to this. “God is Love”. Man is, by his nature, an offence to the Love of God. Are we exempt from offence because we nullify the Love of God; the Holy One before whom NO evil will ever stand?
You think you’ve come up with another victory because you think you can use the word love to uphold your selfish choices. You think, “Surely, they will respect this message. ‘Love Wins” can’t possibly upset anyone.” Have you considered the Only One who matters? Have you consulted His eternal wisdom as you make your plans to retain your sins? God is Sovereign. Why do you allow yourself to “guess” about what offends Him? All the while, the Bible stands ready to be read with understanding.
But this is your day to do as you please. I, and many others, stand to warn: The day is soon coming when all Man will be silenced. God will have His Holy Day to do as pleases Him. No longer will there be a redefinition of words. He will speak with eternal clarity. He will not hide behind crafty words. Who will be able to bear what He will say?
So much to say. Who will bother to listen?
What does the world say?
“Love me while I am wicked, with no intention to do what is pure and good!”
What is the response of the Christian?
“Get your hands off my throat so we can talk.”
Today is the court of Man. There is a singular case on the docket: who is true and who is the liar. Who is the accused? Who is the plaintiff?
It’s a shell game of two. When they walked in, did they take their proper seat? Every officer in the court is one man, you.
Today, you get to be the law. Today, you are the judge. There is only one verdict possible. Choose fatal condemnation for one, and eternal freedom for the other.
What’s at stake? One of the two who sit before your examination is vital to the security and welfare of all. The other is an eternal mass murderer.
Today, judgment belongs to Man. Assess correctly. Be wise in your questioning. Choose wrong, and extinction is set free!
“Be silent before me, you islands!
Let the nations renew their strength!
Let them come forward and speak;
let us meet together at the place of judgment.” (Isaiah 41: 1)
By His Grace
We: Live, Die, Face Judgment. Jesus or die twice.
