When you’re invited to a feast of a king it is best to be washed and dressed appropriately.  How much more does this apply to the king of kings?

What does it mean to be dressed and washed?  We are to be washed in his blood using only his sacrifice to clean us.  And we are to be dressed in his perfect holiness.  It is not acceptable to appear in our own. Our holiness is not clean and white enough.  Didn’t you realize the Father himself will appear?

And we can be sure we are invited.  Not only because he cannot lie, but also because we share in his ministry.  Those who will attend the banquet of the Lord are doing so now.  Such men and women are busily preparing to attend.  They too are engaged in the work the Lord has accomplished.

The Lord spoke of such who do not prepare to attend, and when asked how they got in, they have nothing to respond.  He has ordered them taken out cut to pieces and assigned a place with unbelievers.

Upon hearing these things why would you not choose to prepare?  Why would you let fear over rule your desire to attend?  Those who love him, those who obey the fathers commands, those who believe and prepare, those who watch. 

Such receive the promise

A line in the sand

A line in the sand is drawn by all.

” this point I shall not pass”.

But time and the elements seem to move what was scratched with so little time passed.

They say “my views have been refined.  I am forced to redraw what I’ve drawn”.

Well then draw.  My friend draw, till you find what is true.

Not just what identifies you.

Such is the way among  men found acceptable.

But I find I cannot dance to that song.

I had scratched my own line in the sand long ago,

Now to truth I am forced to belong.

The line has been drawn with a stick or a finger.

But now too cold steel I must reach.

I scrape away sand all the way down to bedrock.

The line I now draw can’t be breached!

The Father of Lies

He saw.  He learned.  He practised.  But he was not able to contain what he took in.  Pride swallowed him from the inside out.  As the righteous attributes of God grew, so did pride.

One moment surfaced the thought, “I will make a challenge.  I am worthy to be first.”  But it was just a thought.  Or was it?

Pride was nearly mature now.  The harvest of sin was near.  No, it was not “just a thought” .  It was the very instrument of harvest.

In deed, you will be first.  You are the father of lies.  The Lord Himself has given you that title.  And what was your desire has been given to another.  You contrived to murder Him.  But, to your horror, His righteous heart cannot remain in the grave!  HE IS FIRST!  And He is worthy to remain first forever.

No more challenges will surface.  None of those being groomed to take your place will ever consider equality with God something to be grasped.  No one will ever appear again who will resemble you.  Those He is redeeming are not from holy stock.  They are of sin and blood.  Jesus has purchased them with the very blood you caused to run free.  This will be their mark for eternity, “The Holy Lord of life has had mercy on us and for this He is our God”!

You are undone!  He, the Holy Lamb you slew, has opened your eternal reward.  There you will utterly perrish.  All who worship you will accompany you.  We will all turn our backs to you and truth will live among God and His people forever.  Amen!  Amen!  Amen!

Oh, you are smart you are wise.  You turn rocks into this pod I hold in my hand.  With it I write these things and give you praise for what you have.

You spend vast amounts of money and time to learn the things you know now to do. You turn things that were not into things that are, much like a god isn’t it.  And while I give thanks that I can communicate like this in this little pod, I have a word for you, oh man of this world.

You did not make the dirt.  You did not make space, time, substance, electricity, air, radiation, language, or the flesh you use to gain from the works of your hand.  This is true.  You have recieved these things.  And so have I. 

To what end have I taken the time to recount these things?  I have raised this issue to draw a comparison between your god and The Living God.

Your god has become the work of your hands but the living God gave you your hands. You worship one another’s bodies and all the things that you can say and do among yourselves but you give no glory to the one who gave you this ability. You are like those who built the Tower of babble.  You are like the leader of America, who said in his campaign in 2008, “Science will save us”.

Where, in your paraphernalia of technology, is the worship of the Most High God?  Where is the humility that comes from understanding, with God’s wisdom, that you are created you are not the Creator?  Where is the time that used to be Sunday?  The time set apart for worship of the God who made us?

There is so much more to consider about this.  But answer even this much and then we have something to speak of.  You will say as you have said to me before, “There is no God therefore what we do is righteous”.  Don’t you think it curious that you should kill God just so you can have what you already have?  How convient for you that you can say words, and just like that, God is dead.  Wow!

I will leave this matter for a while and see what comes of it. May God bless you in your quest for what is true.

The Wall of Truth

There is a wall which lays hard against the mass of men.  It is a wall of truth.  He who built this wall has done so from the stock of men.

He has carved out stones from the hardened hearts of men.  And He has positioned each stone of truth at the very place in this wall which pleases Him to set it.  God has done this among us.  Who are we to complain regarding the testimony of another stone of truth which appears in the very wall in which we are set?

Where is pride allowed or even condoned within the ranks of God’s people?  Where does envy belong?  For we are all of those who have received the truth from He who cannot lie.  Let us instead be humbled by this understanding.  Cease your attacks against your brothers for the sake of envy.  There is no blessing to be had among those who rebel.  Blessing belongs to the humble of heart.

“This word is spoken to all so that there might be understanding among My people.”

We Never Get Past 17

I am an older man now.  And I realize that I am just one step above the idiot I was when I was 17.  It’s curious how we never seem to “grow up”.  We all remain little kids playing tricks with our bodies.

We balance our lives according to need.  And most of us get pretty good at it.  While some people act as if they were really “grown ups”, they betray their self perception every day.  It is a hard thing to come to the realization that what I think I am is a far cry from the truth.  But isn’t it necessary to make a truthful accounting to ourselves regarding what we really are?

When the lights go out and we are laying there thinking about the day, which one of us can say he or she lived a perfect life in a perfect day?  Stupid things were said or done.  Thoughts filtered through our mind that shouldn’t have been there.  And misunderstandings seem to rule every relationship.  We talk to each other.  But it’s like we only make guttural noises.  Oh they understand us alright.  But they understand us from their own perspective.

This leads me to the central thought this morning.  Why do we glorify those who can couch “truth” in poetic terms?  I mean, one man will say “We are all sinners.”  And no one will listen to what he just said.  Another man will say the same thing with 300 pages of a book.  And in everything he says he never says “We are all sinners.”  People buy his book and laud his great skill.  They even pay $35.00 just to read the book.  Now this just leaves me mystified!

It’s like a madness among men.  They won’t listen to truth given freely.  But they will gladly go spend their hard-earned money to hear someone say what is true (provided the author has hidden the truth carefully, like one who hides the pill for a child in a gob of jam.)   The better the author is at hiding truth behind edible words, the more praise he gets.

This is an amazing thing to observe among the children of this world.  As far as I can see, the culprit of this folly is pride.  Tell me if I’m wrong.
