The Antics of Folks These Days

-


 If i'm wise enough to repent and trust in the Lord, then anyone could do it, That doesn't mean bearing church on Sunday morning when i know i don't want to be there.  YAH, You know about that so i need not explain it to anybody else.  i'm done with observing and making commentary about what people do and don't do at church.  i'll gladly let God be the judge of that.  i heard somebody say we've become so open-minded that our brains are beginning to fall out.  There is stability in knowing and studying and investing in the Truth.  Spiritual drifting has been with us for centuries so nobody should be surprised or shocked at the antics of folks these days.  

There is a nonstop seeking for answers that leads to nowhere.  i'm beginning to see the validity in seeking the right questions, but that's almost become cliche now.  Asking the right question, asking the right questions is something that's been drilled into the minds of all of us. i'm becoming more and more interested in seeking the fruit of good teaching.  i've seen quite a few on YouTube and television who have no right standing behind a pulpit.  What irks me is that it's not about the message anymore--it's about the messenger.

i'm not going to bother telling anyone about believing God and His Word in order to prevent going through the Tribulation, but i leave that in God's hands when it comes to the destiny of others.  i will speak up if and when God wills me to do so.  i am not ordained.  i haven't gone through years and years of study of Scriptures.  i have no credibility whatsoever.  i am just a man who has come a long way in terms of repentance and i'm still going through the ongoing process of repentance.  i could only hope that others may choose to do something about their destiny.  There are probably a lot of strangers i'd like to meet in heaven.

 As He taught them a shadow of the cross fell across the old testament and their "eyes were opened."  He was that ram at Abraham's alter.  He was that spotless Passover Lamb whose blood was shed to bring freedom from slavery and deliverance from death.  He was that scarlet thread that hung out Rahab's window.  The Shepherd King:  David spoke so much about Him in the Psalter.  He was Isaiah's suffering servant, the fourth man in the furnace with Shadrach, Meshash, and Abed-Nego.  And yet He will never vanish from my sight unless i allow it.  Jesus' purpose isn't to push Himself onto anyone.  As humans, as mortals, He wants us to come to Him.  That's probably the only Hunger He ever has!  Is for us to come to Him.  i was the other disciple walking along the road to Emmaus.  i've gone from the road to Damascus to the road to Emmaus.  i've been writing about what Christ has done for me. Praise goes to the Lord! ...

Having Seen the Lord on the Road

 1 Timothy:  Make sure no other doctrine is taught, no fables which cause dispute, where there is no godly edification. Timothy, prevent the spread of false teaching. Legalists cannot mix law and grace.  They engage in idle talk, having strayed with their meaningless babble.  The law is not made for the righteous person, but for the lawless, ungodly, unholy, and profane, something of which i was guilty for so long and even have the temptation to fall back into the pit from time to time.  i obtained God's mercy because i committed those wrongs in unbelief, or as a back-slider and as someone prone to worldly and fleshly desire and lust. Now i believe in Jesus Christ and only by His grace will i obtain everlasting life.  Grace by faith and trust in Him.  In Him alone.  If i were to be a young man's mentor, i would want to be a quiet encourager, a serene influence, i would want to interest him by saying as little meaningless babble as possible and lea...

When I Haven't Removed the Plank From My Own Eye

Heavenly Father, help me align myself to Your will.  Shall i take advantage of the free time and begin at the seminary?  Could i use this motel room as a sanctuary despite the distractions?  Please help me before idolatry decays my soul any further.  Don't let this defeating habit in my life rob me of my confidence in Your power to give me victory over sin making me hesitant to offer Christ as the answer to others controlled by sin.  Don't let this habit destroy my incentive to share my faith because of feeling like a hypocrite.  How could i witness to others when i haven't removed the plank from my own eye? --[Matthew 7: 1-5] Sin always results in death of some kind. It is worth the continual struggle to combat temptation.  The awful, never-ending process of combating temptation is God's means of maturing me and confirming me to the image of Christ.  To throw my hands up in defeat is to abandon the process and to miss out on life's most important...
