“But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the coming of the Son
of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were
eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that
Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took
them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be” (Matthew
24:37-39).
Have we not gone mad?
Are we not destroying our habitat, our wildlife, our farmland, the very
food we eat? Do we not see the entropic state we live in? Have we not
allowed all of our governments to atrophy in meaning where politicians
without understanding are guiding our planet into a new world order of
self-proclaimed enlightment sans God? Is our economy still really based
on capitalism or is it only its appearance?
Do we treat sports
heroes, pop culture stars, and music idols as gods? Does music portray
manhood and building loving characters, or does it degrade us into loose
moral function by overt sexualization of women and keeping what should
be men into a state of childhood?
Do we not follow a variety of
self proclaimed gurus in their self oriented disciplines which are
structured to breakdown all existing order into chaotic confusion; while
all the while proclaiming we are an enlightened society?
Is materialism not a god? Has it not taken away from our value and principle? Has money not replaced virtue and wisdom?
Is
there not a vast sentiment of being content with remaining apathetical
and complacent in attitude towards ventures of an eternal nature?
Our lives are based on
entertainment; what have we let
enter into and
maintain our very own
minds,
petty irrelevant issues? Media has made us ignorant of the entire
system; if we pay attention to the left hand, will we know what the
right hand is doing? Our minds have been corrupted by the subtleties of
the serpent and turned away from the simplicity which is in Jesus
Christ.[i] Have we not slowly given away our basic freedoms and rights
in this subtle manner?
Are we blind and cannot see
this faint ridding of: God being taken out of schools, elimination of
the traditional Christian family concept, promotion of a trans-gendered
agenda, and sexual freedom? Has the church not accepted many of these
principles? Have we accepted the
absolutes stated in the Bible or have we become lukewarm in our affairs?[ii]
Everything
is pushing towards: relativity of our morals, ignorance via
degradation of education and debasing art in all of its forms (i.e.
music), and the self-pleasing lust of this world. These are the
undertones to silence Christianity. Most people
unknowingly
give homage to satanic theology by living their lives by the rule, “Do
What Thou Wilt.” This coincides with satanism in that it is the worship
of one’s
self; the heart of selfishness, the
lust of the things of this world.
“Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own
lusts,
And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers
fell asleep, all things continue as [they were] from the beginning of
the creation.”[iii]
Do you know what your cause is? What do you live for?
The whole of man is to fear God and keep his
commandments. We are told in Matthew 22:36-40, “Master, which [is] the great
commandment
in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with
all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is
the first and great
commandment. And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two
commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”[iv] Our foundation for each other is to thrive in an environment in which
love is perpetuated.
We
are all unique individuals and its amazing how glorious God, our Father
is in that he made us all with our unique character and free will. For
we should do as Romans 12:2 says, “And be not conformed to this world:
but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove
what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect,
will of God.” Our human nature is one based on selfishness and the lust for our own wills instead of the
love
for God’s will. For if it is not of God, it is of vanity. “For all
that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And
the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will
of God abideth for ever.”[v]
As the world once asked before, what is truth?[vi] For even the world knows that there is no err in
truth.
Our own lives depend on our ability to perceive things deeper then what
we have been taught to accept. Never be satisfied with lukewarm
Christianity. Christianity is the
only truth
based on love, not philosophy, not man, not structured in a way that we
place man’s teachers on top of the pyramid to keep the sheep,
ourselves, at the bottom.
Jesus Christ alone is our foundation, who lifts us all up to greater heights. Realize that there is movement towards allowing the
truth
of Christianity to co-exist and globalize with all other worldly
religions under the false notions of peace. This is the great
deception.
Have we no backbone? Are we really that
content with our own lives that no one stands up for anything anymore?
To quote from the movie Braveheart, William Wallace sees a whole army of
men who are content not knowing and not caring about the greater task
at hand. “Ay, fight and you may die, run and you’ll live. At least a
while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing
to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one
chance…” For it was Jesus who said, “Think
not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a
sword.”[vii] But how do we
fight? We
fight with the book of
love. “For the
word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged
sword,
piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the
joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of
the heart.”[viii]
Wake up to this sinister spiritual
wickedness! Let us open our eyes to see that everything is either
getting pushed more towards the
absolute of
love or the absolute of selfishness in subtle ways.
For selfishness knows not love and is the antithesis of love; that is
truth.
Someday the curse upon God’s creation which began in Genesis will be
overruled. Revelation tells of the great reversals which will take
place and make creation anew. “And God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor
crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are
passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all
things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are
true and faithful.”[ix] And by definition, there can only be one
truth, for the
truth is the
truth. "Thy word [is]
true [from] the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments [endureth]
for ever.”[x]
God’s love is
true from the beginning and will carry through for us till the end. This is how we should understand love. It is
love for
God that gives
meaning to all. A
meaning given to us at creation; a
love for us carried through with our redemption.
