You can work for “corporate Christianity” and never know Christ. You can make a living, yea a good living off Christianity, make it your “life,” and never feel God’s surgical knife cutting out all carnal nature.

In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”

Blind vs blind
Posted in uncategorized, tagged Blind vs blind on April 16, 2017| Leave a Comment »
We live a mixed world:
Thankfully the majority of people are not physically blind.
Sadly, the vast majority are spiritually blind.
More sad is the fact that many of the spiritually blind think they “see.”

HE CAN’T FLY?

The bumble bee was out
Bubbling in his flight.
He’s only about when it’s windless
(Or the wind is very light.)
For scientists try to say
He shouldn’t be able to fly
(They know so much about
all the truth that they come-by.)
He does have a bulky body
With limited sets of wings.
Never once fear, His Maker
Is fully aware of “minor” things.
Mr. Bee bubbles on, quite content
Unaware of his dire predicament,
Climbing in/out of deep-flower vent
Pollinating? Oh, that’s a side-event.

Sin is unnatural
Posted in uncategorized, tagged Sin is unnatural on April 16, 2017| Leave a Comment »
We were already alive
when we became aware of “life.” We’re alive when we become aware of death, that monster death. God reveals (in His Word) that life is a “teaser,” “an introduction” to real life SO much greater. He also reveals that death is also “an introduction” to a much worse death. It is natural to love life and hate death. Sin is unnatural. It tempts us to love death and to hate Life and its Source.

Ante-Nicene Quote
“…The second in which He will come on the clouds, bringing on the day which burns as a furnace, and smiting the earth with the word of His mouth, and slaying the impious with the breath of His lips, and having a fan in His hands and cleansing His floor, and gathering the wheat into His barn but burning the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
