“There is a necessary separation of good from evil, of true from false, of the right from wrong that constitutes the criterion of moral judgment of human behavior. “Inclusivity” opposes this distinction, allowing oneself to be deliberately contaminated by evil to adulterate the good, equating the true and the false in order to corrupt the former and give legitimacy to the latter.” Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò

The Gospel includes us all. It is the singular "inclusivity". For all of us have sinned and fallen short of the Glory God intended for us to know as full human beings. We lost that glory of being fully alive. As it is written, all we like sheep have gone astray; we have, every one of us turned from God to devise what we think would be a life better than He defined. And it has ruined us all. Human history teaches clearly that humanity will never be its own salvation. Sin will never save humanity. Going "our own way" in rebellious opposition to what God says makes for life will continue to rot humanity from the inside out.

On the cross, Jesus Christ included every human that had ever or would ever draw breath on the planet. The Creator is worth and infinite number of His creations. When the Creator became a creature, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, He was THE man who could bear the sin of every person who would ever be. He bore in His own human body, experienced in His own human emotions the full-bore wretchedness, the evil, the indifference, the violence, the sickness and disease, the hatred that anyone would ever bear toward another person made in God's image, even the very power of death itself was willfully and fully absorbed by Jesus. In His death, the death of deaths, He broke the power of sin to enslave humanity. He has done everything needed to restore us to the Love of God. He has done everything necessary for us to be fully human again. He has done everything necessary for us to have a new heart, a new spirit, a new spiritual DNA.

This is true inclusivity. This is God gift of unending life for all people. Being a gift, it must be received. Receiving it will mean that you turn from self-destructive delusion and surrender you whole life to Life Himself. He will keep His promises to transform you from the inside out; to make you whole...ALL OF YOU!

  TIMING Years ago, I head an old preacher say, “The right thing at the wrong time is the wrong thing.” That statement is an offense to the culture being worshipped world-wide today. There is a lust for the immediate, as a line from an old movie stated, “Immediate gratification takes too long!” We want faster internet, immediate responses to our texts, mobile orders at the ready when we walk into Starbucks. What we want, we demand to have NOW. We are masters at justifying ourselves. “Well, we’re engaged already and we’re going to get married anyway, so what’s wrong with us living together and being sexually intimate now?” God’s timing in human relationship is not arbitrary, it is protective and covering. Sad to say, even some who call themselves followers of Jesus Christ choose to justify their living in sexual sin now, because they promise that they will one day get married. The context where sexual intimacy finds its true meaning and purpose is in the covenant of marriage. ...

 THE FOLLY OF IDOLATRY Martin Luther said that the human heart is an idol factory. The truth is that we were created to know and live by the gracious rule of and in the Presence of God who created us. Our peace, our understanding of meaning and purpose can only be truly grounded in God who created us for that meaning and purpose. The rebellion of Adam and Eve, their decision to do the opposite of what God said would make for life, resulted in spiritual and ultimately physical death. They chose to believe they needed something more than what God had provided. Their doomed attempt to try and live life without reference to God as the ground of meaning and purpose did not make life fuller, but emptied it. They wanted to decide what was good and what was evil without God and the disintegration of human life was the consequence. Rather than living in the Presence of God and by the gracious rule of God all around them, they turned from wholeness to brokenness, from fulfilment to scarc...

  WORKING AGAINST ALL HUMANITY 1 Thessalonians 2:15-16 “They fail to please God and WORK AGAINST ALL HUMANITY   as they try to keep us from preaching the Good News of salvation to the Gentiles. By doing this, they continue to pile up their sins.” WOW! What a startling statement! St. Paul is making it crystal clear that those who oppose and work to prevent the proclamation of the Gospel are actually “working against ALL HUMANITY.” Why would he write that? It is because the only means of the restoration, reclamation and salvation of humanity is what God has done for all people through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. That is the essence of the Gospel: Jesus Christ. To oppose and try to silence the presentation of the Gospel is to work against the reclamation of all humanity. Who would want to work against ALL humanity? Satan is the name by which he is known. He hates ALL humanity because every human being still bears the image of God, albeit that ima...
