 MORE THAN A "FINE-TUNING" IS NEEDED

The prevailing cultural mindset of our day would have you actually believe that all you need in your life is some "fine-tuning" because there's nothing really that broken in you.

It's a well-crafted lie and appeals to a gangrenous pride that has infected humanity since Adam and Eve blamed God for their own rebellious folly and its lasting effect on all of humanity.

Every philosophical system, every religious system, every person when left to their own thought in isolation admits that something is wrong. Things are not what they should be relationally, nationally, emotionally, physically, psychologically, politically, etc.

People, we do not need a "fine-tuning". When something is dead, it doesn't need another coat of makeup to spruce it up. What humanity needs is a new heart, a new life to replace the internal, spiritual death that continues to mar, divide, destroy and deceive. 

What is broken is incapable of fixing itself. It needs help from outside itself. God knows that and has done what is necessary for all humanity to be restored in perfect relationship with the One in Whom Life is found. God has already done what was eternally impossible for us to even contemplate. Jesus Christ took into Himself the sum-total death of the human race brought on by sin and conquered it as evidenced by His Resurrection from the dead. 

We can now receive forgiveness for our true moral guilt, receive new hearts and a new spirit for He will come and live out His life in us by the Holy Spirit.

You don't need tweaking. You need the power of a New Life. Believe what God has done for you. Receive His grace. Become fully human again. There is no other way.

 HEBREWS 10:1-2, 10-18 "The sacrifices under that system ( the Old Covenant) were repeated again and again, year after year, but they were never able to provide perfect cleansing for those who came to worship.   If they could have provided perfect cleansing, the sacrifices would have stopped, for the worshipers would have been purified once for all time, and their feelings of guilt would have disappeared.   For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time.  Under the Old Covenant, the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins.   But our High Priest offered Himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then He sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand.   There He waits until His enemies are humbled and made a footstool under His feet.   For by that one offering He forever m...

 James 1:5-8 " If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and He will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.   But when you ask Him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind.   Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.   Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do." We must remember that God is never upset that we don't know or understand how to live out the New Life He has given to us. That Life is now being lived out in us by the Holy Spirit. This Life of the Kingdom is radically different that the life we are accustomed to living in concert with the world. One of the main marks of a true follower of Jesus Christ is that there is change and ongoing change in us by the Holy Spirit. We do not remain as we once were. The Holy Spirit is conforming us to the Image o...

  OUT IN THE OPEN God has not hidden what He has done to redeem humanity. He offers us the only way of true repentance, faith, forgiveness of sin and a new life that is unending. Truth is, though, He never forces repentance, faith, forgiveness and a new life on anyone. He desires a relationship, not the programmed responses of humanoid AI. His love for us has exposed the utter ruin of humanity because of our rebellion and sin. He doesn’t want us to be deceived into thinking that at the end of our lives here on earth we will all get a “participation trophy”. We have all personalized and internalized our rebellion against God. Humanity’s rebellion against God can be shocking horror or the civilized folly or relying on our broken moral compass to bring ourselves back into a state of wholeness. We want to be the ground of truth. We want our emotions enshrined and worshipped by all. The root problem is that humanity is spiritually dead and separated from Life, Himself. Both pride and ho...
