 WHAT DO YOU HOLD TO BE TRUE?

It has been said that the core of sin is forgetting that God is God, and we are not. We did not create ourselves. We are not the author of our own being. We do not understand what it means to be fully human. Sin has marred human life from the inside out so that we have lost who we are and what life is meant to be. But the hunger to fully become who we are meant to be still remains. It is a voracious hunger and one that cannot be satisfied by anything this world and its ways can ever offer as a solution for that ravenous thirst.

The truth is, that whatever is not from God, of God, is dehumanizing. What the world system presents as the answer will never satisfy that hunger that drives humanity. The ways and means of culture do not fill up the emptiness, they only carve out a deeper cavern in the soul of a person.

There is a sinister plot working to mar and distort the image of God that each human being still bears. That plot against us knowing and experiencing wholeness is satanic in origin as Satan hates humanity because it bears the image of God. Satan is also desperate to keep humanity from seeing and hearing that God knows us, loves us, and has made a way, the only way, for us to be restored back in the relationship which alone can cause us to become fully human again. Satan hates humanity because God has made a way for us to be forgiven for all our sin and rebellion. Satan’s choice to reject God as Life has resulted in him and his fallen angels to be eternally lost but humanity still has an opportunity to be restored to God. That infuriates the kingdom of darkness.

One of the most sinister lies now being foisted on humanity culturally and politically is that God, if He exists, has made mistakes in the lives of many, causing them to be conceived, knit together in their mother’s wombs wrongly. The lie is that being born genetically a male or female is not defining. Satan is working hard to distort even more effectively to distort and destroy the image of God in people through transgenderism ideology. It is attempting to define human life in terms of human sexuality, which is a cheat. Bodies are being mutilated and children are being groomed to believe God made an error when He created them. Young people are being sexualized before they are mentally, emotionally, or developmentally able to discern up from down. They are lied to and are told that any confusion they might feel about themselves is evidence that they are not whom they seem to be.

This aberration is neither scientifically nor medically justified let alone proven to be factual. But anyone from the medical or scientific community who points that out is immediately slandered and accused of being phobic simple because they will not affirm and worship the lies. God has made us for more.

We were created to become fully human in a living, ongoing relationship with the One who called us into being. The only place, the only context where anyone becomes fully human is in relation to God through Jesus Christ. The Lord is the One who gives human life meaning and purpose. He fills the emptiness, satisfies the hunger of the human heart. Sin will never do that. Lies will never lead one into Truth. Jesus Christ came to destroy the works of the devil, dismantle the effects of sin, and to drive the kingdom of darkness away by His Light and Life. I Pray for all who have been deceived and for those who are working hand-in-hand with the deceiver to deceive a whole generation and subject culture to even more distortion and sorrow. Lord, have mercy!

 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...

  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. ...
