 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!

  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...
  PSALM 119:132 “Turn to me and have mercy on me, as You always do to those who love Your Name.” Here is the cry of an understanding heart. The Psalmist is acknowledging that life in all its fullness, the life God intends for us to live out here on earth is only found by God’s pursuit of us, His turning to us that we might turn to Him. The Psalmist knows that “Salvation is of the Lord.” He cries out for the Lord’s mercy to cover Him. He acknowledges that those who know the Lord, those who are known by Him and who love His Name, always find God’s mercy and grace to live out the life that God commands. God provides the wherewithal to do what He has commanded. He gives us the indwelling Power and Person of the Holy Spirit to BE Life within us. It is the Holy Spirit who conforms us to the Image of Christ Jesus. It is the Holy Spirit who perfects in us the obedience of Jesus. It is the Holy Spirit who makes God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven. He enables us to cooperate w...
 UNDERSTANDING GOD'S MERCY Matthew 13:58 “ And so He did only a few miracles there because of their unbelief.” I have heard it said that somehow the power of the Holy Spirit working in and through the Lord Jesus Christ was somehow limited by the unbelief of the folks in His hometown of Nazareth. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Nothing limits the power of God nor His grace give to sinners to redeem, heal, and restore them to God. What we see is the mercy of God towards broken people. He will not reinforce unbelief. If someone refuses to believe who Jesus Christ is and what He has done, the Lord in His mercy will not reinforce that unbelief by manifesting His healing and delivering power upon the one who does not believe. Otherwise, we broken humans might come to think that we can get from God what we want because we want it, not because we have surrendered our lives to Him in faith. Christianity is not refined paganism where we get God to do what we want because we h...
