CAUTION, this article may offend most nominal Christians – but it is imperative to inform my readers that the rapture of the church and the following Great Tribulation lies in our immediate future. As it is (and I think you’ll agree) we are living in the perilous times the bible speaks of with people at their wit’s end trying to figure what in the world is going on – never thinking of calling out to God or reading their bibles to find out why humanity is in extreme distress. In fact, there are those who don’t believe in God at all. Incredibly, some of these people are vying for cushy government jobs in government, people that are outright criminals and certified nut jobs, people that should be in mental institutions or prison (but certainly not in Government) This -while confusion and despair reigns among the young.
Despite having full instructions from God on how to live our lives in the bible, we humans almost always chose to go it alone in life, relying on our own inclinations and desires. Life would be so much easier to do things Gods way rather than leaning on our own understanding.
Jesus is the fountain of truth – we can go there and drink deeply of His living water. A prime example of this is his admonition, “Whatever you do – do in moderation” maybe then we wouldn’t be so fat, or hungover to live a vigorous and exciting life. The same goes for sex, which is something we can become consumed by, since the urge to merge is the greatest and most powerful urge in the world. Thus, by following the bibles admonitions and instructions we can avoid everyday pitfalls. However, we always seem to follow the path of least resistance – don’t we? It’s normal to do so.
There are many perversities in the world which reside in the incredible mind of man, the little but big universe of the brain (the mind and brain are to different things – but for the sake of brevity I won’t expand on this subject in this short article.) In my book review I will go into detail about how and why human thought is almost always faulty. In the storehouse of human logic, the trash of human thought resides – a festering pile upon pile of stupid human thought, presupposition and faulty assumptions rule the day. Many expositors of these manmade thoughts and ideas are dead wrong about the things of God simply because they’ve not read the bible.
If a person were to wipe the slate clean of human thought and replace it with Godly prerogatives, we would see that Gods ways of living life are much better than trying to live life on our own without instruction from Him. The best example of this is to love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength – and your neighbor as yourself. Still, we continue to war against one another, to lie, steal and cheat one another and to want their “Stuff”. Then on our inevitable deathbeds saying, “what a waste of time” while holding tightly to a fistful of dollars.
Life is short and we should make the best of it and die with a clear conscience toward our Creator expecting Him to welcome us home with open arms and a smile on his face. Better we had done what he asked from the beginning.
While it’s fun, to live an exciting life apart from God it is detrimental to good mental and physical health, to say nothing of the eternal spiritual impact on your very life. Human life is never ending, as we go on through eternity – so make the right decisions based on the bible -beginning today.
