Those days, where you don’t have to even try and everything seems to flow toward rightness.  Had one of those and it was delightful.  Not that I would seek to capture that moment, bottle and repeat it each and every day, but it sure is nice when things work out.  Don’t want to be facetious so I’ll just say that today was excellent because I was working His plan not my own.  The joy in consequence of such activity is that my cup ran over.  I saw three young men of their own volition attend bible study, solid, scriptural-expository preaching, food, fellowship and family fun without compulsion, bribery, only prayer.  Thank You Lord for such things do not happen these days without Your intervention.  I am overjoyed to have been selected as Your ambassador to offer invitation.  May Your Word strike a harmonious chord within their hearts, mind and spirit.  May they surrender to the call of Your grace and find salvation, purpose and remain in the light throughout their days.

On something which may seem totally unrelated, but in fact is perfectly aligned, I have several words of inquiry.  Why must every causality in the world of politics, war, weather and economics be devoid of God’s will as explanation?  For example the Republican party lost this past election and pundits volley every possible genesis for such a failure except that of the most obvious, that the Republican message requires that every member eventually have a discussion about absolute truth, ethics and morality.  And let us face the facts people do not want to talk about GOD.

As God’s Word predicted there has arisen a generation of Americans who do not know the Father, nor do they want to.  Besides, having that conversation with them requires that they have to face the fact of personal accountability for their actions and that God will personally judge those actions.  This is something that the now majority of Americans desperately do not wish to face and they have proven that they will demagogue, insult, threaten, avoid and eventually persecute anyone who suggests that there is an absolute moral code or that there is an enforceable requirement of behavior established, promised and adjudicated by an Almighty, Sovereign authority.

Any person who says keep your hands off my right to have an abortion, cannot know the Father.  Any person who says that it is their God given right to marry someone of their own gender does not know the Father.  Any person who believes that it is okay to have extramarital or premarital sexual intercourse with any and all partners of their choosing does not know the Father.  Any person who pursues money at the cost of the poor, the disenfranchised, orphaned, widowed, foreign or handicapped does not know the Father.  They form churches who warp God’s Word so that they may justify every wickedness.  They form clubs who demagogue believers as intolerant or unloving.  They castigate  Christians who faithfully proclaim God’s commands.  They avoid at all costs or demonize any discussion which rightfully points out that there is only one way to the Father and that is through belief in the life, death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ as propitiation for the sins of mankind.

Yes what I saw today is an anomaly.  Young men, with sharp minds and free will make a choice that not only seemed right to them, but arrived as logical conclusion based on their analysis of the truth of God’s Word and the evidence of this fallen world.  You may proclaim them foolish, but that does not make it so.  You may question their judgment but that does not make it unwise.  You may mock them and castigate them as hypnotized by folly, but that does not diminish their decision.  The truth may be mercilessly bludgeoned, pursued by horrifying enemy and twisted by vile tongues in an attempt to lessen its potential, but in the end the truth prevails in its purity.  This country is suffering so because we will not face the truth of our rebellion to the requirements of our maker.  We are going down the wrong path, because we have asserted our selves as gods or worship false demonic idols.  We continue to practice immorality with abandon and that is the shift in our cultural behavior which has brought loose men into dominion.  We have gotten what we have pursued and we will enjoy or suffer the effects of our pursuits.

God be praised, His Truth is unavoidable, unalterable and eternal.  Not a yot or tittle will pass away though all things fall into the sea.  Jesus Christ is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords and the closer we get to tribulation the louder it will be proclaimed.  in days to come the conviction of many courageous young men will become as impenetrable as the armor of God.  I pray that God reinforce their courage, resilience and steadfast pursuit of righteousness and truth.  For there are only two sides.
