If the information exists, which it does, to prepare for just about any event why then do very few people open up the books, magazines and websites telling folks how to avoid catastrophe?  Why do people readily engage in philosophical repartee drawing the light to their words or wisdom, pride or foolishness, yet they will not take the necessary time to truly investigate all perspectives?  Have we truly become that lazy that we will not even lift the spoon to our own mouths, accepting our fates as sluggards?  Shall we be spoon fed the biases of those who would slant our views to their own committed doctrines?  Did the Lord command us to be Bereans or am I mistaken in thinking that He ordered ALL Christians to be searchers, reviewers and verifiers of the Truth?  Lethargy has profited from our willingness to pursue the path of least resistance.

We have been told what would occur before it comes to pass in order to establish God’s sovereignty in the mind of men and the provide fuel for faith among believers.  The Lord is outside of time and thus provided us the testimony of future occurrence called the Bible.  It portrays a future that will be openly hostile to Christians, yet we walk as if none of this information is real or worth the read or action.  It commands us to spread the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and to love the unlovable out of obedient and grateful hearts for the salvation we have ourselves been freely given.  Yet “MOST” Americans churches lay fallow, planting nothing but their own buts in well worn seats, chatting about the world and its pleasantries.  We have brought our unholy thoughts, bodies and behaviors before the throne of the Righteous King, oblivious to how HE said that HE views these transgressions.  We have developed rituals, pageantry and programs that mimic true faith but simply and tragically couple us with a world full of pagans who practice the same filthy false displays of phantasmal faith.

The Lord provided all the information necessary to escaping the Judgment to Come.  Will we read it and be educated enough to make the right decisions, choices and actions for the Kingdom?  The Bible states that the Lord provides for “ALL” of our needs according to His Riches and Glory in Christ Jesus.  Will we accept Him as our savior, provider and King or will we continue to pursue the world’s riches and provision as our false security, even when each disaster demonstrates that the proud and rich suffer alongside the poor?  Will We READ Holy Spirit inspired words, so that we may make educated decisions or will we remain inclined to have the seeds of satan’s deception and falsehood planted where verdant seeds of God’s Victory should be growing a grand harvest?

Do you want to know or don’t you?  Your actions are a greater measure of your heart than your words and God sees them both.  Demonstrate that you stand for Christ Jesus by making your life a symbol for those around you to follow.  Tell them about Jesus, even if it gains you persecution, for your loss will be heaven’s gain.  If you will not become educated about Jesus, and stand up for Jesus or do work for Jesus, then how is it that you say that you know Him?  Isn’t Christianity’s greatest reward that we get to have a personal relationship with the Lord Himself, in this world and the next?  How then can we believe and call ourselves part of the Kingdom if we do not cherish and nurture one of its greatest gifts.  How can you know Jesus if you don’t get to know Jesus?  Would He say that He knows you when the time comes to enter eternity?
