"
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax
cold.
24:13 But
he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."(
Matthew 24:12-13)
Our
world has been invaded by blatant evil once again. The news is filled
with the Corona Virus that spread from China to all over the world.
Many believe that it was used as a bio-weapon to push this world
closer to a One World Government.
Then we read about how this
Ebola virus has spread over all Western Africa and has threatened to
become a pandemic over the entire world. Lately, this “mutated”
disease has come to America’s shore and the citizens were worried.
Now I’m not into conspiracy theories, but it is being reported that
this new form of Ebola is not a natural occurring phenomenon, but a
man-made,( in the laboratory), form of a biological weapon and tested
on the unsuspecting African people. Just similar in the exposure
of the world to the Covid 19 and the disastrous vaccine that has
killed many people soon after taking the “jab”.
That
experiment has gone awry and it has spread exponentially and
mistakenly brought to the USA. Or was it a mistake? Then a reported
hastily made vaccine that could kill more people than it will
protect. The only thing that stands in the way of a one world
government and a one world religion is the citizens of the USA and
their guns, which comprise what is left of freedom in this world and
the policing with military might of despotic rulers that wish to rule
the world. What an evil thought, if it be true, that someone would
use a deadly disease or a vaccine to bring panic, death, and martial
law to the only obstacle in their path for complete rule over the
earth. I wonder with just these two instances of the diabolical
intent of someone in a leadership position to impose their will on
the population of the USA, and the world.
It
has been reported and I’m not saying it’s true, but we’ll keep
ours eyes and ears open to any possibility of an attack or treason on
the American people. However, I would not be surprised if this
were true, as I remember the stories of syphilis being introduced
into the black population of the USA, just to see what it’s effects
would be on this minority community. Many untold black men and women
died as a result. Or how about the military using our own soldiers to
test the effect of radiation during the development of the atomic
bomb in the Marshal Islands, and in New Mexico? Again, unsuspecting
guinea pigs called our soldiers were exposed to deadly radiation and
died as a result. Would our government do such a thing? In times
past, they have done the aforementioned atrocities to their fellow
men, in the name of science and military warfare. Would someone in a
position of authority or a group of elites also release Covid 19 on
the citizens of the USA to further their plans on world domination?
History tells us, there are men that would do such a horrible deed at
the expense of millions dying from it’s release into our
environment. How can such evil exist you may wonder?
RACIAL
HATRED BREEDS DEATH
Then
we, historically had racial tensions in my home state of Missouri where two black
teenagers at different times were shot during a commission of a
crime. One during an assault on a police officer in uniform, and the
other during a burglary robbery where the perpetrator shot at an off
duty policeman doing private security work and was subsequently shot
numerous times during the fire fight. Now the community is all fired
up over police brutality. And it got to fever pitch on the death of
George Floyd and BLM have risen along with Antifa to attempt to
destroy America. They speak of justice for the black community, and
called it police brutality and evil, but the men would not have been
part of being shot, if they had followed the law or not put up
resistance, now would they? Both the acts are evil, if the police
overstepped their bounds in enforcing the law or lets say, the two
teens who were committing crimes against law enforcement during the
commission of a crime. Their acts would be deemed evil. It seems to
me, that the world as we know it, is falling apart. There is no
social right or wrong, just the evil expressed by evil men with only
one thing in mind….power over other men.
I have heard
the outrage, the expressed horror of people of this nation in
national news coverage of death over Covid 19 or in Missouri over
police actions, and on the internet over this Ebola scare or the
death of George Floyd by police that rail out in raw emotions asking
why when they ask, “why would a God, if there be one, allow this
type of evil in our world?". Could
not God have intervened and stopped these senseless acts? This
further re-enforces their own preconceived notions that there is no
God. Instead of looking inward, they express rage outward at the
Creator. They want gun control, they want safety at the expense of
their God given freedoms, or they want the government to take care of
them? They want the 2nd amendment abolished or hack away at our
Constitutional rights from a culpable media using scare tactics to
further the one world agenda. They want to defund the police, even as
crime spirals out of control. They want, they want, they want, but
will never find the answer in themselves. To their question, why does
God allow evil? It is in one word.....LIBERTY. From
the beginning, when God made man, He made him a being of free moral
choice.
LIBERTY VS. JUSTICE
To accomplish this, God gave
men free moral agency to enable us to choose to follow His way and
assist in the development of His image in us, since we cannot be in
His image unless we voluntarily choose to do so. Then the character
is truly ours, as well as being truly His, because it is inscribed in
us as a result of what we have believed and experienced. Humans have
not changed for over 6000 years since the bible was being written
down by men of God who were moved by the Holy Spirit.
It was the same in the day Joshua took the nation of Israel into the
Promised Land that he admonished them: Joshua,
14 “ Now
therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and
put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the
flood,
and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.
15 And
if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom
ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were
on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose
land ye dwell:but as for me and my house, we will serve the
LORD.”(emphasis
mine) (Joshua 24:14-15)
To start, it is necessary to
understand from the beginning of creation, which extends to even the
angels , man was given choice. God is not a dictatorial tyrant,
but a loving God that gave man all the tools to be successful and
told him how to use these tools to insure prosperity both in the
natural and spiritual. After giving the introduction to
how God operates then answer a question with a question, “do you
like your every move being dictated by another person or do you put a
high premium on an individual having the freedom to make decisions
for him/herself”? Of course not, you rebel at the very
suggestion and so it is from creation God knew this and that is why
he created man giving him choice. It comes down to one simple
concept....Liberty.
To not have liberty to choose, then
man is not really free. God in His loving kindness has given mankind
the tools to make proper choices based on God's way, even the laws
that He laid down from creating this universe, this world, and the
very first man. God gave Adam the free moral agency to choose to
follow God's example and follow Him, or to follow another god. God
wants each of us to choose Him above all other influences in this
world. What are those other influences outside of God? Yes, Satan,
the devil. Satan has used the fallen state of man, when he tempted
our first parents with transgressing the commandment of Almighty God.
Satan knows that if he can just divide our loyalties between
following God and following our own lusts, he can destroy man.
FROM
ANCIENT TO OUR MODERN WORLD
Fast
forward from ancient times to a fledging country formed out of
rebellion against tyranny. A nation formed out of man's desire to
choose his own destiny, but in direct submission to the Laws of God.
The young United States of America was formed based on a solid Rock
foundation that was laid as a corner stone to form this nation. The
Rock was the Ten Commandments and the Judeo-Christian belief in the
only God found in their bible. What better choice, but to form a
nation based on clear instructions founded in God's Holy Word?
From
those humble beginnings, God blessed this nation like no other in all
of recorded human history. We had our ups and downs, to include our
wars fought in the name of liberty and freedom to choose.
Liberty
founded in man's right to choose good or evil was what we were
fighting for in our own Civil War and two major wars in this last
century. From those fields of battle, the United States has become
the most powerful force on earth by God's own blessings on a people
who, as a majority, put their trust in the God of our Fathers.
A
NATION ADRIFT
Our
national ship of state has taken a different path in the last 50
years. We have charted a different course other than what we followed
in it's previous 150 years. I propose that our nation began it's
demise starting in 1960s when a loud and obnoxious atheist by the
name of Madelyn O'Hare brought suit against allowing prayer in public
schools. Our own Supreme Court went against the clear historical
underpinnings of what this country was built upon. It violated the
first Amendment to the Constitution by subverting the intent of it's
language. “Congress cannot make a law that favors the
establishment of one particular religion; that
prohibits the free exercise of religion;
or that restricts freedom of speech or of the press, or the right of
the people to gather and engage in peaceful demonstrations and to
petition the government for redress of their grievances. “ We
were given the free moral choice by God to express our freedom OF
religion, not freedom FROM religion.
Why was the Supreme
Court allowed to change the meaning of the law clearly expressed from
our founding fathers? Liberty is the answer. Why did the nation
accept this intrusion into our God given rights? Liberty is again, the
answer.
From there, it has been a slippery slope for the
America that we had known. Children born into this country were
brought up devoid of a knowledge of right and wrong. They didn't need
God, as humans could take care of themselves. I got an email from a
reader that had an interesting quote put on a T-shirt, and it is so
true. The shirt was a question from a student to God. “God why
do you allow our children to be killed in our schools? signed
student......I'M NOT ALLOWED IN SCHOOL. signed God” Is that
not the truth? We kicked God out of our schools and not allowing our
little impressionable children to be taught the existence of God, to
be allowed to pray for His blessings, or to bring them to a knowledge
of good vs. evil. Instead we have replaced it with paganism in the
form of evolution theory, humanism, and liberalism.
From that
deplorable beginning forced on us by a pagan, we progressed even
further down into the pit. In 1973, the Supreme Court in all it's
“divine” wisdom decided Roe v. Wade in favor of legalized
abortion on demand. Why was this allowed?...Liberty! We chose evil
over good in direct conflict with the Laws of God. “Thou shalt
not murder”. We have murdered a whole generation of the
unborn. How dare we complain that we don’t have enough people
working to fund Social Security as we have killed a whole generation
of American tax payers. We murdered children in and out of the womb
and have enforced this slaughter and God allowed it...why? Liberty!
Another culture had the same problem of poor choices of liberty, as
we have experienced found in Jeremiah,
5 “They
have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire
for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it,
neither came it into my mind:
6 Therefore,
behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that this place shall no more
be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley
of slaughter.” (Jeremiah 19:5-6)
These
people were allowed to destroy their children, their sons, and their
daughters in a fiery altar in worship to a pagan god, Molech and we
have done likewise to the god of self, humanism. Why was this so?
Liberty!
LIBERTY
REQUIRES JUSTICE
But
God has a limit to His Holy patience. He gives men the right to
choose, but there comes a time, that liberty produces another product
of that liberty....JUSTICE!! Without liberty there is no justice. To
make good choices based on God's law and His commandments produces
blessings, but to do evil in the sight of God according to His giving
men the right to liberty, there comes a time when justice will be
enacted. It is sure as the sun will shine tomorrow. My friend,
justice is coming.
AMERICA
IN PROPHECY
Isaiah
prophecied of a people in the end of days that would rise to power,
but fall by the sword. It speaks of God's coming judgment on this
nation found in your bible. Many say that the United States is not
mentioned in the bible, but oh, yes, I think it is. It's not
mentioned by name, but by it's symptoms of lawlessness.
"Woe
to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of
Ethiopia: that sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of
bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a
nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their
beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land
the rivers have spoiled!" (Isaiah 18:1, 2)
The
nation described in this text is in dire difficulty with God because
the opening word is judgmental. God says, “Woe,” and
the term always connotes judgment. I believe it speaks of America,
(as I include this quote from another minister), because of the
following reasons:
“1. This
nation has the insignia of wings. Similar
to our national emblem, the bald eagle, with extended wings could be
this insignia. People in other parts of the world
recognize the symbol of America. I list more reasons that
are only a small sampling of the descriptions given us in the bible
that distinctly describes the U.S. from any other nation in the end
time.
2. This
nation is a land beyond the sea. Israel is always the focal point in
Bible prophecy. So the message of warning is directed to a far
country beyond Ethiopia and across the sea from Israel. This
designation eliminates Europe, Asia, and Africa. It eliminates
Iraq where Babylon was because it is not across the sea from
Israel. Instead it is directed to a nation with
outstretched wings across the sea from Israel and America
qualifies.
3. This
nation is scattered and peeled. Scattered here means to be widely
spread out or having great land areas.
4. This
nation is measured. This accurately describes the U.S. with its
counties, cities, and states. The next time you fly across America by
air notice the staked out acres tens of thousands of miles completely
measured and marked.
5. This
nation is a land whose rivers are spoiled. Ecological experts vouch
that this significant prophecy has occurred in our waterways. Isaiah
simply tells us that dreadful judgment will come upon a nation with
outstretched wings, beyond the seas of Israel; a nation with vast
measured land areas and polluted waters. Water tables and aquifers
are polluted with drugs and chemical waste as recent news story
points out.
So
you can see from this prophecy judgment is pending with the word
“woe” being used and no other nation in the end time meets this
description. We are a nation that has rejected God and what is
happening in our country we brought on ourselves. God gave us
choices and we made that choice so we must live with the consequences
of those decisions.” David Lamon, Why God Allows Evil. )
Woe
to the land who calls evil good, and good evil.
“Woe
unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for
light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet
for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and
prudent in their own sight!”( Isaiah 5:20-21)
Woe
to them who embrace clear instructions of the Laws of God, especially
when it comes to human sexuality.
“ Wherefore
God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own
hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
1:25 Who
changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the
creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever.
Amen.
1:26 For
this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their
women did change the natural use into that which is against
nature:
1:27 And
likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned
in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is
unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error
which was meet.
1:28 And
even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave
them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not
convenient;”( Romans 1:24-28)
The
world is rampant with homosexuality and no place is more prevalent
than in the USA, the cradle of Judeo-Christian belief in modern
history. Why is this so? Again, it's Liberty. Young men and women
have grown up devoid of the need for God. They have not been taught
for generations the ways of the Lord. Their parents, their
grandparents have been liberal thinkers. They don't need God, and
their children were not taught so they grew up not needing God, and
believing such lies.
I have met men and women who in
themselves, are good people in all moral aspects, save one. They
profess that they are gay and are proud of it. They believe God will
not judge them as evil, because they do so much other good for
children, or other people. But these same people adopt children to
teach them their perverted lifestyle and our courts allow it by law.
They
ignore the clear message noted above. They feel God will ignore this
one indescretion. Will God ignore this sin? No, or God would be a
liar and we know He cannot lie. He would have to apologize to Sodom
and Gomarrah if He did so. Why have they chosen to go against the
laws of God clearly stated? Liberty! God has given them over to their
own selfish lusts and blinded them to the truth of His Word. Why?
Because they have believed the lie of humanism and believe they are
just as righteous as the next person. God turned them over to a
reprobate mind to believe such lawlessness. Woe to a land who
embraces such sinfulness, as we have.
Woe to this land who
from the beginning was endowed by our Creator with “life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness.” Woe to a nation who forgets their
Benefactor, the source of life, their strength, and their national
resolve to follow Him. For fifty eight years since 1963, the USA has
wallowed in the mire of its own self interest devoid of
accountability to the One who made us great......Almighty God, in
whom we said “In God We Trust.” We were given so much, but those
given so much, much is required.
Luke
12:4 “for unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much
required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask
the more.”
Exodus
34:14 “for thou shalt worship no other god (that
includes you and me): for
the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.”
We
have substituted the love of money and love of self over the love of
God.
GUARANTEED
DESTRUCTION COMING TO THE USA
Woe
to a nation who stands against the apple of His eye and wishes to
divide His land. In the past, the USA has been a strong supporter of
the nation of Israel. From it's inception, the USA has been at
Israel's side. Troubling policies have come lately of this present
administration, and previous presidents who desired to divide Israel
and it's captial, Jerusalem. My belief, it was the only thing saving
us from certain judgment was being on Israel's side, but no more. God
has been patient and God has given us warning signs after warning
signs of His desire for us to come back to Him. Just as He did other
ancient people who were called to follow His laws, and abide by His
Word.
WHAT
HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST 58 YEARS?
I
remember when President Reagan was in office and at his farewell
address, he mentioned that America was that “shining city set on a
hill” which beckoned to all the world as a source of goodness and
freedom to others who yearned for that freedom. But no more can
America say they are a source that others in the world look to for
leadership, goodness, and freedom grounded in a belief in the moral
standards found in our bibles. No, America has replaced the God of
the bible with pornagraphy, hedonism, paganism, abortion, sexual
perversion of every sort including adultery, homosexuality, and
prostitution and most everything that is Anti-God. We have abandoned
the pillars of our country that it was founded upon and replaced God
as our protector and guardian with a worship of the self, humanism.
We are all about pleasure of the self in anyway that our twisted
minds have envisioned and feel is right in our own mind.
Proverbs
14:12 says,
"There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the
way of death."
Not to be insensitive to what happened in
St. Louis and Fergason, Missouri, but there is a true explanation for
what is taking place not just in Missouri, not to mention all the
shootings we have had in recent years in various schools, but
all over the country with the current leadership we have. I
realize in American society with Democrat liberals being in charge of
our public schools and universities our children have been
indoctrinated to only makes them feel good about themselves. They
call it self-esteem but in the process have redefined it away from it
original meaning. They teach it is a right not an earned
trait one acquires through trial and error or working for it.
There
is no right and wrong and it is whatever they think it is. In
other words, they are taught not to accept responsibility for
themselves but blame it on something or someone else. This is a
huge root cause of the problems in American society. Now
we have a generation of parents (black, white and all races found in
the USA) that have grown up and have children of their own but
this teaching still resonates within their very being.
Whose
fault is that? Of course, it begins at home with the parents. But
where do parents learn it from, their churches? Men and women who
even bother to go to church, entrust their salvation to the
preacher/priest, to a man to tell them how to live their life. They
don't take the time to read God's Word for themselves. They don't
know what scripture says about their choices in this life, and the
liberalism of the Emergent Church that teach ”Prosperity Gospel”
and has dumbed down the masses with a watered down version of the
Gospel. They don't preach the unadulterated Word of God. No, they
preach a “feel good” gospel of man. These churches entertain,
they reach out for more money and they send their congregations home
without clear Bible believing values to instill to their kids.
Never
mind those that don't even believe in God who wouldn't darkend the
door of any church to find God, but those inside are clothed with
their own self righteousness and haven't a clue what righteous living
is all about. Paul mentioned this in Philippians
2:12 to "work out your own salvation with fear
and trembling." Each
of us are responsible to God for our own salvation. And since we
don't know how to obtain the righteousness imparted by God, then how
can we teach it to our kids?
LIBERTY
TO CHOOSE LIFE OVER DEATH
You
reading this sermon, I pray I have hit a cord of recognition in your
mind and in your heart. Can this nation continue like we have for the
last 58 years? I think you know the answer to that one, if you're
honest with yourself, then no, we cannnot. This nation needs a
revival found in the Word of God. It is sorely needed, but has the
judgment of God already begun? Look at the heat wave in SW America,
or the dryness from no rain, wild fires out of control burning everything in it's path, including people's homes, or the sand storms and the lawlessness
that abounds. The bible says that with this God given liberty to do
good or evil, comes justice. God is and will enact judgment and
justice upon this land spreading to all the world. How soon? By the
clouds of impending doom, the signs point to the near future. I
propose that it has already started as our children have grown
lawless and become mentally unstable to even consider doing such an
act as school shootings in the past.
Suicide,
as it's been reported, is the number one killer of the young adults
18-30 years old, surpassing trauma of accidents unintentional, to
suicides of hopelessness found in our youth. This statistic should
make you stand up and say, why? Because of liberty and the right to
choose evil over good. It does not have to be so, if we would have
chosen wisely and followed our heritage of a God fearing nation. But
it comes down to the individual, and by extention to other men who
are given the correct choices for a life well lived. In the end, it
comes down to YOU. Yes, you that are reading these words. You have
the liberty to choose. What is your answer? Will you choose evil or
good? To choose evil, just continue being a sinful human being with
sin inbred in you from birth. It doesn't take any effort on your part
to become evil. Men, by nature are evil. Jeremiah,
9 “The
heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can
know it?
10 I
the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man
according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his
doings.”(Jeremiah 17:9-10)
Man
is instilled with the nature to do evil, who can know it? Meaning who
can understand why men do evil? God knows the reason. He will try
each man and will know what he is made of. You see, God knew all
along that men would give into the evil nature. They couldn't help
themselves. They were born to sin. This sin separates them from the
only Hope they have for living a fruitful life here in the present,
and living for all eternity in the presence of the One who only
wishes to love them. What separates them from God? Sin and evil done
because of liberty to choose. Men have tried to be good in their
moral character. Upright in their thinking and believing they can
save themselves, if they can just be good enough. If you think that,
then you have the liberty to be deceived.
But God had a
plan to reclaim what Satan has stolen. In the Garden of Eden, Satan
won out over man rebelling against the Laws of God, for a time. God
knew that men would NEVER be good enough on their own to enter back
into a relationship with Him. But how could God get rid of the sin
that permeates all of us?
God
in His matchless wisdom knew that it would take a perfect sacrifice
to satisfy what men had done in liberty to sin. It would require
payment for that sin, in justice. Remember, the payment for sin
requires justice. To accomplish this, as no mortal man could redeem
himself, God knew that He would have to become a human being, clothed
in mortal flesh and become that sacrifice in justice to reclaim what
had been lost.
7 “For
scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a
good man some would even dare to die.
8 But
God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much
more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from
wrath through him.
10 For
if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of
his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his
life.”(Romans 5:7-10)
That
was God's plan. He sent His only Begotten Son, which was God in the
flesh to become a servant like unto His brethren. John speaks of Him
in John chapter 1:
1 “In
the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God.
2 The
same was in the beginning with God.
3 All
things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that
was made.
4 In
him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And
the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it
not.”(John 1:1-5)
God's
plan was to perform a blood sacrifice that would satisfy the payment
for sin done in liberty, with justice. To make a choice to
understand, to believe that God did send His only begotten Son to die
for our sins, your sins, my sins is the epitomy of LIBERTY. He
doesn't want your devotion because He forced you to do so. He wants
your love and devotion because you chose to do so.
Can
you work good enough to earn this salvation? No, nothing you can do
can make it right. It's not of anything done as requirement of
mankind's strength and ability, but an act of Grace and mercy given
as a free gift by God to a sinful, mortal individual rotten to the
core with a mark of death upon it's soul. God made is so simple, many
miss this act of faith:
9 “That
if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou
shalt be saved.
10 For
with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation.
11 For
the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be
ashamed.”(Romans 10:9-11)
We
have the liberty to choose. We can choose evil, which is easy. Or we
can realize that we are completely lost and unable to save ourselves.
We can humble ourselves and present ourselves before a Holy God and
accept, by faith, God's provision of His only Son as the
substitution of what we deserved for our liberty to commit
sin...which is death. Hebrews,
12 “Take
heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of
unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13 But
exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you
be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For
we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our
confidence stedfast unto the end;
15 While
it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your
hearts, as in the provocation.”(emphasis
mine) (Hebrews 3:12-15)
Jesus said that “no
man cometh to me, unless the Holy Spirit draws Him, and I will raise
Him up in the last day”.
John 6:44.
We must understand that we cannot do anything good
enough to save our miserable hides. It is not in us, and it is not
our nature. But God sends His Holy Spirit to each of us who will
listen. He won't bang you over the head, but He will speak to you in
a “still small voice”. That is God putting into the spirit within
you that He wants you to come home. Come home to the God, the Only
God who loves you. The God who made you.
God allows evil
because of liberty and if there wasn’t anything but His own way
imposed on us what profit would there be for Him or what glory could He receive but only in and of Himself, nothing genuine. No,
God doesn’t want robots to love Him but he put a heart and mind
within us with the ability to freely serve and love Him if we so
choose with all of that heart and that is the only way He would have
any of us. He is the eternal God and creator and as for

James
4:14: whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is
your life? It is even a vapor that appeareth for a little time, and
then vanisheth away.”
This
life is fleeting. Evil is all around you, drowning each of us if we
allow it to do so. Take that God given liberty and choose today life
over death. Accept the payment for sin in the God/man Jesus Christ
while the invitation is open. It could close without warning.
“For
God so loved the world, that He gave His only Begotten Son, that
whosoevery believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting
life”. (John 3:16)
