When I turn on
the radio all I hear is crackle, a squelch of garbage as it pollutes and
populates the listener’s brain. Climbing into my car I turn the key and then I
scan through the various channels waiting for something to catch my attention
and only then will I lock in the receiver station. Over time my desired needs
have certainly shifted in regards to what I will and won’t listen to. I no
longer am draw to the music channels that once drove me as I am now far more
interested with the intentions and drives of those around me. Talk radio is
where I normally land. God created us with a desire to communicate. In the
beginning, whenever that was in relation to our understanding of the calendar,
on the “sixth day”, approximately roundabout six thousand years ago God created
man with a coherent desire to interact; this was such an obvious consideration
that God acted on His observation; “The
man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every
beast of the field. But for Adam there was
not found a helper fit for him.” (Genesis 2:20)
The Bibles
genealogy gives us an understanding of mankind’s history. However there are
those that insist that we (mankind) were around much longer than that. Whose
voice will you believe? This is the root of where we will all land in eternity.
Depending on what source we look to draw from, either way, it will drive us
towards a certain end. Regardless of the opinionated voices out there, myself
included, God will have the final say and you better believe it! Regardless of
peoples assumption pertaining to God’s eternal plan, those persuasion will
never influence the final outcome, heaven or the Lake of Fire! So very little
thought is given for the will of God and His purpose that it’s beginning to
sicken me deep within the recesses of my soul with a nauseating thought of the
blind leading the blind and both then falling into the ditch.
In the
“beginning”, God instituted His brilliance through creation with an
accompanying command; “go forth and multiply” under the banner of marriage.
However not only is marriage becoming a thing of the past but the way in which
God’s command has been negated as the world now allows same sex marriages and
the like; men with men and woman with woman, with Hollywood shaping our minds
and perceptions on the matter as normality. I see the similarities of Sodom and
Gomorrah now becoming a way of life for so many. And we all know what happened
to that city and its inhabitants, the wrath of God found them out! Although I
have highlighted a particular topic and only because it is current, there are
others exclusion that are ignore across the board when it comes to the will of
God. It is obvious that mankind professing to be wise have in fact shown
themselves as fools. It would also be foolish of me to exalt myself above
others when in fact I too have made countless mistakes throughout my lifetime;
however the key to our blunders and how to handle them is confession and seeking
out God’s forgiveness for our folly and not to turn a blind eye to the error of
our ways. Repentance is to turn from sin and towards a merciful Father. God is
merciful, “for all those who cry out unto the Lord will be saved”, but there
will come a day when that door will be shut and then all havoc will unfold, as
God’s wrath and His judgement is poured out upon all of His enemies; history
has given us an indication of God's wrath, just look at what happened to the
Egyptians, those who opposed God and Moses. The final outcome will eventually
result in the earth destruction. Another typical clue that should be easy for
the Christian to understand, the world trying to save the planet to the
exclusion of God purposes in their lives; serving the creature (planet and all
that God has created) but denying its creator.
There is a lot
of negativity I have honed in on, or so it may seem for some, but only for
those who do not treasure the Bible, however every thought which I have penned
is true in accordance with the written Word. The only decision you have to make
is whose voice will you obey; God the creator of the universe or those who
oppose Him, the created. We will all make our decisions; I have made mine and
through this blog have recorded what I believe and where I stand. We all make
judgments through our lifetimes on every facet in our lives. Some good while
others are appalling and yet if we turn to the Lord Jesus Christ it will end
well for us. From kinder garden to a retirement home we will be drawn into factions
that complement our particular persuasions. Birds of a feather flock together
and yet at times we often see differing species habituating the same area.
Heaven will only be habituated with believers in Christ! The unbeliever will
spend perpetuity in a smouldering blaze of torment for eternity.
Everyone has
their own agenda’s and only those whom we find with like minds will be drawn to
us. Cliques and splits throughout society is a very common scenario.
Nevertheless I am still drawn to so much of the opinionated trifle that is
aired over the radio and I find myself eating with both hands. This is where
politics draws its strength from, parties find like minded people with promise
of change attached to their voices and this draws in their supporters, like a
fish to a baited hook. Sadly many parties are more talk than action and this
leaves their supporters with complaints and hence the talk radio stations are
kept alive.
And then I read
and spend time in the written Word of God, the Bible and I am settled and
reminded of the hope I have in Christ, praise His name now and forever more,
Amen and Amen!
