Guards with guns! To be
or not to be seems to be the week’s conversation. We have an inherent defensive
instinct that is hardwired into our psyche. It’s not something that we have
intentionally processed; it happens, and we are driven to “fight or flight.
" The flavour of the month seems to be all about the apocalypse, or a time
linked to the “Badlands” or “Mad Max. " The end is coming, and it will be
barren and tough. It is obvious Hollywood does not reference the Bible as a
point of reference to drive them to production. However, we are either in one
of two camps, the camp of light or darkness.
Even if you are unaware of your standing, I can assure you, based on
scripture that the only true God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the great
I AM is your father, the father of light or Satan the devil is your father, the
father of sin and darkness.
We all stand in one of
two camps. Some might believe that they are good people, but sadly there is no
good person, we are all sinners and in breach of the law of God. We are born
children of the dark, why do we understand this? Satan is the father of lies; ask yourself this question will a liar tell you the truth if it will thwart
their plans?
We need to come into
the light and call upon the name of Jesus, without any ulterior motive or
misguided cries rooted in selfishness; I have witnessed so many of them. It's
not about financial gain or anything that places your wants above the will of
God the Father. This will take a lifetime to unpack and integrate into our
lives. I was saved (I came to the light, cried out to Jesus and asked him to
forgive me for my sins and believed that he was the only one who had it in his
power to forgive me) in 1987, and having a lifetime filled with joy and
disappointment is how it has panned out. However, once you understand that God
has called your name, saved you from certain judgment and given you a hope
that is almost impossible to articulate to someone who still walks in darkness, the offer remains open to all: call upon the name of Jesus and ask for rescue.
Do you need rescue? I most certainly do…
All those who choose to
reject salvation in and through the finished work of the cross, love darkness
more than light and the reason they do not come to the light is because their
deeds are full of evil. This is not a truth I have conjured up; “And this is
the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness
rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does
wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works
should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so
that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”
(John 3:19-21)
Grace, peace and love
to all those who confess Jesus as Lord
