God is not weak of mind, lounging on special fluffy pillow clouds above, a roly poly Santa Claus God, weak in old age so as to need you and me.
His “Plan of the Ages” did not convene a consultion for you to help Him! He does not ask you,
“Hey – What do you think, Joe…?
Jane, What should I do?
What you think?“
Throughout the centuries He has had it written down for us. We can know. Have you looked… to know?
He told us what He thinks. He has decided His Way. I’ve asked myself:
“Who do you think you are, anyway,
to question God Almighty?“
It is what it is – and it behooves us to deeply respect and honor Him by accepting all that Jesus Christ, the Godman, is and does.
Who are you Following?
Excerpt:
“You are a mere man, a created human, living-out your days on God’s earth until He then deigns to call you up front in His Court to His Throne of Judgement, and says to you:
‘What did you do with my Son, Jesus?’”
– Source: Following Someone
He will not ask you what you think. He might not ask you anything. He knows you. Your heart is bare open.
* See the Parable of the Landowner in Matthew 21:33-41
When your end comes, maybe your whole life will flash before you in an instant, and you will stand there in horror… confounded, condemned, with all your sin unForgiven.
“It’s – all on you.” You’ve chosen not to accept Him. Why is that?
Why should God let you into His Kingdom?
FOR MORE:
Are you perhaps slip-sliding away into a thinking where you matter most? And God doesn’t? Got a mental attitude where you think God should ask you for your opinion? Like, God should say to you, “Hey! What you think, man?”
__________
This hope we have and what this hope does
Living the good life with courage and confident hope
Romans 8:25-28. Hope in Christ
We are in God’s era of hope – grace, love, and forgiveness in Jesus’ Name
What God has told us…what He thinks
What Jesus taught…is what He think
Who do you think you are, anyway?
That moment of IF when you choose your own thinking
If we do not think like God Almighty thinks
It really is Eternity at stake here
Specific salvation parameters Jesus absolutely requires
What matters Excerpt: What you say you believe, will someday be examined by God Himself – in His Court. And what you “say“, and what you say you “believe” — will reveal itself by what you actually have done. We are not saved by what we do, but the sincerity of our heart is revealed to God by what we do. Are you tare or wheat? See Matthew 13, verses 24-43.
When it comes to God, who wants mere opinions?
Getting down to God’s meaning…He does not ask you for your help
Your thinking or God’s Word?…What matters
Galatians 6:7
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.
Why we should fear God Almighty
Fearing God with awe-filled reverence…deeply respect and honor Him
God Damned “Believers” Excerpt:
Scripture teaches us that without Christ all of humankind is unworthy of coming into God’s Kingdom – because they do not meet up to the standard of His Holiness.
It is too easy to just do what we think is “okay” – a la Judges 21:25.
In those days there was no king in Israel;
everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
– Judges 21:25
Arguing with God?
In that final day, no one will stand before God and argue. Now is the time to do all the arguing and investigating – and be assured of our righteous standing before God. After death – it is all too late. He gives us this one shot, here on earth, during this period of frail humanity –
What it is when Hell is yours…unForgiven….
The Seed of the Word was sown. What happened to yours?
A God Damn Excerpt: The Santa Claus god
…many today want a belly laughing “ho ho ho”, roly-poly Santa Claus god. This modern day god:
has no predilections, no predispositions, and never gets upset with anything we do or ask for. This god goes with the flow. This god of ours accepts it all, whatever we want. He has no bias, no prejudice against anything. He has no fixed, predetermined intolerances. What you are, whatever – he’s down with that! This “Claus God” has been created for our convenience.
We fool ourselves so easily. Anything we kind of like, or really like, or really really are into… is fine with our “Claus God”. It’s easy to follow this “god”. Claus has no limits on us!
The ultra extreme unresolvable horror upon arrival for Gods condemnation…you will stand there in horror…confounded, condemned, with all your sin unForgiven.
One thing you lack Excerpt:
Jesus is inviting you to come into His Kingdom. Forever! Imagine how exotic and opulent – His Place? Is that exciting – or what!? I’m looking for that! THAT’s where I want to go. I’m ready. Jesus saved me
Are you en route, already declared “set free”!? Freed from a righteous “God Damn”? Are you looking for that day when He takes you home?
Or not? What else, for you, is so important? Why would you neglect so great a salvation in Christ and refuse the offer of such a great and gracious, awesome God? What siren on earth has captured your heart and enslaved you?
The one-off offer Jesus makes to everyone
Salvation in Christ is beyond huge
Different reactions to God’s work on earth in believers
I biblically tut these apostate imposters
The many hardhearted mind closed…who have rejected Jesus
Can Jesus forgive you? Excerpt: Are you walking dead, deep in sin, too far gone for God to care? How sinful can one be – and yet be forgiven by God?
You’ve chosen not to accept Him. Why?…so you have made your choice. Excerpt: At least you heard. You have knowledge about Jesus. You may even “like Jesus“. Jesus is offering you eternal life. But you’ve chosen not to accept Him. Why is that?
Betting your eternity on your thinking
You plant your life so carefully and put a fence around it
Those who are people of faith…clinging to your faith about God
It is bare open…Your heart is not private to Him.
Are you disturbing to God? Excerpt: Are you perhaps disturbing to God? Really. Is He disturbed with you? Have you fallen into sin lately? That’s not a place I want to stay in.
Excerpt from Being pleasing
Resist the roaring lion
I resist the roaring lion who wants to eat me up (1 Peter 5:6-9): I make positive life choices, and I avoid living in ways that displease God. Makes sense, right? However, it’s not an easy road
Following Someone Excerpt: So sad to think of it. Unfathomably horrifying, what will be the experience of so, so many “so-called” Christians on that momentous day, when, in person, they face Creator God of the Universe, and He says to them,
“Depart from Me – I never knew you.”
– Matthew 7:23
The rich mindset of God…not weak of mind
What you think and practice as compared with what Jesus thinks…who’s in charge here, eh?
Are you concerned about your relationship with Jesus?
God hears us and wants us to approach Him with sincere and honest prayer
We are the odd creature, are we not? Excerpt: Got it made in the shade!? All is well? Seeing clearly these days? Think so?
Odd how some can…
Odd how some can
commit so fully to their soul mate, but not to Creator God who made them (Genesis 1:26).
Odd how some can
commit to a particular faith-to-die-for, without straining it for all it’s worth; make sure it’s pure and logical. They’ll even die for whatever.
Odd how some can…
Who do you think you are, anyway?
Who in Hell do you think you are?…down there?
You’ve got mail! A message from God the Father
Kevin Costner says refocus, recalibrate, take stock, remember the message of Christmas
Is this you? Excerpt: …conduct becoming of a true, maturing Christian.
A somewhat lengthy study of 1 Thessalonians 5
A truly Gospel-centric Christmas
Blessed by forgiveness by The Hand of God our Savior
Long before His birth prophets spoke of Jesus the Messiah…predicted long before
The Wonder of the Birth of God…God came down to earth
Why we all need Jeus…we all need salvation in Christ. He is the One to provide salvation
Why we should fear God Almighty…souls lost in sin will be lost forever
Holy Father, Lord of All Excerpt: Sitting here before you Lord, my Holy Father, Lord of All, I’m so aware that I’m not holy….
It’s all or nothing – 100%
Being 100% given-over to Jesus – 100%
God Is Asking You To Repent – 100%
Being faithful, little by little
This is natural for us so put it on
God hears us and wants us to approach Him with sincere and honest prayer
My simple frequent practice of repentance
In this moment right now Jesus makes me perfect Excerpt: How long to get perfect?
When I pray and confess – it happens. In an instant. In this moment – right now – Jesus makes me perfect. He removes sin quicker than a flash. That is how Almighty God forgives.
Only my God Jesus makes me perfect in this moment Excerpt:
PIC: inner-and-outer-man-struggle. Equip.org
I bow my heart again this day….
Make me perfect in this moment.
Forgiven, cleansed
made perfect in Jesus.
I know that I can’t stop sinning
without the power of your Spirit in me….
The dead calm as your journey ends
The Seed of the Word was sown. What happened to yours?
Many are invited but few are chosen
Jesus saves and Jesus condemns
Better is thinking with God’s Word
Get on God’s side – and be in the Truth
What Jesus gives to sinners like me and you
It really is Eternity at stake here
