SO PANDORA'S BOX IS OPEN, NOW WHAT???

With the opening of Pandora's Box, what are we to do?  Stand and look at the box of evil and its contents being spilled out like a calf looking at a new gate totally shocked and offended?  How offended are we?  Or how apathetic do we choose to be thinking this is bad, surely this is not going to get worse so I will just sit and wait.  Our walls of spiritual sensitivity have begun to grumble because we think shoring up the walls with complaints will strengthen them.  What offensive action are we willing to undertake?  Or do we just give a new sheet of music to the present day NEROS and encourage them to fiddle on?  What in the world do we do with songs like ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS MARCHING AS TO WAR? Surely we are not foolish enough to think that any election of a man or a woman is going to change the appetites of lust, greed, murder, and abuses of one another!  

My suggested strategy is the same as the strategy Paul commanded in Ephesians 5:18, "Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.  With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints."  Soldiers, we cannot continue to so focus on our own personal battles that we loose sight of the COMMANDER we serve and HIS high priority.  We must fight the good fight of faith.  We are in perilous times, but a precious reminder comes to my thoughts, "Where sin abounds grace much more abounds!"  Let's cry out to God in these desperate times for His mercy and grace and be willing to give the reason for the HOPE that we have in Christ Jesus.  May we become Grace dispensers who are bold prayers for HIS kingdom to come and HIS will to be done here on earth as it is in Heaven.

THOSE SEEING CAN BECOME BLIND

Image
John 9 is the story of the healing of the blind beggar.  Not only is it a marvelous story of the miraculous healing of the man as he is given his sight, but a sad story of the religious of whom Jesus said, "For judgment, I have come into this world, so that the blind will see, and those who see will become blind ." The religious have seen the miracle, even though it has taken place on a Sabbath, and they interview the man and his parents for their stories and understanding. I find it so thrilling that the healed man speaks so articulately and logically with the religious in their "interview" with him.  His statement, " Now that is remarkable!  You don't know where HE comes from, yet HE opened my eyes.  We know that God does not listen to sinners.  He listens to the godly man who does His will.  Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. If this man were not from God, He could do nothing." What truth he has spoken to the religious wh

REHEARSALS

  I wonder how much time do I give to rehearsing God's goodness and how He has intervened in my life to "save" me from myself?  How alike the Israelites I can be, complaining about what goes wrong, how it affects me, and what I lack.  As a Christ follower, I have the Indwelling Holy Spirit to give me remembrance NOT of my complaining and grumbling, but of a recall of God's faithfulness to me.  It is recorded in Psalms 78 and 106 that " They forgot what He had done, the wonder He had shown them", "They did not remember His power--the day He redeemed them from the oppressor...", "They did not remember Your many kindnesses, and they rebelled by the sea, the Red Sea.", "But they soon forgot what He had done and did not wait for His counsel.", and "They forgot the God who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt...". Contrast with me, God's remembrance: Ps. 106:44-46, "But He took note of their distress

ORDER AND DESIGN

Image
    I do not have OCD, but I do confess that I like order in my home.  Now that I am retired, I am not so much into spotless, but "picked up" and "kinda" clean. (Do not open drawers and closets!) I might go to more trouble when I know I am having company, but otherwise, I remove the clutter that seems to reproduce on its own.   When I began the reading in Genesis in January, I was again taken with the with the orderliness and design of God in creation, and have seen Him use Moses and Aaron to ORDERLY marshal the Israelites to move out of Egypt. How do you move some 600+ males and that is not even wives and children? Animals also?  They have been one year+ out of Egypt, and have been camped at Mt. Sinai where God has given them laws for their spiritual and physical welfare.  God gives Moses the design of the Tabernacle and Moses is able to bring together the workers to complete the Tabernacle.   The clip art at the top is the positioning of the 12 Tribes and the
