CONSIDER THE ALTERNATIVE
Once people invest in a certain ideology, philosophy, or religion and accept it as truth and begin to adhere to the principles of those particular constructs they abandon any alternatives to them.
Please understand that we all fall short and none us will ever measure up to the standard that Jesus Christ himself lived and died to preserve. It is only because of his sinless life and innocent bloodshed that we are admitted into heaven. Our own merit could never pay the price to enter into heaven’s celestial city and dwell eternally in the unhindered presence of the Almighty God and Father of our present creation. Jesus is the Author who wrote the book concerning the faith we follow and he is certainly the one who will finish the last chapter of our lives.
Unfortunately many have succumbed to the ideas, philosophies, and religiosities of this present age and do not adhere to the unadulterated truths which can transform us into the image of Christ as we adapt our minds to the renewing power of the illuminating word of God. The bible consists of 39 Old Testament and 27 New Testament books enriched with history, illustrated templates of human behavior, and rich spiritual enlightenment for the spirit of mankind. One cannot reason the magnificence of creation without honestly admitting the really of intelligent design. There is only way that could humanly be possible; which would be through the blindness of carnality and the deceptiveness of sin.
The bible teaches us that the temporary god of this world; the self-exalted spiritual being who was named Lucifer who comes to deceive through false illuminated has blinded the eyes of literally billions of people. Today it is evident to any Christian who adheres to the word of God in word and in deed that we see the masses clinging to lies which call evil good and good evil. The veil of sin has blinded them lest they should receive the truth and be saved from their sins.
We have the human reason of psychology which has infiltrated the church demeaning the spiritual principles which lead to absolute freedom in and through Christ. The world cannot truly heal itself through carnal principles which are centered on the wisdom of the world. Christ stands in opposition to any reason that denigrates his truth. The world seeks happiness which is based upon what is happening and do not understand the joy of the spirit which is based upon a relationship which is innermost and intimate and so connected to the spirit that it is unshakable in whatsoever situation or circumstance one finds themselves. God is relative in that he is the umbilical cord of spiritual and soul life which cannot be severed by the world or its deception if one is firmly connected by their faith to him. He declares that we much indeed believe he “is” and that he “is” a rewarder of those who diligently seek and cling to him. Without love for God there is no faith in God that substantiates us; faith works through the power of love.
Our response to the “cancel culture” of the presence age is to get them to consider the alternate to their uninhabited by God mentalities or anarchy, chaos, hatred, and godlessness. We are seeing the rise of witchcraft in association to politic as an underlying power to achieve the power structure which hates true Christianity. Today we also see a form of Christianity which is virtually Christ-less and certainly Cross-less. Many denominations are Christian in name only but are filled with the reason, philosophy, and culture of the world.
Our response involves consistent illustrative lifestyles that glorify Christ and eschews the mentality of the world. The bible teaches us to have no fellowship (intimate friendship) with the world. It begs the question “what part or fellowship has Jesus with Lucifer”? The implied answer is “NONE”. Yes so many mingle with and mix in with the world’s principles and those who practice them without any regard to ministering the gospel of eternal life to them.
Brethren; let us strive to present to those around us a reason to consider an alternative to their spiritually dead letter philosophies and belief systems. I believe many in the church need to also consider an alternate to their dead letter religiosity too. Let get revived, renewed, and refreshed and witness the word in love and in deed. Selah
Shalom, Agape, & Amen!
