HUMANITY CANNOT!

 If you read or watch or listen to the news there are many stories of government bodies and legislation trying to pass laws to save humans, animals, and the environment from one thing or another. Some are good laws but in the big picture, they are not going to completely save this world in general.

Many people also advocate saving humans, animals, and the earth through education. Now again education can be good and helpful but in the big picture, education cannot completely save this world in general. 

So now I might sound jaded but we must ask, "What is the most important thing that must be saved in this world?" It would be the souls of mankind. 

This morning I was reading Matthew 19:23-26 which is addressing saving people. Jesus was telling his disciples that it is hard for a rich person to enter Heaven. The disciples were then shocked by hearing this and asked Jesus who can be saved? In verse 26 Jesus answers them, "With man this is impossible." Clearly, Jesus is telling the disciples that humans have no ability or power to save themselves from the sin that Has infected this now fallen world.

Now here is the upside to lift your spirits. In the last half of verse 26 Jesus gives us hope when He says, "but with God all things are possible." Now the ending of the story is Jesus made it possible for mankind to be saved by taking our sins to the cross to pay a debt we could not ever pay. Now to seal the deal Jesus rose from the tomb to give us eternal life.

Now to add to the sweetness of what Jesus did for us He also will redeem the animals, and the earth, and make a new Heaven for us. I have not heard of a better deal to save mankind than what Jesus did for us. Put your faith in Jesus Christ to save you from your sins because you will not be saved by education or another government law!

POISONING THE FRUITS OF THE HOLY BIBLE

  The Holy Bible has many beautiful truths within its pages and the most wonderful story in the world of how a loving and gracious God came from Heaven to Earth to save us from sin and ourselves.  What I have seen that saddens my heart is when men and women distort the Bible's precious truths. Sometimes they play mental gymnastics with a rubicon of verses to put together their own view of a topic and make the Bible appear to support their side. Both the liberal and conservative Christians do it and even those who are not even believers play this game. People who want all answers to life and faith but only from the Bible are some of the most toxic and unhappy people I know. Where is their Christlike love? Jesus dealt with this kind of mindset in his mortal time on earth and they were called Pharisees. We must be willing to take the Bible as it is written and what the writers led by the Holy Spirit meant. We must be authentic and transparent. Some things in the Bible are uncomfortabl

WHAT VOICES ARE YOU LISTENING TO?

  Since the internet entered our homes and social media dominates the culture of the world we as a human race have rapidly lost our humanity in many ways. People are so vicious to one another and it is so sad to see how narcissistic we have become as a species. I am often balancing what I read and what I listen to so I do not become toxic and filled with false understandings and beliefs. So it is very important to consider just what voices you are listening to and what voices are you reading. What is the mindset of the people, shows, and music you are allowing into your life? We need to be more alert to not allowing trash into our minds, ears, and eyes. Let us not become a landfill for society's useless trash. If you let garbage in soon it will be garbage out. What is most in your heart will eventually come out the mouth both spoken and written. Matthew 15:18-20

ELECTION YEAR 2024! OH BOY!

Yes, folks, it is an election year and of course, both parties believe they are going to save the world. Sorry, but Jesus Christ already did that some 2000 years ago. Now the other fun fact about this is every election year it is a Chicken Little story all over again, which is the sky is falling if the Republicans get into office, and the sky is falling if the Democrats get into office. This reminds me of how news on the weather is nowadays. There will be one inch of snow coming which is the great white death from above so stock up on everything. The exaggeration from political parties and the news is absolutely off the charts in this day and age. Gone are the Walter Cronkite and Tom Brokaw days of newscasting.   Social media can be used for good and even to spread the gospel message but also it can perpetuate lies and deceit. I hope it is used more responsibly than what I have been witnessing.  So back to politics and voting, I would say do your best to try and find reliable informati
