You can’t be faithful to God and have an ungrateful heart. Most that don’t believe in God or do believe but choose to hate Him and try to defile Him in all that they do seem to have a childish mindset that God is like a genie that grants wishes. They don’t get what they want out of their life so blame God or think because they make bad choices and have poor impulse control that God does not exist.
The only people who can think this way are those that were not taught spiritual truth. The term is “walking in the dark.” They say ignorance is bliss but in the long run it really is death. Man will be held accountable for deliberate ignorance. God knows if you know something is wrong but choose to do it anyway or when you find something out that you know is true but try to pretend that it’s not and try to blame it on our current liberal propaganda that is obviously destroying His world. I think we were all born with certain inner knowledge, as most creatures, of what to do and what not to do. It is called instinct. Since man is very selfish by nature because of that survival instinct, it is important to temper this selfishness with civility or spiritual training or any kind of civilization would be quite impossible. Sometimes it truly looks like many are completely brainwashed by the low-grade movies churned out by the greedy and depraved. Just cause you watch it on a screen, does not make it real life or anything worth imitating. Man is very easily influenced by others, that’s how we learn. It’s shameful that most of any entertainment that exists in America has so much gratuitous sex and violence instead of instilling values and reinforcing the positive qualities of mankind.
People seem to forget, that much like our earth is being mindlessly trashed, if we are not mindful of how we are raising human beings and treating one another, there could come a point of no return for everything. We are not guaranteed tomorrow, we are not guaranteed the use of this earth, especially if we don’t take care of it. The same goes for others in our lives that are not treated with the love and kindness that Jesus spoke of. This is exactly why He is the truth, the life and the only way.
So yes, I consider myself faithful. How could I not be faithful to someone who loved me enough to die for me?
God’s Children know the victory is already theirs. Never give up, never surrender because we all know that the devil fights you the hardest when he feels you are a worthy adversary!
I always ask this when bad things happen to good or innocent people. People minding their own business, doing the right thing. All I ask is for you to question what is going on today in a real way. Don’t just listen to what I or others have to say about it. Get in a quiet place literally and within yourself and think about what the problem really seems to be and ask God what you can do to make a difference for the better.
I would venture to say that the majority of people live for themselves and live for the day now. I can’t blame them. I have never seen much sense in life or existence as purely haphazard or lived for self. As much as I like things “my way” I know it’s not realistic and it’s actually downright selfish. I know Oprah has been spouting “Living Your Dreams” for many years now, but before Oprah, was someone called Jesus.
Jesus spoke of living abundantly because of Him. In the context he spoke of this, John 10:10, he pointed out how those that came before Him were thieves and robbers. He was not that way, he spoke of the way to live abundantly in the truth and love here and eternally. Most others, even your “Oprahs” or motivational speakers, want something. They want money from us, from anyone and everyone. They want to live in mansions and have the world at their command, not God’s command. Jesus never wanted anything from anyone on this physical plane. He said if you loved Him, to keep His commandments of loving God and loving one another.
Jesus is my inspiration to treat others as I wish to be treated. To not expect any treasures while I am on this earth, but to live according to God’s will and look forward to heaven. I pray everyday to do God’s will and not my own and be lead in the spirit to be able to further God’s kingdom while I am on this earth. Jesus was willing to die to save our souls. God gave His only Son for Us. It is the least I can do.
Repeating the rainbow!
There is definitely something causing problems with the earth and most of this is from man’s industrialization and pollution of air, land and water. We only have one earth and even though yesterday was officially Earth Day, every day should be earth day!
It’s very important that we all be part of the solution instead of the problem and try to consciously refrain from the use of products that harm the environment even if you may have to work a little harder to achieve similar results, like weeding, for instance. You can click on my Green Gardens page for more organic gardening tips.
We had a speaker at my elementary school back in the 1960’s that spoke of all the pollution that was being done at that time and I can only imagine that we are headed towards a point of no return to ever saving this planet one day very soon.
Even more important than problems with our environment are the problems with the hearts and souls of mankind. There was a reason that religious teachings were so important to any civilized society and we are now finding out why. Even a poorly trained dog is hard to handle but a man who is not told the truth may lose his own soul. I made this video years ago when all the talk of global warming started because I thought there was really more important problems that man faced at this time.
Christ, Christianity, church, God, Jesus, Jesus Christ, love
