Creation and Consequences

Yesterday I talked a little about the Creation of everything. This morning I read the following in the Apostle Peter's second letter. Look at what he says. 

2 Peter 3:3 Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4 They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation." 5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. 6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.

Is this exactly what we hear today or what? I mean, it is a brief overview of the philosophy of our day. Yesterday, I spoke of wise fools; those supposed scientists who show their ignorance by expounding on gigantic holes. 

Peter said that these are willfully ignorant. They are like Fouchie, who think themselves the rulers of the universe, when in reality, they are ignorant of God's grace and ownership. 

Peter never had a science class in his life, but he explained in a tiny space what is going on today. He spoke of the Creation and the eventual destruction of the world by water and fire. 

One thing that I count on is that the the Bible is God's word. I am a simple person. Most would agree to this fact. It is not because I personally believe in the Bible as God's Word, that it is God's Word. I am not so presumptuous. The Bible testifies to its own authority and has proven to be that eternity word of God. So, when a simple person puts simple trust in something eternal, it is actually a wise choice. 

So here is my simple version of what is going on in the world today. We are fulfilling Bible prophecy and headed toward Christ's return. The last destruction will be even more devastating than the Noeic flood that killed all but eight people. The last destruction will kill everybody! None will survive. 

After that the judgment will come. All will be judged according to the deeds done in the body. Those who boasted in their great understanding of supposed science, will enter that black hole that burns with first and brimstone and belches eternal smoke. That smoke will be an everlasting reminder of their rebellion and God's salvation. 

Watch and see if my simple understanding doesn't happen. Check your theology before that day comes, because after it does, the black hole will be your abode.

What Are You Worth?

What are you Worth?  Have you ever thought about what you are worth? In investing circles there is a term used to gauge this exact question, it's called Net Worth. You take all of your assets, like property owned, funds in your bank account, clothes, jewelry, car, etc.. You total all of these things. You then take everything you owe, like mortgage, car loan, and credit card debt, and you subtract these items from the first total. This gives you your net worth. That number represents where you are financially. Most people never stop to think about this number because they don't understand anything about it. They never have two nickels to rub together. They live from hand to mouth and know (or at least believe) nothing will ever change so, they fall into the "daily grind" mentality. Psalm 49 should be a great encouragement to such as these. The sons of Korah write about them. These sons write about all of us. They call all people everywhere to listen to their wisdom. Bo...

The Circumcision Advantage

 What a title right? I'm thinking of Romans 3:1 where Paul asks, "What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision?"  This was always an avoided subject in Sunday school, especially in a mixed class. We didn't use the "C" word. Too wierd.  Paul is bringing up this topic for good reasons. He wants to show that the Jews definitely have had a great advantage during their history. In the next verse he tells one of them when he says, ... "First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the very words of God." The first jew talked to God in person. God chose Abram to be the father of many nations and to bring the blessing of the Messiah to the world. The Old Testament is the story of the Jewish nation. God dealt with the Jews throughout the ages of the time before Christ. They were the chosen. But in all that blessing they ended up crucifying the Messiah.  With all of their advantages the Jews came short of the ideal....

Are You Prejudiced?

For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us ; Ephesians 2:14 In 1967 Detroit exploded in what would be know ever after as, “ The 12th Street Riot ”. As a 14 year old white boy living about an hour from Detroit I was petrified. I didn’t know much about what was going on but I was afraid that my family was going to be murdered. Black people scared me. Why? Ignorance pure and simple. I had grown up in a white community and had never met any black people. There was a black kid in our school but I had never spoken to him. I lived in my own little white world and was happy to do so. My ignorance of the black culture had lead to prejudice and my prejudice had lead me to fear. Prejudice is that decisive determination of guilt or bias that comes before knowledge. One judges before hand. The mind is bent in a certain direction that is impossible to correct. Or seemingly so. God has interesting ways of helping us to face our ignora...
