As a whole, our global society has developed an unusual way of showing love. The one who is on top of the world - same world is suddenly all out determined to bring them down.
You may recall the Martha Stewart story. She was caught and convicted, thousands far more guilty were not, and yet - had Jesus been the judge, He probably would have said something similar to the court, as He did to the accusers of a woman caught in adultery, about to be stoned according to their outdated misunderstanding of the law of that day.
John 8:7 says - They kept demanding an answer so he (Jesus), stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!”
Interesting and profound, because each of the accusers threw down their stones, turned and walked away, knowing in their hearts that they too were not without their own sin. Don't suppose this is why leaders of our day are eager to abandon and dare mention the word, sin or repent!
Where are Your Accusers
One might say this to be a display of ‘Agape Love’ in action. Perhaps true wisdom at work as, Jesus goes on to share the following in verses 10-11:
“Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?" “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”
Do you like the person looking back at you in the mirror?
Love begins with self, and so another question is, “Do you like the person looking back at you in the mirror?” If we don't love ourselves, how can we begin to love others?
With that said, in defense of the majority unable to love themselves, society is under a powerful oppression for which it is not as familiar as it should be.
Hollywood often makes jokes about the little red devil with horns and a pitchfork, but make no mistake about their bed partner who is as real as the nose on our face - and thousands of celebrities will fall for crimes against humanity as a result of bad life choices, arrested by the global sting operation - 2017 and still busier than ever as of June 2021.
The Power of Positive Thinking
From a personal perspective and reason behind this post, about one week after my second wife asked me to leave the matrimonial home, I received a free gift of the book, ‘The Power of Positive Thinking (FREE HERE).' Surprisingly, it wasn't long before I discovered the profound impact of the words from the song, Amazing Grace, “I was blind but now I see.”
“We are so often under the false impression, a result only of deliberate and demonic indoctrination that the Christian faith is just another religion, when in fact, it is the only faith that can substantiate itself as 'divine,' plus, it came to us by way of forty plus (40+) God inspired authors; all other religions across the world were founded by one man only.”
Until we give up control to be in control, placing our trust in Christ, letting Him lead and direct our steps (Proverbs 3:5-6), we will continue full speed ahead, living blindly to what is actually taking place around us, day in and day out -
- so blind so that one day we wake up wearing masks not needed - locked down without justification - amidst a PlanDemic disguised as a pandemic without evidence to support it - and under rule of a government behind it all, offering nothing but illegal Gestapo enforcement.
God Doesn't Make Junk
By faith alone, "if you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9) - no hoops, no tricks, just faith.
Additionally, Jesus speaks of the devil in John 10:10a that says "The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy." He then finishes John 10:10b with a promise for all who believe in Him, 'by faith alone,' with, "My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life."
In closing, point is, if you should find yourself going through the motions of life, missing life itself … and/or … find yourself not liking the person looking back at you in the mirror, remember, GOD DOESN’T MAKE JUNK, and nothing beats having the inerrant and infallible word of God, knowing it is alive and powerful, in your corner.
Pssst! No perfection needed!
PS:
Invest in yourself! Invest in truth!
Consider the purchase of one or all four Holy Spirit led authored books HERE or HERE addressing 'How & why we must connect with Jesus' * 'Man gives us religion - God gives us truth' * 'Lesson to live by' (powerful on grace & gratitude) * and 'Super hero's for Jesus' as a grass roots learning tool - awesome for children as well as new Christians.
I thank you ... and I thank you, Jesus, amen and amen!
