“FAR WOULD 4 SAIL”
Due to an infirmity in the
thinking process I had to read that sign two or three times to understand it. What some would consider it a misuse of the
language “de Jour,” yet it communicates thoughts and ideas, and that is what
language is all about.
Still a standardized version
works better universally. The power of
ideas is power that can be exercised over people’s minds bringing them into
subjection and obedience. Total obedience is hard to achieve because the last
vestige of resistance tries to remain but due to pressure finally submits.
When ideas promote some form
of religious belief system it takes on an additional layer of power. The books
follow the ideas. As we examine some of
the religions that have popped up in the last few centuries we see the
importance of the books.
Within the
“Books,” there is a system of control factors that require obedience with
ultimate power placed in their “Prophet” better known as the guy who thought up
this ‘Thing.”
It is obvious that sooner or
later some will ask why do people go for all these illogical reasoning’s? The offer of being superior to others has its
appeal and an intelligent presentation that puts down objections seals the deal
for many.
Scientology is a perfect
example of this; it goes further by adding works for reaching the desired goal.
The real answer is the desire to expunge an inner guilt that constantly urges
one to seek relief. This opens one to any promise of deliverance.
All of the above brings me to
this; there is no idea that GOD has put forth that Satan can’t imitate or skew in
some way. Start in the garden where
marriage was between a man and a woman.
Satan has really worked that one over.
One interesting definition of skew is; to twist, to distort especially
from a true value.
Because of so many claims
saying this is the way, to worship the only GOD is in such a disingenuous state
that finding the true GOD is a miracle in itself. Consider yourself fortunate to be so blessed,
should you have found HIM.
When those who have followed
these false ideologists find that they could have had the real thing, their
defense, “I was skewed - - will not be sufficient to get them off the hook.
The words “Today is the day
of salvation,” are GOD’S ultimate expression to seekers.
Seek you the LORD while he
may be found, call you on him while he is near: you will not be disappointed.
My Lord knows the way through the wilderness, All I have to do is follow.
My Lord knows the way through the wilderness, All I have to do is follow.
Strength for today, is mine all the way, And all that I need for tomorrow.
My Lord knows the way through the wilderness, All I have to do is follow.

ReplyDeleteWhen I live in our present-day world it's extremely filled with sinfulness, partly b/c there are so many people in the world. Millions and billions more than ever anticipated. Whether I ever understood in the beginning of my spiritual life, 49 years ago, I was changed to a prophetic person. Not necessarily sharing info with people, but seeing much through my heart and spiritual "eyes". Trusting our Lord is all we can ever do. He is all that counts...here and in heaven. Thanks for sharing.
