Dear friends; Can you put back together again a broken and smashed egg? Now think on that for a few minutes before you read on... Well, the simple, objective and obvious answer is; of course not; for it is absolutely unrepairable and impossible to do and would take an absolute miracle from Almighty God (Jer. 32:17, Matt. 19:26, Luke 18:27; Rev. 21). Now my dear friends, with that picture and obvious example in mind, let me ask you this simple question; Can you put you (spirit, soul, and body) completely back together again in PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS? You see my friend, the majority of mankind does not want to even think about such things because we do not like the answer. Tragically men love error, unrighteousness, and darkness more than ETERNAL LIGHT and will NOT think on such things and one's ETERNAL destiny and Day of reckoning (Prov. 20:9, Eccl. 7:20, John 3:16-17, Rom. 3:23, 1 John 1:8-10; 4:10; Rev. 20:11-15)!
Can you put you back together again in RIGHTEOUSNESS? That is the question of the ages!
Tragically, since the fall of man from his COMPLETE and PERFECT estate of RIGHTEOUSNESS in the Garden of Eden (a perfect egg - Gen. 1:31; 2-3; John 8:44), man has only demonstrated a godless, lawless, unrighteous, and violent bent throughout our 6000-year history and will continue to do so unto the end of the 1000 Year Kingdom of Jesus Christ (Gen. 6; Rom. 1:18-32; 3; Eph. 2:1-2; Rev. 13; 20:7-10). Mankind has only demonstrated that we are a smashed and broken egg; unrepairable, unredeemable, and unrighteous; yet the hardest thing in the world to do is to convince and manifest that truth to fallen humanity; for they DO NOT want to hear it and LOVE darkness rather than ETERNAL Light (Isa. 53; John 3:19-21, Rom. 1:18-32; Eph. 2:1-2, 1 John 5:19)!
Almighty God has been reaching out to Adam's fallen race in RIGHTEOUSNESS ever since the fall and has only ever had a few takers as it were out of the billions which have lived since the Garden of Edan fall!
Almighty God has been reaching out to Adam's fallen race in RIGHTEOUSNESS ever since the fall and has only ever had a few takers as it were out of the billions which have lived since the Garden of Edan fall (Matt. 7:13-14)! How ETERNALLY HORRIFIC and TRAGIC! Mankind choose to follow Satan and his lawlessness in the Garden of Eden and was ETERNALLY murdered by him and throughout this world's history oppressed and tyrannized by him (Gen. 2-3; John 8:44; Heb. 2:13-15); yet this world absolutely despises and hates Almighty God, their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator, and wants absolutely nothing to do with Him, His RIGHTEOUSNESS and His ETERNAL SALVATION. Almighty God seeks to restore mankind back to RIGHTEOUSNESS and HARMONY in ETERNAL LOVE yet who will hear and who will believe (Gen. 3:8-15, Isa. 53; John 1:9-11; 3:16-17; 2 Cor. 5:12-21, 1 John 4:10, Rev. 22:1-5)? We as humanity are indeed as a smashed egg without any capability of redeeming ourselves and restoring ourselves back to RIGHTEOUSNESS. The void of Almighty God's RIGHTEOUSNESS, ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS PERSON, and CHARACTER has laid waste humanity and has left us absolutely bankrupt.

Dear friend, if you can objectively see what we have just shared with you then you must see our need as Adam's fallen race for ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS and a Savoir (John 3:16-17; 1 John 4:10). Beloved, that is what the Gospel of Jesus Christ is all about! Redeeming us and restoring us back to fellowship with our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator (John 3:16-17, Rom. 10:2-4, 1 Cor. 2-4; 1 John 4:10). Almighty God desires NONE to perish in their sins and unrighteousness and spend ETERNITY in the Lake of Fire under the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS judgment of Almighty God (Almighty God's dump). Crushed, broken, and rancid eggs have no place but the garbage can and the same goes with fallen humanity which rejects ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS and RESTORATION (Matt. 7:13-14, John 3:16-17, Rev. 20:11-15; 22:11). Dear friends, it is that ETERNALLY serious; Please consider what you have read today and know that Almighty God the Son so loves you in RIGHTEOUSNESS that He died for your sins as your PERFECT RIGHTEOUS PROPITIATION that you may be restored back to Him.
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Of course we can. Who separated YOU from YOU?
I’ve often described things at work as a Sisyphean task. People have no idea what I’m talking about.
“Sisyphean? You say that every time we do this!”
We are no longer born as sinners in need of a Saviour. We are Saints who recognize that we sometimes miss the mark.
We are no longer under the thumb of our self-induced or others-induced guilt trips.
You are born with a body, a soul (mind will and emotions, your behavior mechanism), and a spirit. That spirit is in a state of deadness so it cannot direct your behavior mechanism and you sinn constantly. With Salvation, GOD puts His seed of Life in that dead spirit and you possess eternal life. You didn’t put that eternal life in your spirit, God did it. The degree to which His seed abiding in your spirit directs your behavior is proportional to the degree to which you learn, listen, and yield to His Presence. Some will ‘aphistemi’ (stand apart from) then enter Heaven in the Harpazo who have failed to listen and be led, but they cannot expel that which ONLY God can put int he human spirit.
The jig is about up for the can't do people who are all show and no-go.
“In the beginning, Go—”
Gunning for the exits isn't the way, the truth, OR the life.
A simple old man feeding squirrels is way ahead of most “preachers of the Word.” He's just Do-ing what he can to love and care for some needy critters.
There's no great tribulation in his house, just maybe a little stress if he sees that he's running low on peanuts.
Reminds me of college in Boston. I was walking down the Commonwealth [tree lined boulevard running thru Boston] w/ many benches ...and along comes a spry, dashing, elderly man, walking very briskly carrying a large black, leather briefcase. He looked every bit the part of a partner in a prestigious law firm, on his way to the office.
He plunks himself down on a bench, opens his bulging briefcase of peanuts,and every squirrel within 10 blocks came running to receive his generous handfuls of nutty goodness.
That sight, to this day, makes me smile.
He was late he was late for a very important date!
Great story.
