I did foolishly wish for divine intervention. Don’t know what God has up his sleeve but I’m a bit peeved with Him.
Nelse McLeod: “Faith can move mountains, Milt. But it can’t beat a faster draw”
Really? When He’s told all of us time and time what to do. Repent. Change your worldview. And believe the good news for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Most Christians haven’t done the first part. We don’t recognize the way we view things and interpret life is causing all the problems.
We have hope in the dark and believe it’s faith. We apply our reason and sprinkle in a few Bible verses and self-serving prayers and are amazed that it only leads to futility.
Adam was called to a life of voluntary dependence on God. Instead he chose independence, self determination, and self actualization. Adam’s descendants justify their own independence, self determination and self actualization...not understanding that’s it’s the way of sin and death.
God’s thought is no longer with Adam. The way is closed and the door is shut. Man cannot pry that door open no matter how much he believes he can.
There is one way, one truth, and one life. Until we leave all that we inherited from Adam (repent) and believe that Christ is our wisdom, our hope, our inheritance...we will continually be peeved.
We have to embrace the Cross and all it represents about self denial and accept the responsibility of His resurrection for they are the only way out of this mess.
Go make disciples of nations. Be salt. Be light. We have failed.
