Saturday Night Musings

The best things in life are free. Buy one and get one free. Free coffee refills at Bob Evans. Life time guarantee… or your money back. Take advantage of visiting the great lakes in Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania, the Grand Canyon in Arizona, or the wonder of the Redwood Forest in California. Hold a baby; listen to the chirping of the birds, view the sunset in the evening, and up for the breaking forth of a new day. Watch tides roll in and out. For the Christian, it is the hope of the coming of Christ in rapture and revelation. Salvation is always free. The Andy Griffith Show is without end. Freedom of speech for everyone, travel anywhere you like, believe like you want, choice of religion and color your hair green if you wish. Try that in any other country. While we live in a very evil, cruel and sinful world (Nov. 13, 2009—Fort Hood, Texas), it is the pleasure of our heavenly Father to give unto us the Kingdom. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (James 1: 17)

What did the wisest man in all the world have to say about four wonderful things in Proverbs? There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid. Proverbs 30:18, 19

The way of an eagle in the air. Eagles in the sky will attract, hold your attention as far as the eye can see, and leave you spell bound in awe. If you are able to get a picture of them, they will be your screen savers forever! They are some of God’s most mysterious creatures. Add to their many abilities is the eye that can see the smallest of items from such a great distance. What marvel? The Christian is much like the eagle that can spiritually fly higher than he can dream and see eternity beyond this present world. This is my Fathers’ world. You cannot fly like eagles if you walk with turkeys.

The way of a serpent on a rock. While you do not want to get near them, serpents are captivating to watch…at a distance! Rocks are always part of their environment. The Christian is called to be similar to that of a serpent traveling upon a rock. It matters little where you have been or what you have done but who you are and where you are going. Become wise as a serpent on a rock and leave not a single trace of sin in life.

The way of a ship in the midst of the sea. Living by faith, facing dangers with confidence, and having a purpose for doing business in great waters will enable one to see the works of God and His wonders in the deep. Once a sailor, always a sailor!

And the way of a man with a maid. The un-compromised and un-conditional love that a man has for his wife is compared only to that of Christ’s love for the church.

It seems to me the children of God have the best of both worlds. Having been born-again into our Father’s family by trusting in the His gospel and covered by His blood, we enjoy both the abundant and eternal life right here, right now. Just Wonderful!

Health Plan Will Require a Monthly Abortion Premium. Health care reform should not be used as an opportunity to use federal funds to pay for elective abortions. Health reform should be an opportunity to protect human life - not end it. Unfortunately, Speaker Pelosi’s 2,032-page government takeover of health care does just that. On line 17, p. 110, section 222 under “Abortions for which Public Funding is Allowed” the Health and Human Services Secretary is given the authority to determine when abortion is allowed under the government-run plan. The Speaker’s plan also requires that at least one insurance plan offered in the Exchange covers abortions. Posted by GOP Leader Press Office on November 5th, 2009

What did the wisest man in all the world have to say about what God Hates? These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaks lies, and he that sowed discord among brethren. Proverbs 6:16-19

A proud look. The first thing on God’s hate list is not murder, adultery, or homosexuality, but pride. This sin will lead to the ruin of all activities—no matter what. Beware!

A lying tongue. God hates this sin because it is everything that He is not. God is truth, all truth, and there is no possibility of lying in Him. He hates lying and so do you!

Hands that shed innocent blood. God hates this sin because it steals what He freely gives to the innocent. God hates murder. God hates abortion that robs the opportunity for every innocent person the right to live. Speaker Pelosi loves what God hates!

A heart that devises wicked imaginations. God will not dwell in filth, He hates it.

Feet that are swift running to mischief. If God hates the wicked plans in the heart, He most certainly hates the implementation of those plans. Run to God and serve Him.

A false witness that speaks lies. Tell the truth all the time, people will believe you all the time. Tell the truth half the time, no one will believe you anytime. (James Dobson)

Those that sow discord among the brethren. Behold how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity, anything else is a mess. Term limits anyone!

It seems to me we should love what God loves and hate what he hates. Or, we will love what God hates and hate what He loves. Speaker Pelosi needs to get about 2,032 swift letters before that gavel of pride comes down and blows everything up.

Jesus said: Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves (Matthew 10:16). Satan’s presence in the Garden of Eden was crafty, subtle, and very wise in attacking the innocence of Adam and Eve. He had the knowledge of good and evil, he understood the ways of God, he knew what he was doing, and he knew what he had to do to be successful in bringing down the fall of man. With this in mind, Jesus gives this wise counsel when faced with compromise.

What did the wisest man in all the world have to say about prudence? “A prudent man foresees the difficulties ahead and prepares for them; the simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.” - Proverbs 22:3

Prudence: The ability to have shrewdness to govern and to have discipline in the affairs of man. It is to use caution, sound reason, and skill in advocating good judgment. Failing in this prudent management, we become “guilty as serpents and stupid as doves”!

One will see the winds and the waves coming and do nothing about it. The other will see the same and will build his house on a rock. He will prepare for the worst as the killer storm arrives. Noah foresaw the flood and acted accordingly. There is a storm coming unlike the world has yet to see. When the Holy Spirit and the church are removed from this world, Satan will unleash an attack that will be unequaled to anything he has ever leveled on the lives on men. We are not ignorant of his subtlety when enlightened by the Word of God. Yea, did God really say that, yes he did!

To reject cooing of the Holy Spirit as a dove hovering over her brood is to be as blind as a bat in a hailstorm. The bridge is out and the ditch is straight ahead. Failing to heed will keep you stuck on stupid as you continue to slip on the wide and broad road which will come to a sudden stop in hell. In hell where there is gnashing of teeth and the worm dies not. In hell where the unjust remains unjust and filthy remains filthy. In hell where there is not one drop of water to cool the tongue. It is a place of torment not for the wise, but the naïve and the blind.

Jesus sat on a mountain side and said: Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how oft would I have gathered you under my wings and you would not. He did not say you could not come, or should not come, but that you would not come. He is proving a way of escape from the clutches of sin, deliver you from him who will let you perish in your sin, and chain you forever in the sides of hell where the world will look narrowly upon you.

You may have degrees, financially secured, physically well, but you are unsaved. You have never been born-again; you have never repented of your sin. Do not be ignorant in this what may be once in a life time decision. Danger is coming and you can not stop it, prepare yourself with the blood covering, confess your sin and turn to Christ—now!

It seems to me it better to prudent now than to be sorry later!
