The Matrixes of Life . . .

Matrixes of life, if a little is good, more is better! Kill one in a

movie; killing thousands its better. Overachievers, wealth is good

opulence is better!


Extravaganza, New Year display, blow billions of dollars into thin air for a fading memory. So goes the showy display of ones means of life, the

standard we must out do!


1 Timothy 6:8 But having food and clothing, we will be content with

that.


1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the

lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn’t the Father’s, but is

the world’s. 2:17 The world is passing away with its lusts, but he

who does God’s will remains forever.


Psalms 49:10 For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless perish, and leave their wealth to others.

Humans Don't Want Faith . . .


Humans don’t want faith, they want evidence, rock solid evidence. A system built on lies isn’t a smart place to search for evidence of God who

cannot lie and must be served by faith!


It is by faith God reveals the truth something this world cannot

understand. Living in faith is foolishness to the world; that’s why

the road to life is cramped and few find it.


Rom. 1:17 For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith.

As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by

faith.”{Habakkuk 2:4}


2 Cor. 5:7 for we walk by faith, not by sight.


Heb 11:6 Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for

he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a

rewarder of those who seek him.

Staking Our Lives on Truth . . .

Staking our life on a truth, my be the instrument of our crucifixion, truth is not by human motive! Motives are blinding, driven by human interest and time.

 

We are but a flower, here today gone tomorrow, so goes our truths’.

Eternity is God’s truth, not ours, hero’s or villain are formed by

history driven by human interest!

 

Isa. 40:6 The voice of one saying, “Cry!” One said, “What

shall I cry?” “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory

is like the flower of the field.

 

Jer. 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly

corrupt: who can know it?

 

John 2:24 But Jesus didn’t trust himself to them, because he knew everyone, 2:25 and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man;

for he himself knew what was in man.

Truth Not a Commodity . . .


Truth is not a commodity, packaged and sold, that’s darkness! There is no competition in truth, thus, our world can’t be in light.


God can’t be overcome by darkness; there isn’t a war between light and

darkness only in the hearts of humans and wicked spirit forces


Nothing of God works in darkness only wicked spirits and human’s who hid God; that is the evil work being done under the Sun!

 

Eccl 1:14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and

behold, all is vanity and a chasing after wind.


Eccl 8:17 then I saw all the work of God, that man can’t find out the work that is done under the sun, because however much a man labors to seek it out, yet he won’t find it. Yes even though a wise man thinks he

can comprehend it, he won’t be able to find it

Dirty Hands or a Good Conscience?

People love to wipe their dirty hands on others its a compulsion to cleanse a dirty conscience; there would be a world wide condemnation if someone wiped their dirty hands on a movie stars fine clothing! 

Fine clothing can be replaced or washed but not so much our soul. Devaluing, wiping our hands on others, is easy, no one cares accept the holy watchers. 

Daniel 4:17 The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones; to the intent that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whoever he will, and sets up over it the lowest of men.

1 Peter 3:21a This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you—not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

God, Not a Drug Dealer!

If we are looking for an excuse not to do what is right then we are not

seeking God, we may be just shopping religion! Drug companies love

using happy old people dancing and sing in their golden years to sell

their drugs.


God’s not a drug dealer, he doesn’t sell feel good pills, He is truth!

He tells us that we all fail short of his glory, we are sinners and

how He will make us new by his great mercy.


If you just want to feel better than other sinners there’s lots of peddlers

of feel good pills.


2 Cor.12:9 He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for

my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I

will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest

on me.

Is God Tormenting Us With Impossible Standards?


In a world where most of us strive to improve daily, it seems impossible

there are things we can’t improve, such as the law of love!


The idea we can’t reach God’s love doesn’t make God evil or less

loving, God is not tormenting us by impossible things. Reaching

something does not make us the thing! God gives us the free gift of

eternal life.


Loving children don’t berate elderly parents for not being what they once were, they lovingly help them through old age, God will love us through our wretch state, because he is love and we are not. Pure unselfish

love, is the light of Grace, it is the state we must live in!


1 John 4:19 We love Him, because he first loved us.


1 John 4:8 He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love.

The Imagination of Evil!


There is no end to evils’ imagination, evil imputes evil to everyone.

Evil is darkness, it has no shadow or light to reflex it image to

others. It must feed off others soul or it perishes in it own

darkness.


It has no life in it, it must live on the bread of human souls captured

by its imagination. Christ Jesus defeated evil, evil can’t live

off the lights soul, so it must devour those feeding off the bread of

life!


John 6:32b Jesus: “Most certainly, I tell you, it wasn’t Moses who

gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true

bread out of heaven. 6:33 For the bread of God is that which comes

down out of heaven, and gives life to the world.”


John 6:48 I am the bread of life.

Complete Trust or Distrust?


It is a very difficult to put our life into someones hands ultimately

trusting them with the most precious thing we have.


Many want that position, many demand that right in our lives but distrust

ends up being our god. Few of us know God because religion teaches

God wants, demands, the same. Truth does not exist without trust,

darkness is a perversion of light driven by fear and distrust in the

name of God!


Luke 11:35 Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.


James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,”

for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.


1 John 1:5 This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

My God is a Powerful Statement!


My God is a powerful statement, but its not God! Mankind does not

direct God’s steps, nor are our ways his ways.


We are not the potter and God the clay that we mold into an acceptable

god created by our thinking and standards. God’s personality is

revealed from heaven through his Son, if God so chooses!


Luke 10:22 Turning to the disciples, he said, “All things have been

delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the

Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the

Son desires to reveal him.”


Rom. 9:21 Or hasn’t the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump

to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?


Isa55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says Yahweh.

The Value of Hard Work?


The value of hard work set a test stone in ones life! One cannot be a

fool or lazy and be a good employee, one cannot cheat or be

self-centered and work with others for long.


It requires goals, tests, improvements for the reward of self-respect;

each improvement brings greater character while exposing the lies of

free loaders like government. This is how our founding fathers made

America great and independent!.


Proverbs 29:17 Correct your son, and he will give you peace; yes, he will

bring delight to your soul


Proverbs 19:18 Discipline your son, for there is hope; don’t be a willing

party to his death.


Proverbs 10:5 He who gathers in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during

the harvest is a son who causes shame.

Two Choices . . .

Two choices, finding a way to do the least we can working or learn how to improve every day at our work. One way builds moral character, the

other destroys it!


There is no job beneath us it just shows our real character. Stealing,

lying, blaming others start with our work habits. There are no cutting

corners our work proves if we are a giver or taker. There is only

wheat or weeds!


2 Thess. 3:10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: “If anyone will not work, neither let him eat.” 3:11 For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who don’t work at all, but are busybodies. 3:12 Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

Self-scruntiny Does Not Exist For People Who Expect Others to Take Care of Them


Self scrutiny does not come from people who expect others to take care of them. When people demand programs from government paid for by tax payers dollars self-scrutiny doesn’t exist!


What the rest of us end up with is a plagued woke society without

appreciation, a society who hates any criticism. Self-scrutiny is the

Devil they must destroy! The difference between a fool and wisdom is

as simple as self-scrutiny!


Psalms 92:6 A senseless man doesn’t know, neither does a fool understand

this:


Proverbs 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who is wise listens to counsel.


Proverbs 17:10 A rebuke enters deeper into one who has understanding than a hundred lashes into a fool.

Does Simple Truth's Deceive or Mysteries?


What deceived Eve? Was it the simple truth that Eve was deceived by, or a

mystery? Adam wasn’t deceived he just went along with the lie!


The Father of mysteries, who is also the Father of lies, understood human

weakness for great mysteries to deceive not just Eve, but the world.


Deception comes from pride, it’s pride that fertilizes the field of mystery.

Truth has no pride, why? because no one created it or owns it, but

God!


John 3:27 John answered, “A man can receive nothing, unless it has

been given him from heaven.


Rom. 11:6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace

is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

Life is Complex When What we Really Want is a Simple Answer!


Life is complex when what we really want is a simple answer. We want a

starting point and end point and clear markers to guild us through

this maze called life.


That why the world is full of books trying to simplify life, which only

adds to the complexity of life. There is good and evil, light and

darkness and God is love with those markers we can keep our life

between the lines.


James. 1:16 Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers. 1:17

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down

from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning

shadow.

Why Does The Bible Say We Humans Can't Direct Our Steps?


Why does the bible say we humans can’t direct our steps?

Well, If we like something we think everyone does, we judge from what we

like, gay people think everyone gay, drinkers think everyone like

drinking, drug addicts think everyone like some kind of drug, and the

matter get worse when we have a high aversion to something!


In fact, we’d have the whole world just like us, if we had God’s

power.


John 8:15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.


James 1:25 But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom, and

continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work,

this man will be blessed in what he does.

Why Are We So Involved In Reality?

Why are we so involved in reality? Because life teaches us reality in

the harsh ways. Life can be a cruel unloving unforgiving task-master.


When parents allow children to live in fantasy make believe world those

attributes are practice in adult life. It is reality that fixes

unreality messes, pays for, sacrifice for, and often dies for the

drug of unreality!


Heb.12:6 For whom the Lord loves, he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.”{Proverbs 3:11-12} 12:7 It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?

At What Age Do We Stop Making Mistakes?


Being wrong is human, its a life time history lesson! The pain is when

people pretend not to!


The myth society teaches; at some point we learn to stop making mistakes

through experience. Humility teaches truth, we don’t, there just

harder to admit because we should know better by our own

history lessons!


Eph. 4:2 with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one

another in love;


Col. 3:12 Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a

heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;


Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a

fall.

Truths That aren't so Self-evident!

There are many self-evident truths in life not all are beautiful like a

heavenly song, such as “there is no innocents in evil!” And, that humans will ignore both until their own lives are dramatically affected.


Things break, we imperfect human’s fix them, but few of us have foresight beyond that. What should be self-evident is why we and government repeat such foolish non-sense?


Jeremiah 10:23 in the Bible says, “O LORD, I know the way of man is not in himself; it is not in man who walks to direct his own steps”.


Jer. 17:5 Thus says Yahweh: Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from Yahweh.
