Apathetic Times

apathy (1)  We Live in very apathetic times when so many people around us and in our country’s government cease, or are antagonistic against God’s Holy word. Some feel that the history written in that book are fables with no truth to them, and certainly bring no requirement upon our lives today. Many without factual support blurt out that the Bible is inconsistent, and filled with contradictions. Mankind takes comfort in feeling that the reality of New Testament’s authority on man’s life is optional at best.

These are coming from non-traditional homes where often there is no marriage vows. Often there is little respect for the law, disfunctionality or violence. Seeing that they themselves do not retain the ordinances of God in their homes and lifestyle, they have no God besides themselves to report or submit to. Something as simple as not liking what another person in a church says or does often to them negates their own responsibility to their own salvation. Often because of which many suspend any attempt at the wholesome actions that could bring them closer to a Holy God, and future heaven’s gates. Some simply don’t want to be saved God’s way citing “it doesn’t take all that stuff in the Bible”. It’s being taken too literally.

Then comes one of the final excuses, and that is that there is no God, no heaven, no hell. Upon which once a person has convinced themselves that this order came about by accident they spend their atheistic time in arguments trying to trip Christians up, or things such as posti

ng billboards to insist that people leave Jesus Christ out of his own birthday celebration. They’ll take Santa as long as they can celebrate the greatest holiday celebrations of the year without the Lord for whom the mass is celebrated.

Theatricle faces

Many Doctors and scientist do not believe in the supernatural, or that there is a God in heaven. Often they will try to down grade that many have met Him, or receive from Him. They show their lack of interest when anyone tries to share their experiences in prayer to suggest that Jesus will hear their prayer. A quick search of the internet will shed light on the presence of the LORD and his power in the lives of the

sick emotionally and physically and even His affect on weather etc. The Bible says that the heavens declare the glory of God, and that his existence is made know by what is seen.

Many scientific theories about the way the world began are often proven wrong. Darwin who is the creator of the evolution theory wrote in his works his dismay and the holes in his theory. They simply could not account for any evolutionary mutant changes as they say have occurred. This debate on God and Christianity goes on with ideas that the world and our whole existence came from and explosion of sludge. We know that explosions do not br

ing order, but disorder and devastation. Things are all as the Bible has stated, God created, and plants and animals bring forth after their kind. Their theories are simply unproven religion while the archeologist continually prove the existence of the writings in the bible.

Could this real reason for this battle against the Almighty’s existence be that they themselves refuse to humble themselves before God’s mighty power? If they acknowledge the existence of our savior Jesus Christ, they will know they must answer to Him one day for the lives that they live. Mankind must also, in that acknowledgment decide and whether or not they will give honor to Him and obey Him They love to exclude the fact that there r

eally is a higher and controlling power whose judgment is also out of their control.

Yet still there is this effort to silence the belief that say there is a right and a wrong. Christians has suffered this disdain of holiness and truth because they have a relationship with their living God who created the world and everything in six days. Christianity is the exact opposite of anarchy of social living and that all practices that men enjoy are not righteous. For those that hate bowing now, the scripture says it is a terrible thing to fall into the hand of the Living God. The acceptance of this reality o

f power can be terrifying to those who chose to reject it.

Generally speaking, s

ome do not come or stay in a church because it disagrees with their life style, and the activities that they desire to indulge it. Yet scripture already said before their time; Sin ( which are practices against the will of God in Christ that died for them) is pleasurable for only a season. Then afterward with the conscious that they were given they try to suppress the guilt, but continue in their sins until their conscious is seared as with a hot iron, and their feelings of guilt are covered. Though people would rather forget their end for now, the Scripture says only those who do the will of the Father will be saved.

God is a God of love to those who will seek him, even also in John 3:16 it is said that God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son that whosoever believed in him shall have everlasting life.

 

 

Yet at the prospect of rebellion to the authority that the LORD has set in place, there is a terrifying conclusion to Israel in the book of Numbers.

Num 16:32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
Num 16:33 They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.

Science tells us that the volcanic eruptions come form deep in the earth as a liquid fire that flows out from time to time witnessing a similarity to the lake of fire mentioned in scripture. There is love for all who will, but punishment for those who rebel. The LORD is gracious enough to at times reveal a witness to those things that are not seen.

Men and women alike have discussed experiences of life after death. In some of these experiences (though later the person was allowed to return) a place that the Bible describes as hell was experienced. Especially for those who would not believe in God, and also those who refused to serve the LORD and rebelled against his authority. A place through a tunnel similar to the place described in Numbers where men went down into, and also described by Jesus Christ himself to which a rich man found himself. It was a place of torment where the rich man begged for just a drop of water. Even scientist bear out there is a fire, or hot center of the earth.

However all who die did not go to this place of torment. Many Christians who have had out of body, or life after death experiences went to a place of peace and joy and saw others who had lived for God. They also experienced a reception by one who dwelled in the light, and the bible say our LORD does, Proof that there is reward to those who obey and misfortune to those who refuse.

We have a choice. We can chose to become a part of the LORD’s kingdom, and be saved for the risk of eternal suffering, and instead spend a life forever in God’s kingdom where there is no fear, no sadness, no sickness or death, but joy and peace forever. Our LORD has allowed many witnesses to mankind that He and his word is true. Believe in the reality of god and be rewarded. Don’t let desires of this world drown out the existence of God that He has allowed to be seen.

Jesus said do all in the name of Jesus Christ. The Apostle admonished mankind on the day of Pentecost ;

Act 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
