Just read my friend's blog. eternal rewards. She has a habit of being thankful every Thursday. What a great idea. I'd like to be more thankful. I am thankful. I have infinite blessings from the Lord.
There are those days, though, when you just feel grief.
Tornadoes in Indiana--all over the central U.S., false teaching, disappointments, politics, personal failures, sickness, sin.
Last night we heard about a professor at Wheaton College, where my husband and I both attended, who has been arrested for child pornography.
Does this not grieve?
It nauseates.
No one can point the finger without first accusing the self, but I do grieve over the fall of such a mighty college. I grieve. I do not judge. I know we are all sinners. But how far we have fallen.
The Bible predicts that in the end even the elect will be deceived. Israel, the wife of Jehovah, will flower again. The church, the bride of Christ, will be persecuted. Together they will see Christ's kingdom come on earth. Scripture plays out before our eyes!
The Swedish online news The Local, gives such a grievous reason for the naming of the new little princess. Perhaps it is just surmise. Perhaps not. Perhaps the noose is tightening on Israel. Scripture indicates that the world will turn against her. How quickly this is happening. It's breathtaking.
People don't forgive. Apparently, the royal family in Sweden has not forgiven a grievous crime. It reminds me of the feuds of the south, described so poignantly in Huckleberry Finn. If a conflict is not resolved it festers and blooms in the stink flower of ongoing generations. What a warning to us as parents!
Even so, Lord Jesus, come quickly.
I heard a preacher say---I don't raise my children to see a better life, I raise them to expect persecution.
Grievous. We have seen our lives become so island-like. There are days when it seems we stand alone in an ocean of unfamiliarity and antagonism.
I've had a new idea about Republican politics this week. I voted for Rick Santorum in the primary, but it seems Romney will take the lead. As a Christian, I feel real repugnance voting for someone whose spiritual beliefs so distort my own, but with the incredible ties Mormonism has with Freemasonry---the direct parallels, and the incredible influence of Freemasonry on our country since the time of the American Revolution---I see that George Washington and Mitt have a lot in common. Perhaps we understand more now about the ends of Mormonism or Freemasonry, but we've been under their influence for quite some time.
It is the End that concerns me.
So then we focus on the task ahead. We become single-minded. We see the Power of the Holy Spirit, the Truth of Christ. The Holy Word, the wisdom of our Lord God. We see the love of Christ all around us, and we live the gospel of peace.
And we are comforted.
God bless you today, and may His Spirit fill you and encourage you. We stand on a narrow path, and it leads to a good end.
I am thankful for the Bible. It has the words of life.
