Tired this morning, feel like I ran a marathon during the night.  Can’t remember a single dream that would cause me to be that way.

Course having to get up to let Blaze out several times – he just wanted treats, but I couldn’t be sure until I opened the door – didn’t help much.

I was asked, if God is so good, why is there so much grief and destruction in our world?

Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Then

Genesis 2:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did  eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

And then satan realized he had the upper hand and his lies would be acceptable to man.

There is no God.

Man makes his own destiny.

Man is responsible for himself and no other.

Man is all knowing.

Being a good person is good enough, to get you into heaven.

If there is a heaven.

I can do whatever I wish as long as it isn’t hurting anyone else.

Your views are wrong and we will pass laws to correct them.

Be tolerant of everything.

Don’t make any judgments; everybody has the right to be what they want to be.

Sin is not sin and we punish those that say it is.

The theory of Evolution proves that man is the supreme being.

But, not all man, those in power will decided who is the greatest and who needs to be purged – one way or another.

The Bible is just a book and has no bearing on how man should live his life.

There are many paths to heaven.

Christ was a good teacher, but not the Son of God.

The list goes on, of course;

But until we accept the fact that only God has the answers the world is condemned to continue its downward spiral.

Unfortunately, billions upon billions of souls have been and are being lost because they refuse to accept God’s Son.

Throughout man’s existence he has committed the same errors, over and over again.  The world never seems to learn from man’s mistakes, only compounds them with more and more brutal atrocities.

Even for Christians, it is easy to get caught up in the debauchery, satan knows what are weaknesses are and uses them against us.  Rarely does he do a frontal full attack, he has learned if he nips at our conscience and gets us to follow him a little way, he can continue drawing us away until all of a sudden we realize we have abandoned our God and assisted satan in his work.

Never-the-less, we must trust in God, continuing to examine our hearts and focus on Him.  We must remember the joy of our salvation and allow that to open our hearts to the Holy Spirit and allow Him to work in our lives.

We can make a difference, we may not be able to reach the world ourselves, but we don’t have to – God is in charge and we but have to listen to Him.

An army is not made up of one person.  It is made up of many who come together for a cause – we are God’s army and our cause is to share the Gospel with others, wherever we are.

Everyone makes their own decision whether or not to accept Him, but first they have to hear about Him.

We cannot force people to accept Christ, we can’t even force them to listen to us.  But we can continue to witness to them in our daily life and pray for them.

The Bible gives us many examples as to what can happen when men and women of God stand for Him and do not waiver.  AND it gives many examples of what happens when man fails to obey.

1 Corinthians 10:10-11 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

¹¹ Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

We know that path of righteousness that Jesus has given us, we know that He will be coming back and in the end all of this will be destroyed.

But until then we have the responsibility to save guard our salvation living for Him and telling others.

Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
