Light As A Feather

 

Light As A Feather

     This morning I saw a white feather slowly descending and rest.  A slight breeze blew it away.  We have a God who decides to forget.  Sin is such a little thing.  His Son’s sacrifice was that strong.

      Does the establishment let us understand?  Sin consciousness is a great rallying point.  It keeps us groveling at the foot of the cross.  Never moving on, we enter our gatherings convinced we need another washing to be clean.

1 John 1:8 “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.”

     Ever heard that one quoted out of context?  How about this one:

Jerimiah 17:9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”

     Cripples!  Who has told you to come into the house of God in wheelchairs?

     What of this verse?

Acts 2:14 “But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:” 

     Whoa!  Isn’t the Holy Spirit’s first job to convict?  Oh, Peter must have repented on knees with fire on his head before his speech.  The word doesn’t record…

      The Spirit fell on Cornelius and his household.  They lit up immediately and praised God.  What about sackcloth and ashes?  Isn’t our God to be glorified by our sorrow?

      Today my local church partakes in communion.  It is a special time to determine what His sacrifice means to us individually.  He meets us at that point, but He does not want us to stay there.

Hebrews 6:1 “Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 And this will we do, if God permit.”

     “Look in My eyes child.  Look up.”

     Sin rehearsal lowers our head in shame.  Our Brother has lifted that burden off us.  We can confidently walk with the Father holding His hand.  Will He remind us, with every step, that we miserably need Him?  Does He hold a bloody cross before us?

     Your understanding of this determines your boldness.  The enemy would hold you to past failures.  The Preacher says for everything there is a time.  There are times to get your business straight with God.  As you mature, these moments become rare.

      I’ve been married to my wife for thirty-four years.  I do less things that tick her off now.  Growing sensitivity pulls my foot away before I trip her.  Thus, I do not say sorry as much as I used to.  Same with God.  He wants me to look up and explore the day with Him.  If I do slip, He lifts me up then off we go again.

     Sin as a feather does not weigh down the heart of God.

Sojourning

  Sojourning Sojourn: a temporary stay Hebrews 11: 8  “ By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. 9  By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country , dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10  For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. ”      This indeed is a strange place.   I call my house T.L.A. or Temporary Living Accommodations.   In the Air Force, TLA housed those who were just passing through.   Like airman using the base as a skipping stone to get to their next assignment.   Hotels of sorts, they offered the comforts of home on a smaller scale.      We are a people set in Babylon.   Even in Sodom as we shut the doors as night.   This world so interferes wit...

The Church Picture

  The Church Picture 2 Samiuel 6: 20  “ Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself! 21  And David said unto Michal, It was before the  Lord , which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the  Lord , over Israel: therefore will I play before the  Lord . 22  And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour. ” Revelation 4: 10  “ The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11  Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive ...

God's Successive Revelations

  God’s Successive Revelations Search Me diligently, and I will reveal Myself to you.      Yah, that sound like something God would say.   I understand He revealed the Trinity to us.   I plead ignorance in Church history.   Some theologians, perhaps 400 A.D. came upon this gem that we hold true today.   The idea of the rapture is new on the Church radar.   Late 1800’s?      What if God revealed His truth to His people in time?   Surely, Solomon was the wisest man in his day, but did he know about Pentecost?   Daniel, the far seer, was only shown glimpses.   What did he know of Peter and miracles in the temple?   A certain king discovered God’s truth again and that made for a reformation, but what did he know of the beast standing in the sea?   God gives insight in His time.      I have trained seven children.   As young  children, I did not flood them with...
