And Where Were You?

  And Where Were You?      My best friend’s mother took her own life.   We were in high school at the time.   It came as a surprise, kind of.   Her previous attempt was unsuccessful, so she tried again.      Suicide can do weird things to a family.   Question marks float in the air sometimes never being resolved.   Guilt can come and rest on shoulders.   Plausible answers temporarily cover the shame.   “Oh, there must have been something wrong.”   Mummers about the town as you feel the starting eyes.   One question:   Where is God in all this?      Pain can convince us that He has left.   Somehow His presence is sucked away and clouds are left about our heads.   Truth is, His temple is not based on our feelings.   If our feelings gave Him substance, then He would not be much of a god.      He lives out of our reality not to be mani...

Eating With Unwashed Hands

  Eating With Unwashed Hands Mark 7      Jesus and crew got in hot water again with the Pharisees and Jewish onlookers.   Eating with whores and sluts, tax collectors and thieves, unclean and deserving of dissing, I assume this was the backdrop again to the Master’s gathering.   “Why do your disciples eat without washing their hands first?”   Jesus unloads on them as He blows holes in their hull sending them back to port with a smoking stern exposing their naked reasoning.      Don’t mess with Jesus.   The Wolverine will turn on you and rip your insolent disposition down as your sails are shredded.   The Pharisees saw His fangs and drew back.      Barring Jesus’ strict reprimand, what was the crux of His argument with them?   It certainly was not about cleanliness next to Godliness.   No, He took aim at something that still plagues the Church today.   All protectors of the fa...

There Will Be A God

  There Will Be A God      The next great event the Church will see is the Rapture.   Yes, I'm one of those types of guys.   But what to do with this scripture? Matthew 24:24  “ For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. ”      Who is the elect here?   I postulate He is referring to the ones reigning with Him in the millennium.      How about this one? 1 John 2:18  “ Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. ”      The Antichrist?   Shouldn’t we be looking for him?   Awe!   He be here or there.   No, again God talks of a time very distant from now.   The spirit of the antichrist is already here. ...
