For His Purpose

                                                                     For His Purpose

     My daughter cut her right hand on a broken glass while doing dishes today.  She received immediate medical help by technicians and a first aid kit.  Bandage on and tears stopped, she commenced to eating lunch with her non-dominant hand.

     Batter up!  Today, Grandpa and Dad took over the dish routine.  Many glass glasses awaited their turn in the soapy plunge.   Plastic glasses also advanced.  I was reminded about God.  He makes a difference.  Praise God!  He knows His own.

     Does not the Word say some are predestined to glory and some to wrath?  In other words, He makes a distinction calling a people, who were not His people, His people.  Contrarily, He predetermines an adverse soul to Hell.

     Glass glasses are handled with care.  They are used in noble settings.  Plastic glasses are for the rough handlers.  A lower state they serve and barely make it to the supper table.  Thanksgiving is marked by Grandma’s fine utensils hidden in the up cupboard.  Special. 

     So, we are glass glasses.  He has predestined us to glory by working the name of His Son.  Others remain plastic wares.  However, they can ask God to change them to glass.  As He has said, all men will be held responsible for their actions.  To make no upward choice forces God to drop the vessel to the floor.  He will not cross His Word. 

   Today, let us who have been called to glory be transparent.

Cyclosporine

  Cyclosporine      Cyclosporine is an immunosuppressive drug given to keep the body from rejecting a transplanted organ.   In other words, the body knows its own and will fight foreign matter from being grafted in.   As a man with stage four kidney disease, this drug may come in handy.       So how is Christ our cyclosporine?   New must come.   In our natural state, our being fights what is not original.   Upon conversion, His Spirit enters in.   Mysteriously His Spirit intertwines with ours being permanently bonded together forever.   Hence, He is needed as we accept Him as our savior.      Acceptance is a huge thing.   What we allow into our heart, mind, and soul influences our spirit which animates our body.   We are as fortresses, walled cities with wooden gates hung upon steel hinges.   He gives us opportunity to stage keepers at each entrance.   They...

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...

A Plumb Line

A Plumb Line Amos 7:7  “ Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the  Lord  stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand. 8  And the  Lord  said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the  Lord , Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more: ” Leviticus 20:26 “ And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the  Lord  am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.”      How true are the walls of the American church?  Surely, we are ignorant Gentiles striving to know our God of whom we have been recently introduced.  The God of Israel had mileage behind Him when dealing with them.  Hence, His commandments brought severity if broken.  Still today, Moses’ pen offers our Father’s mind towards such things. Leviticus 20 Verse 1 – 5  Abortion. He’s not into that. Verse 6 ...
