Wichita

     Man, doesn’t this get complicated!  The indigenous peoples of the Wichita tribe were said to be caught up in animism.  Descended from Japheth, certainly they strayed far from the true source of life. Warped beliefs got them worshipping rocks, trees, and regarding all sacred having a soul.  It doesn’t stop there.  What did they do with their children?  Sacrifice?  I don’t know.  I didn’t bother to investigate.  I heeded the warning.

 Revelation 2:24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

     Some things aren’t worth checking out.  Darkness is only a vacuum demanding more and enticing wasted efforts in understanding.  What profits in time spent away from the Word?  Yes, not all reading sources need to be the scriptures, but those things consumed should prompt us back to the truth.  A good test.  Does this compel me to research the Word for answers?  If the tendency is to seek a human’s opinion, maybe the draw is perverted.

     Moths burn.  Flying to a false light, they cannot resist.  It is not the moon.  Guidance takes them circling until wings are seared and body engulfed.  Please examine your influences.

     He gave the Holy Word for a reason.  In it we find His mind and soul.  Empowered with this understanding, we can move mountains of doubt.  Laying the foundation of faith for little ones coming after, we can build magnificently.  So, how is our time spent?

     The National Enquirer draws attention.  At the grocery store, its cover shouts bastardized truths tantalizing an audience dripping with syrupy gossip.  Not to stoop that lowly?  How about Facebook?  A continual stream of images and comments keep our eyes busy and distracted from surrounding reality.

     Anything plus the Bible be bad?  No, priorities must be realized.  His Word in various forms is to surround us.  Not carried away in worldly pursuits, contentment must emanate from our being as we profess to have it figured out.  If we lack, seek purpose in His Word.

     Wichita.  They are a bygone people overcome by others seeking land with Bibles in their hands.  Blood won the rights and forced them up like a sore cancered weed.  Not to say the extraction tool was sanitized.  It just happened that way.

     God loves the ignorant.  Jesus died for all.  No matter what you worship, the God of Jesus will show mercy if you turn.  It is His undeniable character.  How willing His is to educate!  Truths invested mean a closeness to Him.  Indigenous peoples often lack.  They fill this overwhelming need with what they see transposed into imagined spiritual beings.  Danger is met when they dance with the counterfeit.  Satanic beings wear smiley faces and so deceive.

     Thy Word is truth.  Without it, we have no hope.  We have fallen.  Now knowing evil, we must use the rule book to avoid temptations.  Educated discernment keeps our hands free to do Thy work.  Unless we harness our power, we build Babel in vanity.

     Wichita bears witness.  Unless founded upon the Word that lasts forever, our accomplishments dry and are blown away by the wind of change.

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...
