ONE ABSOLUTELY CHANGELESS
Sunday, June 16, 2013John [GW] 11:7-10 Then, after the two days, Jesus said to his disciples, "Let's go back to Judea." 8 The disciples said to him, "Rabbi, not long ago the Jews wanted to stone you to death. Do you really want to go back there?" 9 Jesus answered, "Aren't there twelve hours of daylight? Those who walk during the day don't stumble, because they see the light of this world. 10 However, those who walk at night stumble because they have no light in themselves."
Equivocators ameliorate actuality, but the fact is our culture has changed. Here’s an item list sent to me this morning by Sharon, with changes we elders are witness to.
WELCOME TO' THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY!!!'
*Phones ~ Wireless
*Cooking ~ Fireless
*Cars ~ Keyless
*Food ~ Fatless
*Tires ~ Tubeless
*Dress ~ Sleeveless
*Youth ~ Jobless
*Leaders ~ Shameless
*Relationships ~ Meaningless
*Attitude ~ Careless
*Wives ~ Fearless
*Babies ~ Fatherless
*Feelings ~ Heartless
*Education ~ Valueless
*Children ~ Mannerless
Everything is becoming Less, & still our hopes are ~ Endless. In fact we are ~ Speechless & our LEGISLATORS ARE OFTEN CLUELESS!!!
It is easy to
slip into focusing on cultural flexing and reactive campaigning distracting us
from serving our utmost for His highest. Indeed we do physically inescapably
live in this earthly (USA et al) kingdom, and we largely see and experience it,
but our worldview is not to be thru its lens . . . but through the Light we
know. We are not to stumble in this present darkness, for we know the Light!
(Jn.11:7-10)
While Himself
experiencing this kingdom beneath, Jesus explained “My kingdom is not of this
world” (Jn.18:36) Christians, as citizens of the eternal highest kingdom, we
are not to see, think, and act as do the citizens of this lower kingdom.
(Jn.8:22-26) To think with Americana above godly attitude of and as His subject
will make us unfruitful. (Mt.13:18-23; 22:21; Mk.12:17; Lk.20:25)
Though presently
walking here, let us never forget the fact that all the kingdoms of this world
will one day become the kingdom of The Changeless One, our Lord and Redeemer,
and he will rule as king forever and ever. (Rev.11:15) EBB4
