Bring Common Sense Back Into The Equation
It’s been obvious for quite some time that removing “God” from all aspects of daily living is in effect removing Common Sense. What remains is not really living, but existing in a pseudo-reality. Let me use the analogy of “The Ant Farm”.
Let’s say that you go to a local supplier and purchase all the necessities required (dirt & ants) for having your very own ant farm and you place them in a glass case whereby you can watch those little buggers work, day after day after day. You make sure there is lighting to simulate days and nights and you add a generous portion of ant food (whatever that is) and insure there is adequate moisture.
Time passes and after a year it looks like everything is going well and life is good.
One day it appears that all work has stopped and nothing is happening. In fact you determine that the inside of the case is enveloped in what appears to be a protective shield blocking your view of the ants. When you pull the lid off the case there it is, written in the dirt are the words ANTS ONLY, ALL OTHERS STAY AWAY.
You’ve been officially banned from your own ant farm by your own ants.
How do you feel – angry, disappointed, rejected, abandoned?
Do you hold a grudge and blame all the ants or do you first seek to find the guilty culprits who instigated this ant farm uprising?
So what do you do now – pick up the case and dump the entire ant farm into the garbage?
Maybe in anger you pour everything out on the ground and begin stomping, stomping, stomping until there are no more ants and you vow never again?
Imagine how God felt when his prized creation (man) while living in the Garden of Eden and communing daily with Him disobeyed a simple command “Do not eat from the Tree” and then hid in shame from their creator because they had disobeyed.
Or later when God brought a flood over the face of the entire earth and only 1 family remained obedient as everyone thought they were foolish. (Who took that to the bank?)
And as we celebrate the Season of Christmas, God sent His Only Begotten Son Jesus into the world to live a sinless life in a world full of sin, so that He would die on the cross for all sin. Jesus provided the only way for man back to God.
What have we done, commercialize the sacredness of the memory of this precious moment for what amounts to filthy money. Man has tried to destroy what God has created or failing that, to nullify the absolutes in physics and common sense by believing that truth lies in the beholder (whatever feels good, do it), rather than what God as declared.
Yet in the midst of this tomfoolery let it be known that GOD LOVES YOU (no more or no less than when he created you) and in spite of ourselves.
All we must do is Love God and love others as we love ourselves and when it is within our power to live peaceably with all men. How hard is that?
MERRY CHRISTMAS – RTM
