Talking With God
The Bible is filled with ordinary men and women who walked reverently before and talked one-on-one with the God of the Bible.
Adam and Eve were the first. They lived in the garden, conversed with God daily right up and until they disobeyed the one command given them – “Don’t eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.”
Then they decided to hide from their sin and gave this song and dance story that it was God’s fault since He had created them.
Sound familiar?
I could go on about Noah. You know that crazy old man who talks to God and is building a what, A BOAT? He keeps saying it’s gonna rain.
Crazy isn’t he?
What about David and his coat of many colors. His brothers thought he should just stuff it. So they sold him as a slave and told their father the wild animals got him.
Moses took off his sandals because the burning bush said the ground was holy ground.
Then God gave him a couple of huge stones with Commandments written on them. We’ve been breaking those commandments ever since.
Moses held up his arms and God parted the Red Sea so the Israelites could escape from Egypt. As God lead them through the desert, light by night, manna by day they complained all the time. They didn’t take God at His word when he told them to take possession of the land of milk and honey. So much complaining that they wondered around for 40 years until the entire doubting generation had passed away without entering the land promised by God.
Abram wrestled with God, was made the father of many nations. God called him Abraham.
When God sent his only begotten son Jesus the king tried to kill him. The people mocked him and crucified him. The very people he came to save from the sins of the world.
The world crucifies him daily while his followers look earnestly for his imminent return.
In modern times God placed a light on top of a hill for the world to see. It’s called America, the great experiment and gives hope of a better life in a world without hope.
People have sought to extinguish the light while others cling to the hope that it brings.
America God spread his grace on thee and crowned thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.
Why is it so hard to believe that God has chosen a man for such a time as this? The world has raised its ugly head in resistance!
Evil hates God, what HE stands for and all creation.
God has a plan and nothing can stop it.
It is not God”s will that one soul should perish, but that all come to the salvation knowledge of God.
If you’re not for Him you are against Him.
The wages of sin is death (eternal separation from God).
God loves YOU!

The Real Truckmaster 
Well said, and in a different way than usual. Our guest speaker at our church today was Pastor Rafael Cruz, father of senator Ted Cruz. A born in Cuba Christian that came to the states after being tortured by Castro. He approaches the good and the bad of our churches and the real Christianity in a way that is similar to what you posted. No candy coating or feel good stuff, just the facts..jack.
