The Web's Voice in the wilderness

There's a verse around the middle of the bible that says, "The concept of a God is foolishness to those who are perishing".

I thought about this for a while and began to realise the plight of the unbeliever.  While the unbeliever will ridicule and mock the believer for being stupid or out of touch, that very person is described as perishing.  It's the perishing that don't even realise that they are just that, perishing.

It is certainly easier to ridicule someone for their own beliefs if you have no concept of faith.  Of course it is hard to grasp the idea of an unseen God.  The thing is that you aren't going to physically see Him unless you first ask Him to impact your life.  That is the point when you accept that He does exist.

What would it be like to perish without knowing it?  This kind of person is generally ignoring their spiritual side and judging someone else who actually has a spiritual side.  That is a very personal thing.  I mean God will speak to us individually through His creation, another person, a Dream, a Vision or with His small quiet voice.  So to tell a believer that they are foolish is a very judgemental statement, and in doing this they judge themselves.

Many have told me I'll believe there is a God when He comes back to strike me down, or after I die.  Well the bible says that will be too late, you will face eternal judgement in a place that keeps you uncontrollably uncomfortable, forever.  A place that keeps throwing all that you did against your creator God, back in your face, for eternity.  God says that He will say "I don't know you", because you simply didn't take the time to know Him, freely, while you had a chance.  While you are still on Earth you have the chance to get right with God and honour Him as king of your life.  Giving total sovereignty to Him over your humble life.

It seems to me that we are all fooling around with our eternal existence here.  Australia has fast become a Godless society, treating God as a foolish joke.  He is not a God that would interfere though.  He wants us to interact on the subject of who He is.  That is the main reason we are all on Earth, I believe.  To tell each other about our creator, and make that supreme eternal judgement for ourselves, is God a foolish thing or am I?

Is your heart hard?  Does it beat like a rock?

Because of what life has handed you, receiving a hard knock?

Don't take it out on God, or your fellow man.

Stand tall and straight, ask Jesus for a hand.

Lack of forgiveness is the key, you need to unlock the door.

Pray for release now, and you will hurt no more.

Because you've given it to God, He'll just threw it away.

Begin again, begin now, start a new day.

You know what, we all struggle with this, with hardness.

To soften it, it is God's Love we need to harness.

He will hold you where you are, no need to fight.

Let Him into your life, He knows what is right.

Let go of the hurt, let go of that one.

Then through the Holy Spirit you can meet the son.

Jesus is His name, and forgiveness is His life.

Be humble, wont you pray, let Him appease your strife.

He loves you and so do I, you see that is the secret.

Let Him work it out, I know that you can make it.

His greatest command is to love the one who hurt you.

But don't do that on your own, He can see it through.

Ask His Holy Spirit to come between you both.

Let His light, His love, His Father work through the Holy Ghost.
