Everyone wants to be a hero, and men find many ways to play the part.
The author of “The Silent Revolution” suggests you can be
part of a company of important and genuine problem solvers of the world,
ushering in a New Age, no less. The real problem, however, which the
author exhibits, is pride and independence of God, and this is the reason
for the many problems that plague the world in the first place. Only
God, through Jesus Christ, can fix us, and He will.
“Most men will proclaim each his own goodness,
but a faithful man who can find?” (Proverbs 20:6 MKJV)
In this sappy story, we have a fornicating, lying, self-serving
scoundrel who tells us that, despite his sins, he is a good man. After
being caught with his pants down, so to speak, he continues to play the
hero. It is only in the land of make-believe Christianity, however, that
one can retain his or her virtue as a sinner. The Kingdom of Heaven is
comprised of the truly forgiven and grateful, unprofitable servants of
God.
Is God dependent on man’s goodness to get His message and saving power
to those He desires to receive it? Meet two fictional characters who think
so. Their story is intended to inspire you to perform good deeds, but the real
tale is a tragedy of unbelief and misplaced confidence.
This story reveals, unintentionally, what goes on in seminaries. The result is an indictment against the religious ways of man, as contrasted with the holy ways of God.
People use various motivational tools to convince and lead others into works
of various kinds. Sappy stories with spiritual elements are a choice tool of
the religious to get people to join them in a “witness for God.” This
kind of witnessing has nothing at all to do with God. In this example we expose
these corrupt machinations of men and declare the truth of God that makes free.
We know that many in today’s world go without the basic physical necessities of life. What is not realized is how many go without the one basic necessity for a fulfilling life. Man does not live by bread alone. In this writing we answer a mass circulated email that gives a superficial and misleading response to the problems confronting mankind.
Does the Kingdom of God come by man’s gentle persuasion and attractive qualities? Or is it another matter altogether? Consider some questions, and see what the answer is for yourself, Lord willing.
Here is a story that twists together fact and fiction, lies and truth, light
and darkness, in order to take what is sweet and leave out what is bitter.
A concocted happy ending leads to a devastating real one.
Using God's Name has provided people with a great palate on which to paint
whatever pleases them. God can do whatever we want, right? They pass these
imaginative deceptions along to others who may be similarly pleased with the
escapism from Reality and hard Truth. The lies told in God's Name do not make
those go away, they only seal off the way to man's only sure Hope.
Fluffy wishes that stand in denial of reality do enough harm on their own,
but when these messages propose to be from God Himself, they do even greater
evil. What does God have to say about these messages? And where is true hope
found?
