"How long will you hand down unjust
decisions by favoring the wicked?” Ps. 82:2
“Yes, truth is gone, and anyone who
renounces evil is attacked.
The LORD looked and was
displeased to find there was no
justice.”
Is. 59:15
The deception is upon us. (2 Thess. 2: 11-12)
In a culture that embraces and honors relativism,
there is this absolute: Jn. 3:16-21
“God
loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who
believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into
the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through Him. There is
no judgment against anyone who believes in Him. But anyone who does not believe
in Him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only
Son. And the judgment is based on
this fact: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more
than the light, for their actions were evil. All who do evil hate the
Light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed. But those
who do what is right come to the Light so others can see that they are doing
what God wants.”
A friend who is searching for God recently wrote us this:
“I've always believe there is truth in All
religions and that spiritual contentment,
in whatever form, is whatever feeds our
soul.”
In this particular situation, our response had to be short and to the
point.
We answered:
“There is truth in
all religions. This is because there is only ONE God; the devil knows this
fact, and so he mixes truth with lie, making "it" palatable to the human
psyche.
~Just as the devil deceived
Eve by slightly misquoting God causing her to question God (Genesis 3), he
continues to use partial truths to deceive man today. There are only 2
religions: man reaching to God and God
reaching to man.
Jesus says, ‘I
am the way, the truth, and the life. No one
can come to the Father except through Me.’” (Jn. 4: 6)
This week, after a
more lengthy discussion, we were privileged to lead
this person, a
present-day witch, to Christ's joyous freedom. Praise You Jesus!
The deception is upon us. “With all these things
in mind, dear brothers and sisters, stand firm and keep a strong grip on the
teaching. … May our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, Who loved us
and by His grace gave us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope, comfort you and
strengthen you in every good thing you do and say.” 2 Thess. 2: 11-17
May God bless and protect us as we “live and
love” this week. ~Shaun and Betsy
