We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Help the religious pluralist see that he does not really believe that all roads lead to heaven. If he did, then he would not express outrage at suicide bombings, human sacrifice, and other such practices that even staunch religious pluralists find abhorrent. One cannot consistently embrace religious pluralism and relativism and at the same time object to any religious belief or practice. If sincerity is all that matters for salvation, religious terrorists who sincerely believe their god calls them to kill others do nothing wrong when they obey him. To condemn even one religious belief is to appeal to some ultimate, normative standard by which we may evaluate religion, establishing that standard as the one, true religion – and there can be no one, true religion for the honest religious pluralist.

If God would grant us the vision, the word “sacrifice” would disappear from our lips and thoughts; we would hate the things that seem now so dear to us; our lives would suddenly be too short; we would despise time-robbing distractions and charge the enemy with all our energies in the name of Christ. May God help us to judge ourselves by the eternities that separate the Aucas from a comprehension of Christmas, and Him, who, though He was rich, yet for our sakes became poor so that we might, through His poverty, be made rich. Lord God, speak to my own heart and give me to know Thy holy will and the joy of walking in it. Amen.

Lies

When I was young I used to believe everything that I heard, just what I heard.

But now the only thing that I can believe is god’s word, his holy word.

But even now my doubts will open up for me a world that I just despise.

And then the shades come down, the light turn off,

And I’m left alone with my helpless cries.

When I hear all his lies. all of the devil’s wicked lies.

If you believe and your faith just dies.

Don’t you be a fool, don’t you even open up,

Or expose yourself to just one of his wicked lies.

I want to go around the world and prove jesus lives, you know he lives.

And we’re not only friends, we’re family, we’re relatives, relatives.

But when I’m far from home and so alone, and my imagined fears get so
oversized.

That’s when I listen to the one no one should listen to, and get fooled by his
disguise.

Feeling weak from his lies, all of his bad wicked lies,

If you believe and your faith just dies.

Don’t you get fooled, don’t you even open up,

Or expose yourself to just one of his wicked lies.

If you’re well read, you probably know how the story goes.

That wolf can look so good especially dressed in the right clothes, the wooly
clothes.

And as he starts to knit the counterfeit he’ll totally make you feel like
you’re paralyzed.

He’ll keep you spun around and looking down,

Just when you should be looking straight to the skies.

Pleading help from his lies, all of the devil’s wicked lies.

If you believe and your faith just dies.

Don’t you be a fool, don’t you even open up, or expose yourself,

To one of his wicked lies, to one of his wicked lies.
