On God and Man

I am convinced that, in the near future, a lot of people who advertise themselves as Christians will wake up dead and gone to hell.
The basic requirement to avoid this fate is a belief in Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God. There is, though, a difference between saying it and believing it, A BIG difference.
Here's how you can tell one from the other. The true believer will do the things that Jesus said we ought to do. And yes, he or she will screw up sometimes - but he will be trying and you will be able to see that if you want to look.
Now, all that being said, let's address something that is a particular thorn in my side: the tendency for so-called Christians to refuse the truth Of God's wisdom and power and to refuse to trust that He can manage His affairs.
When Jesus left us here, He left specific instructions.

Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost

Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature

Luke 24:46: And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

47: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

My friends, God had the power to create the universe. He had the power to create time. He made you. And you don't think He can manage His own affairs? If He wants prayer in schools, there will be prayer in schools. If He wants His commandments in the courthouse, they will be there. And on and on.

Just do your job, okay? Preach the gospel. He did NOT tell you to demonstrate. He did not command you to "civil disobedience." In fact, He told you to obey man's law.

Trust Him. He developed a plan, wrote it down and gave it to us. It describes the things that are happening even as you read these words. Those things are a part of His plan.

Who are you to try to defeat His plan? Who are you to try to delay it?

TRUST HIM.

We have not the capacity to understand what He's about - just trust Him and do exactly what He told you to do.
