I remember a guy named Mike who took issue with my Christian faith. And he let me know that on my Facebook page. He’s an example of something that goes on probably every hour of every day. The very people who preach tolerance and diversity are almost always the ones who love to pick fights with, and have no tolerance for, Christians. Why? Because we dare say there’s a God of creation.
Yeah, some of us even dare to pray to God and say things like, “Thank you, Lord. Because you have given me life.”
How dare we say that?!
Especially in a public forum where it can offend so many.
Well, it’s because we love the God of creation.
Because He loved the whole world enough to make a way for anybody who wants it to live forever. But God does have his precepts. So, you better find out more about them before you commit to saying you love the God of creation.
What are precepts? General rules for life.
And in the context of your relationship with your Creator, they’re the only rules that matter. When God says do something or don’t do something, it’s not because He just enjoys making up rules to see if you can keep them. He knows you can…but mostly don’t. Still, He cares about your health and well-being and your life. And He knows, better than you or me, how to live the healthiest, strongest life. That’s why King David wrote: “I will never forget your precepts, for by them You have given me life.
David understood that God created Him. He understood that his Creator knows more about us than we know about ourselves. And if your Creator says A,B,C and 1,2,3 are the healthiest, safest ways to live, it’s a good idea to pay attention.
A world of no precepts, no general rules for life, quickly becomes what you can see America turning into right now. My friend, Greg, has been posting a meme that says when you import the Third World, you become the Third World. In fact, you can see evidence of this downward slide in all parts of the world right now. Each passing day more and more people want nothing to do with the one, true, living, loving God of creation. And each passing day the world becomes a more and more unpleasant dangerous place.
All Of Creation
All of creation points to the Savior.
We are all here by design.
All the environment and complex behavior…
The Glory of God makes it shine.
All of creation holds information…
Encoded within every cell,
All of the best minds in each generation
Won’t banish what Christians know well.
That…(Chorus)
All of creation is here by the Word of God.
And all of creation mirrors His mind.
All of creation is saved by the Love of God
All of creation…Jesus defined. © TF 2020
