Preface: This was written due to the continuous assault by "Christians in Name Only" -- CINOs. It is not for my brethren here at RITAN -- who I love. Jesus Walked Amongst Us Today Children, I passed by to visit today, And was concerned with what I saw, I thought when I gave my life on the Cross, That I did away with the Judaic Law. Yes, I came by to visit my Bride, To see how she presented me before man’s eyes, But the doctrine espoused startled me, It could confound the studied and the wise. I perceive that My Blood is in question, That is was not sufficient to atone, This, I admit, disturbed me greatly, As it did our Father on the Throne. I also noticed a disturbing new trend, Which mistakes “tolerance” for love, These two should never be confused, For “tolerance” seeks to destroy everything from Above. If you remember when I walked this earth, That I clearly stated I brought a sword, The words I spoke created a divide, Demarcating hedonistic pleasure from reward. I now just have one question for you: How can my word effectively proceed, When you sit all day typing at a keyboard, Mistaking YOUR opinion as some good deed? Arguing with others over semantics, Nit-picking over some hurt feeling, It is creating a roadblock that need not exist, For this world is in dire need of healing. Children, the hour is very late, The Rapture is almost at hand, I need you to push away from that computer, And go outside and make a stand. Your neighbor is lost to the world, Their soul is on the fence, Do you really think that your self-centered opinions, In the BIG SCHEME really make any sense? Really? Think about it. More: You think you are being My watchdog, And protecting My every word, But the pride, arrogance, and calling of names, Is really quite absurd! Is this how you lead my flock? Are your really edifying the innocent sheep? You seem more concerned about being “right”, Than other benefits that you might reap. When you enter into your forums, You should check your ego at the door, If your only purpose is to exalt yourself, Then your objective will never win the war. Look UP! I am here! I am the Alpha and Omega, And the Creator of the hemisphere. Stop the petty quarrels, Direct your energy to saving a soul, All the infighting is not productive, And is taking quite a toll. Let us look up friends and rejoice about the paradise we will soon enter. Your pal, Humbly Maybe not for generally for RITANs, Humbly, but a couple chides kinda' cut to the quick. Ouch! Thanks! I'm with you there MyWhite Stone -- that is why I preface this with the statement that this was "not for my brethren here at RITAN — who I love." I try to reflect inward on what type of person I am and what type of person I should be -- and unfortunately some of those "chides" are also for me. We can't just read the Word and talk the faith, we need to also walk the faith. It is hard to do sometimes because our human nature is selfish and self-seeking. The type of person I really want to be is the quiet person in the corner who is filled with the strength of the Lord to do His will and emit His light onto others from that dark corner. I never want to call attention to myself other than seeking to help and encourage others through the power that the Holy Spirit imbues to me. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't ever want to be the center of attention -- I always want attention centered on Jesus! However I can assist in my human frailty to track toward that goal is what I try to do on a daily basis. But being human, I don't succeed as often as I wish I could. God bless you my friend! Humbly Humble thyself in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. A wise life's policy for all of us to adopt, Humbly.
