Life is about opportunity.

Opportunity is about having choices.

Choices involve making sacrifices.

Good choices are made when what is gained/retained exceeds in value over what is lost/exchanged.

(See Mark 8:35-37)

Jesus Saves

Satan Loses

And Humanity Chooses

Between the Two.


And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. <-----> Joshua 24:15

 

[wayfaring man]

God and good always win in the end; yet they sometimes temporarily appear to be weak and defenseless, in order to give the treacherously wicked an opportunity to reveal their true intentions.

For the mystery of iniquity does already work: only he who now lets will let, until he be taken out of the way.
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. <-----> 2nd Thessalonians 2:7-10

And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou were cold or hot.
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. <-----> Revelation 3:14-16

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Hebrews 13:5

 

[wayfaring man]

Once we've truly avowed our life to Jesus, He won't let us get away - with acting like we haven't.

When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee. <-----> Deuteronomy 23:21

 

[wayfaring man]

Ten will get you twenty

That money isn't funny

If it's high cost

Is to our great loss.

[wayfaring man]

In nature we find representations of good and evil...Not that God is both - But that free will allows for either.

(See Deuteronomy 30:19+20)

 

[wayfaring man]

We look good

Because we feel good

And we feel good

Because we do good

And we do good

Because The Lord has done great things for us !


When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD has done great things for them.
The LORD has done great things for us; whereof we are glad. <-----> Psalm 126:1-3
