God Is Not Mocked  . . .

Reading the news this morning with a cup of coffee (full of great antioxidants!) made me realize how very much our nation is in need of a revival of hearts and minds that believe in God and trust His word, and are not afraid to let the world know it!

Let me share with you just a very small sampling of this morning’s top news stories:

• Death toll soars in massive 7.8 magnitude China earthquake, up to 8,500 dead – nearly 900 students buried in rubble

• Twister havoc leaves trail of death, destruction across U.S. Plains and the South

• Les. U. Knight, spokesman for the voluntary human extinction movement (VHEMT) said the greenest habit humans can have is to prevent creation of another member of the species, reducing humanity’s ecological footprint on the earth. “The ultimate goal (of the movement) is one I will never see,” Knight said. “I will never see the day that there are not humans on the planet.” When asked about the size of the group, Knight says, “There must be several million people who have arrived at the conclusion that we would be better off without humans.”

• Teen suffers severe burns in “blowtorch game.”

·    Girls’ gang sets deadly home blasts over boy.

·    5 Bodies, including 3 children found in Texas home.

·     Nearly 2,000 bare all in stadium art project.

·    Teen gets MRSA from lip piercing . . . almost dies.

·    Three men die in “detergent suicide” pact.

 

The first two incidents are natural disasters and every one of us can sympathize and hopefully come to the aid of those whose lives are affected. Certainly the Bible teaches us to do that. Paul told the Galatians, “And let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith” (Galatians 6:9-10).

 The next seven newsworthy (?) stories are the result of God creating man as a free moral agent. Man can decide not to procreate if he wants to. Young people can decide to play with fire, blow up houses, get a lip piercing and develop a deadly disease if they want to. People are free to “bare all” in an art project in a sports stadium, murder their families, or take their own lives.

 People are free to make stupid, selfish, destructive choices every day. The prevailing cultural attitude is that every man can do what is right in his own eyes. The real truth, however, is that God will never be fooled for one minute. “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” (Galatians 6: 7).

 The Greek word for “mocked” in this verse, literally means, “turn nose up” or to “snub” God. One can only “snub” God for a short time. “For it is written, ‘As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God.’ So then each of us shall give account of himself to God” (Romans 14: 11-12). I often wonder how the daily news would change if people really believed that they would give an account to God for their moment of glory?
