My God Is Alive

God is alive and so is His Son. The questions I would think that come to mind here are: Is God dying, or Is my faith dying? God's Son did die and He himself did rise three days after. We have been misled by Satan, and he continues to mislead people down the path of destruction and despair. It has come in the guise of religion, fundamentalism, and even Christianity. Religion has claimed have the answers to the spiritual questions that come to mind, but it has become a cause for more confusion. There are a myriad of religions out there, and all of them claim that they have the only way to God. I hate to burst the bubbles of all these people, but the only way to God is through His Son, Jesus Christ. I have said fundamentalism, because there is so much confusion about what is right and wrong in Christianity. Confusion is one of Satan's greatest tactics to turn people away from God. Christianity is how we classify what we believe. The term, Christianity, has turned people away, because it has been considered a religion. I am in the process of reading C. S. Lewis' Mere Christianity, and finding out how he is defining Christianity in the simplest terms. I think that we do need to make what we believe simple, because if we don't we will send many more people to Hell.

Why Are We So Confused?

For some reason people confuse themselves by the simple things, and therefore think that they are lost. Life may seem to be a maze sometimes, but ultimately it is a maze created by us and not God. God is not the author of confusion, and He does not do anything that would cause confusion. It is when we start looking elsewhere for answer instead of the Word of God; that we create chaos in otherwise peaceful world. The true peace is found in Christ. It is not found in being in a zen state. All emptying your mind will do is just leave you feeling empty.


Another thing that causes confusion is anger. Anger can build up to dangerous levels, and it can so enrage us that it clouds our judgment. I know from experience that when I get angry that I can't think straight and I say things that can be hurtful.

"He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated."(Proverbs 14:17) We act as fools when we are angry.


"A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger."(Proverbs 15:1) When you are provoked, do not retaliate with hurtful words. I want you to step away from the situation, and think about how to deal with the situation in a manner that will ease the tension between the two parties involved.


"A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife."(Proverbs 15:18) I think that this verse echoes the same meaning as verse one of the same chapter.


"A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both. Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?"(Proverbs 27:3,4) Anger is very outrageous, and the more it is fueled, the more hurt that it causes.
