SPIRITUAL DIARY FOR 4/25/2019 9:18 AM
My Worship Time
Focus: PT-2
“The Depraved Mind”
Bible Reading & Meditation Reference: Eph. 4:17-19
Message of the verses: “17 This I say
therefore, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as
the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind, 18 being darkened in
their understanding, excluded from the life of God, because of the ignorance
that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart; 19 and they, having
become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality, for the practice of
every kind of impurity with greediness.”
One
of the great problems in people’s lives today is that they think that they know
better than what God knows, and therefore they can do things that go directly
against what God has written in His Word.
Sexuality is one of the things that have gone rampant in our
society. As we look at the beginning of
the Word of God we see that God made one man out of the dust of the earth, and
then later on put the man asleep in order to perform the first operation on the
earth in which God took one of Adam’s ribs in order to make Eve who became
Adam’s wife. One man and one woman and
from that we understand that this is how God centered marriages are to be, and
yet in our society today we have people who say that they do not know which sex
they are to which I say just take a look at your birth certificate. We have homosexual marriages that are common
in our society which also goes directly against God’s laws. People wonder why there is there so much
mental health issues in our world today and the answer lies in that people have
gone against what God has written in His Word.
I have mentioned in many of my SD’s that one of the greatest problems in
our world today lies in the false theory of evolution. Evolution teaches that we are just an
accident and therefore are not accountable to God. Evolution is impossible, it could never happen. Think of the big bang theory where it says
that everything began with a small ball and then the ball continued to grow
into what we have today. My question to
these misguided scientists is “where did the ball come from.” When God created the world and that includes
the rest of the universe He made it out of nothing, that is something out of
nothing and the way that He did this was by speaking. Ex
nihilo is the word in the Bible which means something out
of nothing so that tells me that the atheistic who began the theory of the big
bang theory are wrong, along with all of those who believe that the earth is
billions of years old are wrong. It is a
scam created by Satan in order to think we are an accident. It was a few years back that I sat in a Bible
Study and heard a man called Bill Glass, who has a wonderful prison ministry,
speak. He talked of many things and one
of them was about his Rolex watch. He
said that he did not buy it but it was given to him as some kind of reward. His point was that this Rolex watch had to
have a designer in order for it to function, and then spoke about God being the
designer of the earth along with the rest of the stars and planets we see. He is right and if people would start
believing what God says to them in His Word then many of the awful problems we
are facing today would be a lot less harmful to us.
John MacArthur writes Ergasia
(practice) can refer to a business enterprise, and that idea could apply
here. The ungodly person often makes
business out of “every kind of impurity.”
A Christian leader commented some years ago that many of the books
published in the United States today rival the drippings of a broken
sewer. Yet pornography, prostitution,
X-rated films, suggestive TV programs, and ‘every kind of impurity’ form
perhaps the largest industry in our country.
The vast majority of majority of it is open, unashamed, and legally
protected.”
Spiritual meaning for my life
today: The world that I live in
today is so very much different than the world that God created around 6000
years ago. After His completion of
planet earth God said that it was very good, and it was very good. I live in a world of de-evolution, and not
evolution as things are getting worse by the day, and yet as I have been
studying the book of Revelation for the last 19 plus months, teaching it in our
Sunday school class, I know that things will continue to get worse and worse
and then when you think that it can’t get any worse the Lord Jesus Christ will
return to planet earth and set up His promised kingdom and the earth that will
be much like the original creation that He made as seen in Genesis 1-2.
My Steps of Faith
for Today: To continue to learn humility, realizing that
God is the One who is in charge, and I am to follow His teachings.
Bible
verse that goes along with D. L. Moody’s quotation from yesterday: “With men this is impossible, but with God
all things are possible” (Matthew 26:19).
