Boxing with the Blind

Boxing with the Blind

Sometimes, it can be so easy to go back & forth trading [social] blows. People can be flat out wrong in their views, ways &/or beliefs & then have the nerve to try & tell you how to live or condemn you for something they feel is wrong in your life. It can be real tempting at this point to "stick it" to such people & tell them how you really feel. You want to show them the "log that's in their own eye" (Luke 6:42) & teach them a lesson so that they never dare go there with you again.

But after you let 'em have it, you'll actually feel terrible. Especially when your opponents are just plain ignorant.

As believers, we know the Truth. And those who live godly understand walking in the light (1 John 1:7). This isn't true for those who are still plugged into the world; those still walking in darkness...blinded by the Evil One (2 Timothy 2:26). Know that this group can include professed "believers."

So remember all of this the next time you're hurt by someone and made angry; when you're tempted to [socially] throw a punch at a blind person. I think we all know that knocking out a person who can't see isn't really something to brag or feel good about.

"Evolution"

There is one type of evolution (e.g. apes to humans) which is completely false and dishonoring to God. However, there is another type (e.g. environmental adaptation) which is perfectly plausible and actually demonstrates the genius in God’s creativity!

Likewise, when it comes to our faith [in Yeshua], we should not “evolve” to the point where we completely abandon our beliefs and jump from one religion to another. Nor should we be ever-changing within our own faith and believing each new thing that sounds good for the moment (Ephesians 4:14).

However, “evolving” in our understanding of the Messiah is perfectly healthy and encouraged! The Apostle Paul wrote about us “being conformed to the image of His Son” (Romans 8:29). In this sense, we should definitely be changing and growing. In fact…if you still believe, think, speak and act the same way today as you did 3 or more years ago, you should probably be asking yourself some probing questions.

Watch Out For False Prophets!

Yehovah Calls (spoken word poem)

Blinded by our own desires
We love to gaze at false fires (Lev. 10:1)
With itching ears we listen to liars (2 Tim 4: 3)
teachers, preachers, pastors and prophets for hire

We were warned by the Holy One
that such wolves were sure to come (Matt. 7:15)

But if you are deceived then why would you believe
that those tongues were just for fun;

That those "miracles" were the devil's magic,
entertaining you so that he can wreak havoc,
in your homes, in your head
in your dreams while you're in bed

And it's not just you he seeks to devour,
he wants your spouse, your children
and anyone else with power

The power to crush his head (Gen. 3:15)
with the might of the One Who bled
so that we might be free...no longer slaves
to sickness, sin and disease

Wake up Church, rise up ya'll,
The One True God Yehovah calls!

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only the one who does the will of My Father Who is in Heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you who are lawless!’

- Matthew 7:21-23

I was quite disturbed when I first saw a trailer for Birth of a Nation; a movie written, produced and directed by Nate Parker. I was even more disturbed by the number of professing Christians supporting and promoting the film when it was released. To me, the film has "devil" written all over it. In short, the movie is antichrist. It goes directly against a number of things Messiah taught and stood for.

From the trailer and description, you see the Gospel made of no effect. You see a boy raised up on the Word of God and due to manipulation, violence and brutality from a particular group, this young man turns his back on what he learned from the Messiah and pursues what he now believes to be a more "effective" means of liberation. From this film, viewers are encouraged to question whether or not the teachings of Yeshua are actually relevant. Young black men are devilishly urged to question whether or not the Judaeo-Christian faith is even for them. The age-old thought is planted in their minds that Christianity is just the "white man's religion" which he put on young African males in order to keep them under control.

A brief glance at history will show you that the murderous actions during Nat Turner's revolt merely led to more murder. The dark notion that black men were savages was simply reinforced and white slave owners meted out what they believed to be due justice as a result. Hundreds of blacks were brutally killed in the aftermath and many of them had nothing to do with the slave rebellion.

The children of Israel were in slavery in Egypt for 400 years (Acts 7:6). We know from God's talk with Moses (Exodus 3:7) that Yehovah heard their outcries due to their suffering. Though deliverance never came in the lifetime of many individuals, it most assuredly came for Israel as a people, in God's own time. As horrible as life in this age can be, a very important thing is to learn to TRUST Yehovah in all circumstances and never doubt His character or His resolve. Vengeance is His and He will repay and deliver in His own time (Deuteronomy 32:35).
