…that Holy One who is to be
born will be called the Son of God. —Luke 1:35
“God’s Son is born into me
through the direct act of God; then I as His child must exercise the right of a
child— the right of always being face to face with my Father through prayer. […] Am I simple enough to
identify myself with my Lord in this way? […] Is God’s will being fulfilled in
that His Son has been formed in me (see Galatians 4:19), or have I carefully
pushed Him to one side? […] People today are crying out for the Son of God to
be put to death. There is no room here for God’s Son right now— no room for
quiet, holy fellowship and oneness with the Father.” CHAMBERS
That is what our culture is
crying out … “Crucify Him”. I listened
to the history of France’s falling away from God at church yesterday. About how
their culture entered into an age of reason. It goes from “Thus sayeth the Lord”
to “Did God really say” to “Is there really a God?” to “There is no God.” I
thought about this country. We are on
the same path. Yet there are other
places on this planet where people are hungry for the truth. If the light of Christ continues to burn in
this land it will be because the Church and the Saints who collectively make up
the Church, draw close to God … we deepen our relationship with Him through the
Word, Worship, and Prayer.
We are all
living a part in an eternal play. Each of
us has their role to fulfill. It is not
the country that needs Jesus, it’s the people in the country that need
Jesus. Your life must be quietly shouting
the Gospel out. “There is a God in
heaven and He loves you. There is an answer and His name is Jesus!” He is
the answer to what they are seeking and cannot find. Not all will receive the
Truth, but we already know that don’t we.
Ok, the lights have dimmed and the curtain is going up … you’re on! CHARLEY
