"By Illumination"

"To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever." (Psalms 136:7)

  I hope you received that message about God's power and wisdom, because that is the point that was being made: God knows what it is that we need, even before we need it, on every scale, from the basic need of you and I, to the expansive need of the entire universe. Basically, that means that we have absolutely nothing to worry about, including the changing climate! It is a complete tragedy how our kids are being used to push a very radical agenda. Those that are behind this new movement are causing panic and complete emotional hysteria in some children, making them seemingly hate their parents generation. Another thing about that post on yesterday, that the age of the earth can actually be an idol; if it is something that comes between us and the True God! The God of the Bible does not need for the earth to wait for Him to do this or that; He can simply say the word, and whatever it is that He wants to be done, is not only done, but it is made in the fashion it is meant to be made in. If you study the days of creation, each and every part of creation was completed being what it was meant to be on that particular day. Particularly, on the first day, in which God said, "Let there be light: and there was light." I think we forget sometimes that light and darkness are two separate things, because God also saw that the light was good, and then He divided the light from the darkness! You can think of that meaning a whole host of different things, most of which might involve the earth and the sun; but there is something Jesus said about light and darkness that makes it a little more personal; so much so, that it keeps people from wanting to get right with God. Excuse me for a moment, while I step out on another limb. The way I see it, the tree that was in the midst of the garden was something that closely resembled the Ten Commandments that God gave to Moses; both of them illuminated God's command, and in the process, also illuminated the darkness within man's heart. When sin is carried out, it produces death; maybe not a physical death, but a spiritual death, a disconnect between the relationship between the man or woman and their Creator. Does that then somehow make the tree and the Ten Commandments out to be idols? I guess it depends on the separation between the light and darkness in a persons heart. If they want to keep the sin hidden, then yes, whatever it was the drove them to sin is the idol; at least it is in their heart, as long as it keeps them from God. There is something that we must never forget, EVER! Our God's mercy endures for ever! It does not matter what you have done, He wants you to be made right; step out of the darkness and into the Light, and be made right; that's what He wants from you...

""God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God's one and only Son. And the judgment is based upon this fact: God's light came into the world, but people love the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed. But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants."" (John 3:17-21) NLT
