At some point in the past seven or eight years, I have been told to abandon this blogging thing. I was told this by some well-meaning people but I cannot stop doing this because it is as much my job as being a preacher is. God called me to do this and until He stops me, I will continue. Last night, I wrote an article about my early life and it caused me to think about why I do this and who I am doing this for. It is not for myself, it is for anyone who will read and be searching for their Savior specifically. I do this for the same reason that I preach.
God gives each of us a talent or an ability and if we belong to Him, we should use it for His Kingdom and glory. There are many in the world who are using their talents for making money or to push a cause forward that they believe in. My cause is the cause of Jesus and why He came to Bethlehem so long ago. Why am I trying to push this cause out into the world?
Because the world matters to God and each of you who read this matters to God which is why Jesus was sent to die on the cross and rise again! God could look through the ages and see that mankind would need a Savior and the only Person Who could fill that job was One of the Godhead.
Mankind, then and now, is predisposed to sin in some form in this world. We are hard-wired this way because of the sins past down through the lineage of Adam. Whether you believe that we are created in God’s image or not makes little difference. The point is this: our ancestors rebelled against the way that God had set things up. Even though they had everything at first, they were tempted to seek a way that put them in charge rather than God. We have been doing this ever since then.
Why? Because we are stubborn and like little children, we want to do it our way.
God knew this and He saw it coming. Although He could’ve put a stop to it He didn’t. People have been asking why for thousands of years. The only reason that I have been able to grasp from my Bible study is that God has always allowed a choice to His creation. Even the angels had a choice of serving Him. But why did God do this? Because of His love for His creation, that is why.
Taking “choice” away from angels or humanity would make us and the angels more like animals living by instinct than created beings with a soul. God has always wanted fellowship with His creation and that is something that only comes by voluntarily worshipping Him. Make sure of your relationship by seeking Him today because He is waiting for you…patiently.
The Living Message of Christ 
Do morning Tracy, and happy Easter. You and i both have a passion for exressing our ideas using c[q~”]eative mediums like writing, singing, blogging, and, sometimes, by acceping the challenge to go outide of the box to find /ual truth. I write to not only bringforth the message of salvation, but to communicae to the morally declining world that there i light hidden in the shadows of darkness. I have come that show others the glory of the gospel, and the hard reality of Satan’s existence and nature. God has used the gifts I have gained through my academic and Biblical studies to inspire others during the coronavirus, and to contribute to the kingdom of God. From the wisest words of a Psalm, to the vivid words of poetry, to the beauty of a song, to the dramatic atmosfhere of a play, to the relevance of a written documentary. I am almost done working on a project called “Satan Visits the Church”, and it is a very heartbreaking yet eye-opening piece that challenges us to examine the scandals of famous televangelists through various angles, aside from the obvious claim that one is a false teacher. There are several culturel, political, and historical factors that contribute to the proposed “success” of these pastors. It should be finished by exam week.
