I opened my mail to write this conviction. I saw an article churches scouts some leave some stay who's right? I did of even read it. Leave that to you.

But it's a sign of the times. These are the days just like Noah. I read genesis part night or parts I read James. I saw a boat with a sign Olla said issues.

Yes I have issues. My child just broke an arm falling on a playground I was seconds away I could not help just watch and run over after the fall. I had prayed to God for something to make my wife pay more attention to what was really going on. She was parking I waived her over I have dealt with the question why did God let my child fall?

Why did He let us fall? My child ran to the highest thing because he saw a bug in the slide. As I opened my mouth to say stop wait till I come over it was.

Thing is my child had played on similar playgrounds all the time in school done worse just touched a wet piece of metal fell wrong but the choice I did not know until after had been his afraid of a bug on the safe slide he ran for the monkey bars first dad a second behind.

Maybe that's How God viewed our fall with horror and resignation it was over.

The thing is God said don't eat eve ate because it appealed to her eyes stomach and pride. Sound like today why people do what they do.

God said scatter they build babel. God said worship in truth and spirit we get rules and tradtioms wash the outer cup the under nerds cleaned. We take pride in buildings worship works.

But god said we are wretched poor blind naked until you realize you are helpless you don't seek the only help that matters Jesus. How many say Jesus but don't seek Him. Seek to buy Gold tried in fire, white rainment eye salve.

Mostly I get told like Lot who are you you came to visit why judge us. I don't even tell others hey don't drink a case of beer etc I just don't drink around them and say no thank you.

I do say tv is godless chatter and get that I am dramatic.

Ok my point Jesus said follow Him. The narrow path. James says show me your works to show your faith.

What? Works no! God saves us by grace through faith nothing we do saves. Whew! But wait faith that saves abiding faith produces a change a conviction of our inherent sinful nature our inability to do good with our hands and efforts. But it also produces fruit. It produces a change that causes us to want to come out of the world to be seperate and holy before a holy God.

That's where people do not want to walk. They say Jesus on Sunday and forget about Him till next week. The bible says our fight is not carnal physical but a casting down of argument against God. A personal capturing of all thoughts to Christ.

I am on a fishing charter now typing this my wife wants fish. Everyone around me is talking about their boats their catches I can just think how horrible I feel inside I don't want to be here in the flesh anymore. I was long at a new piece of gear last night really need ten of these?

I am broken in heart seeing a child tumble seconds away I can feel God the same. He knew I did not.

He's ok a few weeks in a cast. But our issue since Adam takes a cure that always is mortifying the flesh. A sorrowful humble contrite heart convicted by the spirit to repent and come out from the world seperate unto God saves the spirit through Jesus grace and power not our own effort that was the law.

I cannot get anyone around me to talk meat. They want baby milk. It that others are lactose intolerant. The fact is the Holy Spirit is all the glue holding this together.

I feel like Lot people think I am mocking and laugh when I say Jesus is coming we need to focus on that.

Ease my sorrow Lord bless all those watching forgive my sins heal my soul.

Please Jesus is coming leave the plains now head for His mountain.

Pick up your cross follow Jesus home. By His spirit we are to mortify our fish and its desires that is saving faith no other!
