Man has been given a free will by God to make their own choices in life. Man can either live for themself or for God and others. Man can obey God and find everlasting eternal life with Him or they can choose the world and the things of it which offers nothing but emptyness.
2. Free Will…
Which means that man can choose to do
whatever he/she wants to do with their life. We
make hundreds of choices a day. We can choose
to believe in God Or not. We can choose to do
right or wrong such as, what to eat, how to
dress, what to say, where to go, how to
live, who or what to worship, etc., etc. Every
choice we make has an impact on
ourselves, other people, the world and even the
universe.
3. We can use a piano as a good example as to
what happens when we are negative or positive.
If a piano is out of tune it won’t be in
harmony, you strike a key and it sends out
waves that are broken up and disruptive, not in
tune with anything. If the piano is in tune it will
send out beautiful waves that are balanced and
not disruptive.
4. If you had a piano that was out of tune, would
you not call a piano tuner up to come and tune
your piano so it could play beautiful music?
Think of Jesus as the piano tuner and we are the
out of tune piano. We need to call on Him to
come and tune us up so we could be in perfect
harmony with God, the way God created us
before the fall.
5. This is what happens when we are out of tune, we send
out negative waves all through the world and the
universe. It’s like dropping a pebble in a calm lake. You
watch the ripple travel outward from all around where
you dropped the pebble. What happened here is that we
just disrupted that calm surface. The ripples, I’ll call
negative waves, are being sent out through the whole
universe, disrupting everything in it’s path. Positive
waves keep things calm, smooth and balanced. We are
happy when things are balanced in our life, at least until
the next negative wave comes rolling along. Practicing
equanimity is the only way to keep things balanced within
ourselves.
6. Look at what’s going on in the world today.
There’s a lot of negative waves flowing around
out there. The world is totally out of balance,
or should I say, “Out of Order”. Look at the
United States, it used to be the most powerful
country in the world. It’s lost it’s credibility
with the rest of the world, we keep seeing
recession after recession, we haven’t been able
to win a war in decades. What do you think
caused all this?
7. I’ll tell you what caused all this, the removal of God
from our country. If you read Deuteronomy 28, it will
tell you about the many blessings that God will bestow
on a country that observes His commandments, then
God tells you about the curses that He will bring on a
country that rebels against Him. It’s amazing how
patient God is, He doesn’t send fire and brimstone
right away. He sends us plenty of warning signs, that
tells us to change our ways or face the consequences.
Gods consequences are not pleasant as you can see
what happened to the Jews in the Old Testament.
8. Corruption, greed, hate, immorality, violence, suicide,
killings, etc., etc. These things are growing at a pace
where we can’t even keep up with it. These things just
didn’t happen over night. It’s been a slow process
through the years. As these things grow and we are
more exposed to them, a change takes place to
mankind. Man becomes more desensitized to the
conditions that are going on around him/her. It
becomes more accepted and a lot less painful when
something immoral happens. Pride is the mother of all
sin. Pride gives birth to the other 6 Deadly Sins.
9. God Bless You and please pray for EVERYONE, no
matter what they have done and Please Pray For
Peace. Thank You
