Sin is a ridiculous pursuit. Sin is a ridiculous pursuit when you consider the Divine alternative. Divine order! God! It is ridiculous to pursue human devices as your life's pursuit. The reward for ridiculous pursuits is death. Most of us are better practitioners and pursuers of the ungodly options (sin) than Divine design and order. Romans 7:19 (Amplified Bible) 19 For I fail to practice the good deeds I desire to do, but the evil deeds that I do not desire to do are what I am [ever] doing. God’s mission is designed to bring order thru any Divine means necessary. The most ridiculous Sin is a rejection of God. The most ridiculous Sin is a rejection His divine order not tried. GK Chesterton stated "Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried". The human pursuit of War, Global warming, pollution, racism is a ridiculous occupation. It is logical to entertain and implement human order. But it is not rationale and reasonable. War, Global warming, pollution, racism are logical outcomes. But War, Global warming, pollution, racism are not rationale and reasonable. Their pursuit is ridiculous! Every year 15 million children die of hunger. For the price of one missile, a school full of hungry children could eat lunch every day for 5 years. 3 billion people in the world today struggle to survive on US$2/day. Romans 12:1 I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship.
It is ridiculous to pursue human devices as your life's pursuit. Because the reward falls short of God glory. Because the reward is death. Alienation from God. Romans 6:23 (Amplified Bible) 23For the wages which sin pays is death, but the [bountiful] free gift of God is eternal life through (in union with) Jesus Christ our Lord. Your life without God has it's temporal rewards. Your life with God has it's eternal reward. God! Proverbs 14:12 (Amplified Bible) 12There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him, but at the end of it is the way of death.
The problems you solve determine the rewards you receive. What you do daily determines what you become permanently. Philippians 3:19 (Amplified Bible) 19They are doomed and their fate is eternal misery (perdition); their god is their stomach (their appetites, their sensuality) and they glory in their shame, siding with earthly things and being of their party.
You are God's daily pursuit. Make God your daily pursuit. God’s mission is designed to bring order thru any Divine means necessary. Your mission is to recognize His order. In other words you should be able to recognize a move of God. The Second assignment is creating a movement of God. Your mission is to manage divine order in your life, home, community, region. " Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried". A pursuit of a life with or without God is found difficult. The rewards are different. Choose you this day who you will pursue.
One of God's obsessions is order. Pain is an indication of disorder. Pain is not your enemy but merely the proof that you have one. The energy and time you use to practice human order can be broken by daily divine practices. Successful men do daily what unsuccessful men do occasionally. I am calling for daily divine practices to replace human practices.
God is calling us to be divine order opportunity managers. Ultimately, their is futility in your pursuit of ridiculous sin. You assignment may be to discover the predictable problems of tomorrow today. Discover the spiritual infrastructure that can answer the Communication, Human being, Financial, Physical infrastructural problems. God’s mission is designed to bring order thru any Divine means necessary. His resources are bountiful.
Learn the laws that govern God and man. preempt the the laws that govern man. Know the rules. Hear, read all the passages on His laws, stand on the Word, mediate day and night, see the word, believe, trust, mediate, reading , keep the Word, keeping the word in your heart, read books on the Word, listen to CDs, tapes
