A Word from Papa “J”
The cause and effect principle simply means that the effort one puts into a purpose or project will produce a result. Such as; a sluggard will be rewarded with a little over nothing, while the more diligent will prosper. However to both the sluggard and the diligent there remains the freedom of choice. Fate has nothing to do with being lazy or alert. Proverbs 13:4
Good Morning
Once as a firefighter I witnessed what was only a training exercise a few days earlier. Those few days earlier a bunch of us firefighters were watching a training video of water being disbursed at a very hot fire. Water is still the best substance to put out a fire, but it must be used properly or it does not work.
If the hose was lifted so that the water made an arch to land on top of the fire, the water never made it to the fire in that it would turn to steam first and dissipate into the air. In order for the water to be effective it had to be aimed more directly at the fire which meant that the firemen needed to be closer to the flame.
When the mill in the next town south caught fire a few days later several fire departments went to the largest fire that I had ever seen. Water from every truck there was being disbursed. I saw ladder trucks with the ladders to the peak disbursing water only to see it turn to steam before hitting the fire. Literally the mill burned itself out and our efforts for those three days were of little effect. The only part of the building left standing was the elevator shaft.
Here is the rub: Our resources, careers and our American ingenuity have failed to rid our nation of NATIONAL SIN. The truth is in the results of this day in the lives of us; the citizens. Our economy is broke, our families are immorally corrupt, our government affirms liberal life-styles, and our medical resources are a complete waste of money. We are about burned out.
We are now a nation of deterioration and decline. We have exhausted our human effort like so much steam rising from body waste on a cold day.
Is there an answer to this limited effort of the works of man? Absolutely! Otherwise, I would go down to the local bar and join the ranks of millions of Americans who have been duped into believing that body waste is better than prayer and to shut God out of their lives is the answer to all of America’s problems.
Did you know that the apostle James, who is the half-brother of Jesus Christ, made a statement in his epistle that is prophetic to our current events in America today? Here it is.
Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth eaten. Your gold and silver are corrupted, and that corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days. Indeed the wages f the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the reapers have reached the LORD of Sabaoth. James 5:1-4 We must use prayer properly or it will not work.
We as a nation need to turn back to God. Notice: Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sin. James 5:19-10
The brethren need to pray for this nation and the sinner back to God, in doing so we might salvage our national heritage, if we do not Nineveh will witness against us at the judgment seat of Christ in the near future. Matthew 12:38-42
