Our Supreme Sin AND Our Only Deliverance
“He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.” June 1:10
Dr. A.W. Tozer once posed a troubling question: What is the supreme sin of a profane society?” He found his answer in John 1:10. Though Jesus made the world, and actually came into the world, the world still does not see Him, feel Him, respect Him, or know Him. “Surely,” Tozer said, “this is the great curse that lies upon mankind today – men are so wrapped up in their godless world that they refuse the:
Light that Shines, the
Voice that Speaks, and the
Presence that Pervades
On the other hand, how wonderful when we do know Him! When He is Lord of our lives, we have
Order Restored,
Hope Renewed, and
Eternity Assured!
And furthermore:
Rather than drifting, we have a North Star.
Rather than despairing we have purposeful direction.
Rather than hell, we have heaven.
It is a fearful thing to be arrogant in the face of God, “but as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name” (John 1:12).
“See Then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil” (Ephesians 5: 15-16).
“Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how to answer every man” (Colossians 4:5-6).

FYI:
Joy does not depend merely on circumstances. Happiness is the world’s cheap imitation of Christian joy. Happiness is dependent on happenings, on “hap,” which is another word for “luck.” When we have “joy,” it can be our constant possession because it does not depend on the circumstances of the day.
Read II Corinthians 12: 16-30 where Paul lists a few of the things he endured by the strength of genuine joy in his life. Paul understood what most modern men do not, that joy and pain are often compatible emotions.
So, go forth today renewed and Spirit empowered, walking in His Light without any dark corners to reduce your vision or perspective. >>>>>>> merlin
