Three Great Jesus Quotes

Three Great Quotes About Jesus Christ

“Whatever may be the surprises of the future, Jesus will never be surpassed” – Ernest Renan

“I know men, and I tell you, Jesus was not a man. Superficial minds see a resemblance between Christ and the founders of empires and the gods of other religions. This resemblance does not exist…Jesus Christ alone founded His empire upon love, and at this hour millions would die for Him. In every other existence but that of Christ, how many imperfections.” – Napoleon Bonaparte

“Christianity is the greatest proof of Christ’s deity, because He as its head measures up the highest standard of deity.” – J. Oswald Sanders

Not Called to Make the World a Better Place

Pop-Music Philosophy

“If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change.” – Michael Jackson

I hear many Christians today saying “we want to make the world a better place.” Of course this is noble and is an effort to be admired but I think this sentiment is ill advised. The reason I say this is not because I don’t think that the world needs to be better. It is not because I don’t wish it were better. Frankly I think the world is an absolute mess.

The reason I think this world-view is ill advised is because it is not in step with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Jesus does not want to make the world a better place. Jesus is actually displacing the world with himself and his new humanity.

The idea that the world will be made better by us being kinder or more generous doesn’t reflect reality.

This World-System Has No Future

Imagine its 1943 in Nazi Germany and the Germans started saying “let’s make Nazi Germany a better place.” At the peak of the war crimes, the killings, the concentration camps. That is the equivalent of us saying it today in comparison to what is coming in Jesus Christ. Surrender to the coming regime of Jesus Christ is the only option. But not a physical military surrender an inner spiritual surrender. Until that happens, if billions are in rebellion to the real Lord of the earth, this world should not be “made better.”

It’s not reform we are pushing for in the world it’s a conquering nonviolent displacement of Satan.

The world will not be better until Jesus Christ (and not Satan) is absolute Lord. This world as we know it has absolutely no future. I want to make Jesus Lord of heaven AND EARTH. Because this world is still being run by satanic systems and forces.

Our governmental, religious, economic, entertainment, and educational systems are still dominated and controlled by satanic forces. Some of them reluctantly tolerate Christian influence begrudgingly and only if we are kept at the bottom of their hierarchies.

Make the World…Surrendered to Him

Maga

Editing our philosophy to live by.

The only thing that I want to see the world become is subject and surrendered to the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. Anything less than that is just pop music.

In My 20s

Refusing to Listen In My 20s

I remember being in my 20s there were things I refused to listen to older people about. I refused to listen because of certain other things I saw and did not like in their lives. Most of the time it was people in the age group near 40 to 45 years old.

Certain older people will come into your life briefly and periodically and try to share wisdom with us.

Today the things I saw and didn’t like in them I STILL see and don’t like yet they are now in their 60’s. These things had almost nothing to do with their age.

But many other things I rejected from them because of their age. Those same things I had to myself learn slowly and gradually and sometimes painfully. When older Christians try to speak into your life just listen. There are often gems that can save you years of pain. These gems can sometimes be mixed with nonsense but that is another issue entirely.

Never prejudice against a person because of their age. Sometimes our elders have things that can only be obtained through time. Sometimes elders are crazy and way off, but I’d wager they were crazy and way off during their 20’s as well. Don’t blame it on their age. Find the meat, reject the bones (with love) and save yourself some delays or heartache.

I wish I would have heeded this advice while I was in my 20s.
