Yip, that’s what they had the children singing. Global warming and all. First heard this rendition on the radio this morning; they were speaking of the Chris Dodd presidential campaign. I remember several years ago, in our very first church, some of the music during the Superbowl halftime. Very strange, upside down account of Jesus’ confrontation with Satan in Matthew 4.
Guess I wouldn’t want to make too much of this, but it does say something. If we aren’t trusting God, then it is in our hands. And even though in Christian circles, we would disagree outwardly, if you look at the mess in our churches, you would see that much of the time we believe things are “in our hands” not God’s. Don’t believe me? Just look at the revenge factor in the lives of Christians, getting back, not takin’ nothin’. We don’t trust God to give him his place to make everything right and mete out justice and fairness as he sees fit.
No-siree, sister, “I don’t get mad; I get even.”
The global warming thing is a puzzler. I haven’t done any research for almost four years, but then it was not near the slam dunk that we have it to be. And what raises my alarm is that you cannot even question the “fact” of global warming without evoking emotion and ridicule. That’s right, buddy, and the earth is flat also. Everybody knows that so what’s your problem.
(Proverbs 14:12 NKJV) There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
It really does seem right, this bent each of us have by default, but the end leads to further distance between us and God. We will believe anything and push for anything that promotes our agenda. What we want determines what we believe. It doesn’t matter how academic our posture; this principle holds true for all human “beans.”
If something is this overwhelmingly true, global warming I refer to, then why not answer questions instead of quashing them? Isn’t this what they accuse us of as Christians? Oh, yes, we do the same thing when people have questions about God and his truth. Okay, so sometimes we are as stupid as they are; still doesn’t make it right.
