I never thought of it in that light before but that is one of his tactics. I think this was an important post because so much has taken the place of the meaning of Easter.

Thank you for sharing a sobering an...Hi Charlotte,<br /><br />Thank you for sharing a sobering and honest post regarding meaning of <i>spiritual words</i>. Like you, I believe these words go beyond the meaning and intent of human understanding because they come from the mouth of God.<br /><br />We live in a country where references to Christ are <i>edited</i> from our institutions and culture. I've asked myself, <i>can these actions defeat the purpose and plans of God?</i> <b>I do not believe they can.</b><br /><br />Nations have risen and fallen throughout our world's civilization, but the word of God remains eternal and transcendent.<br /><br />You're right, each of us who call upon the name of the Lord, must represent him by the life we live. I'm reminded of what Paul wrote in Philippians 1:15-18, "<b>Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even from envy and strife, but some also from good will; the latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel; the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment. What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice...</b>"<br /><br />I suppose what I'm groping to say is that even though public schools no longer allow prayer or discussions on the topic of salvation, God has the ability to reach and touch a child who faces a crisis, a teacher who suffers from burnout, or an administrator who's marriage is failing.<br /><br />I love the fact that God is not limited or defined by human reasoning or words, He exceeds my capacity to understand.<br /><br />I read a post last week that talked about the odds being stacked against God, and how through Elijah God demonstrated that, "<b>The Lord, He is God.</b>"<br /><br />May we all prove worthy of the sacrifice of our Lord, Jesus Christ.<br /><br />Blessings and peace.<br /><br /><a href="http://mythought-filledjourney.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">MTJ</a>MTJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694085588658653915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1750080832955961363.post-27853256342981379842011-03-19T09:08:43.069-07:002011-03-19T09:08:43.069-07:00Good explanation of this important subject.
