People are Evil (that means you)

That’s right, people are evil.  Not some people, not people in government, but all people, back to the first person, are evil.  If you are reading this, you are evil.  That is the truth of the universe.  Of course people change the definition of evil all the time so that they exempt themselves from that label.  However, God, the creator of all that is, has a righteous standard and if a person violates one of those laws, that person is totally and completely evil, evil, evil, evil.

This morning, revelations about Harvey Weinstein's immoral sexual behavior of the last many decades.  His story is the Hollywood story.  Women were offered roles and positions based on who they would have sex with.  This is the open secret about Hollywood.  They joke about it on Mad Men, but people just nod and accept it.  Sexual immorality is the height of evil.  So people enjoy movies and TV shows and listen to the “wisdom” of actors who live in and support this immoral, evil, debauched, depraved and despicable system.

Everyone in Hollywood, politics, education, entertainment or any other place of public attention that spouts wise and interesting sayings need to be understood as evil people.  Evil to their core.  Life is not a contest to see if we can do more “good” things than “evil” things.  God does not have a large scale where he weighs our lives.  One lie, one thought of lust, stealing one pen from work shows the true nature of the human being, evil to the core.  Every inclination of every thought is evil today, and people bend their knee at the altar of entertainment and worship it.  People sell their souls for a career and the people who had sex with Weinstein are as evil as he is for offering it.  Evil all around.

Which is why God sent his Son, Jesus Christ.  Jesus came and for the first time in history, lived a perfect life, never sinning once.  Jesus actively obeyed every law that God the Father had given.  He then died on a cross shedding his blood for atonement for many.  If a person believes in Jesus, accepts him and makes him Lord over his life, then Christ’s obedience is imputed to them.  Even true Christian believers are nothing but oozing evil inside.  God does not fix that, causing us to be righteous, he puts a righteous covering over us until Jesus returns again and Christians are glorified.  Until that day, everyone on earth is evil, evil, evil.

In Galatians 5, Paul gives a summary list of people:  “Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy,  drunkenness, orgies, and things like these.”  Sexual immorality is at the top of the list.  Harvey Weinstein, a Jew, should know better, but so should everyone else.  Weinstein is nothing special, he just got rich and famous from his sin.  Jesus Christ is righteousness, everyone else is debauched, depraved evil.

Remembering the Franklin Day Planner

This week I have been rereading Hyrum Smith's book "The 10 Natural Laws of Productivity and Happiness." This book was written in the late 1980s and I remember reading it for the first time when I was working at Seagate Technologies, after my time in the Air Force. The core tool talked about in the book is the Franklin Day Planner . I remembering having one such planner, long before smart phones and Palm devices. Mine was a leather bound loose-leaf binder with calendar and note pages in it. I kept my daily tasks list and appointments in that binder, which became a record of my work history at Seagate and beyond. The Day Planner binders, pages and supplies were sold at a store called Franklin Quest , which was located at Valco Mall in Sunnyvale. At that time, I was a computer programmer. I was able to keep a record of all request for software, who made the request and when and what the requirements were. It seemed that I was the only one keeping a record of this b...

What do I preach?

I preach the Word of God.  The style I use is called expositional exegetical .  I draw the meaning out of the Scripture and explain it.  I believe this is the only approved type of preaching.  To preach events out of the newspaper or the latest psychology fad does nothing to edify the saints or glorify God and certainly it does not contain the power to save. The context for my preaching is that I preach through books of the Bible.  Most recently I have been preaching through the gospel of John.  I started in John 1:1 and last Sunday I preached through John 21:15-17.  Charles Spurgeon preached through the entire Bible, but did not take the verses in order.  He bounced around, and got through the entire Bible. One of the most popular styles of preaching in large churches or churches that want to be large is a style called “topical.”  Traditionally topical preaching takes a topic that is from the news or something that the pastor is reading....

Thoughts on God Speaking

God speaks.  Not often, in an audible voice from the sky, but he does speak.  In the Bible he spoke with a voice, he showed pictures and visions and dreams to people.  Today people speak of impressions in their spirit or mind, which was not talked about in the Bible. Today, I believe that people claim God speaks much more than he does.  The primary reason I say this is that God does not need to speak at all.  God has said all that is needed in his Word, the Bible.  We have everything that is required for life and godliness in the pages of our Bibles.  Bibles are not hard to get, except in anti-God countries, yet we still manage to smuggle them into every country and people group.   For those that claim God is a veritable chatterbox I have to wonder what value that brings to their life.  People who claim to hear God’s voice all the time do not seem to have greater biblical understanding.  In fact, people who hear God’s voice all ...
