It is a fearful thing, to fall into the hands of the Living God! HEBREWS 10:31 I have heard many people profess their belief in New Age, where man is God, or Wicca, where man controls the elements, uses magic and worships a Goddess who does not judge. I have heard many say that Aliens from another planet put us here on earth by seeding the planet or manipulating our DNA, and that man mistakingly invented the God of the Bible because he could not otherwise explain the advanced technology of the Aliens! I've known people who have listened to some nut on late night talk radio give some strange theory on how man got here. I've listened to tapes telling me to "Be the Budda," or promoting the "Power of Now," or the "Power of Self," or speak of an impersonal higher power within each of us, or "Spirit Guides" or reincarnation and Karma! I've had people give me books and tapes such as "A Course in Miracles," where there is no such thing as evil, the devil or hell, and everything that man does, murder, rape, abortion, etc; is supposed to happen! I've heard people speak of God as simply "Pure Energy" as they quote Einstien's formula, E=MC (squared) Anything but God! Especially a personal God who is concerned about how we live out our lives together on a planet that He created for us! Anything but a God that man must give an account to; A God who will judge and punish the evil deeds of man! Any other explanation for our existence and journey, but not the God of the Bible. Not the God of the Church or any other organized religion! I know people who reject all of the fulfilled prophecies of the Bible, yet embrace the idea that we descended from Big Foot, Apes, Aliens, or amoeba; or by the "Accidental Chance" of certain cosmic chemicals combining in a "Just Right" environment to form what we are today! Thousands of years of Theology, Faith, Prophets, Witnesses and Martyrs, Miracles, Signs, Blessings and Judgements are flippantly dismissed in favor of just 20 minutes of some nut on the radio who never has any physical evidence or anything more than a personal theory, which I believe is really no theory at all, but a personal preference to avoid the thought of a God who might ask him to give an account of his life; A God who may ask him about "Love" and "Charity!" A God who may ask him about doing good and avoiding the evil of our lower passions! Thousands of years of countless witnesses and scribes, and countless faithful are dismissed in favor of some new book or set of self help tapes or 60 minute radio guest. This is not a "Faith" problem, this is a "Moral" problem! It's not that these souls "Can't" believe,...It's that they do not "want" to believe in a Personal God who loves His children, His creatures, but holds them accountable for their actions or lack of actions and judges accordingly!
