Conjurers of Deceit

Conjurers of Deceit

         
    Excerpt from the poem, "The Voice of the Voiceless"
The same Force formed the sparrow 
    That fashioned man, the king; 
The God of the Whole gave a spark of soul 
    To furred and to feathered thing. 
And I am my brother's keeper, 
    And I will fight his fight, 
And speak the word for beast and bird, 
    Till the world shall set things right.
Let no voice cavil at Science-- 
    The strong torch-bearer of God; 
For brave are his deeds, though dying creeds, 
    Must fall where his feet have trod. 
But he who would trample kindness 
    And mercy into the dust-- 
He has missed the trail, and his quest will fail: 
    He is not the guide to trust....

            Jesus Christ is the light of the world.   To solve our problems we must get close to the light.  For a person to be effective in lying-deceit, everyone wants to believe in him.  Has anyone ever considered how disappointed Jesus must have been with Judas?  Judas, who had seen Him raise the dead and feed the thousands, was there when, Jesus, on His last night, washed all of the disciples' feet including the feet of Judas.  Any group, any mob, always made up of people...  Who can know or understand what thoughts are conjured in the minds of people?  Certainly not the psychologist or psychiatrist... they just think they know.   Yet, most believing pastors will send troubled church members to unbelieving psychologist or psychiatrist for help.

            The distance between the earth and the sun is 92 million miles, yet, this is a very short distance compared to the distance one must travel in attempting to discover the reasons for certain human activity-thoughts.  From the beginning of time, a man's inhumanity against his fellow man, the first two sons born on earth, Cain & Able -- Cain killed his brother Able.  Our minds are tortured as we read historical accounts about the torture of men.  Can one imagine conquered soldiers-slaves marched naked and chained behind conquering soldiers?  Can one imagine families broken up as they were sold into slavery?  More remarkable, even to this very day and every day, when 3,000 babies (1,400 black babies) have been murdered (56 million babies murdered in America alone since the Supreme Court decisions of 1973), imagine mothers submitting to the murder of their own baby within their own body?  We cringe when we study, even in my lifetime, the cruelty of the KKK, Hitler's holocaust, and Stalin's extermination of their fellow countrymen.

            Make friends with fear.  If not yet, it is heading your way.  Most of our fellow countrymen are just going through the motions.  When we lose our democratic republic, at the court house - state house - white house, and we are well on our way, when the cause of Christ becomes more a mockery at the church house than it already is, we are all going to wish we had done more to save our country and our Christian way of life.  Why can't Americans, who work themselves to death paying taxes and saluting the flag, see the futility of it all, the "ketchup king" (secretary of state), the pretender president in the white house who never fired a Daisy BB gun getting your children involved in more and more wars?

            This writer, world traveler, totally blind veteran, has some familiarity with war and the results of war... In Leningrad, Russia, I saw long lines of people outside of any store that had anything to sell.

            Every minute of every day real men and real Christians should be praying for God's direction of our lives.  Civilization, even the advanced civilization that we enjoy, is just a systematic organization of matter.  Most people I know, most children raised today, want to be celebrities instead of servants.  This writer's greatest disappointment has always been with family, friends and associates.  Most, just don't care.  And, they actually think God needs them... that they can just mess around with God and play games... that He actually did not mean what He said in His book.  In fact, most people I know cannot quote one verse of scripture from God's book.  The Jewish people, young Jewish boys, knew the Torah by heart.  We know how God judged them.  Don't laugh or scorn those of us who really believe, 'Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.'  Philippines 2:5.   

            IF, you knew you were the heir or the even joint heir of a fortune, that the will would be read at a

lawyer's office and it was necessary for you to be there, your car "conked" out a mile from the city where the will and last testament of your benefactor was to be read, you would walk and run with joy the last mile of the way.  Satan has conjured up every form of deceit with which he can beguile you... to keep you from your inheritance, your redemption.
