All Scripture is linked through the Blue Letter Bible.

Watching imaginary scenes in white fluffy clouds is one thing. To believe satan’s computer-generated dust-storm pictures is quite another.

Remember those lazy hazy days of summer long ago, when we laid on our backs watching the clouds go by. We saw ducks and cows and pretty girls and boats in the white fluff way up there. What I saw you couldn’t. And what you saw was invisible to me. And whatever we saw was soon blown away in the breeze, leaving us to watch for the next imaginary scene in the sky.

Recently someone emailed a picture of a mound of earth with eerie grey clouds overhead. In the clouds were two hands, reminiscent of Michelangelo’s finger of God reaching out to give life to his newly-created Adam. The cloud picture is said to be from Florida in the wake of the 2004 hurricane season.

Just days after 9/11 a similar picture was published showing Nostradamus’ face in the billows of dust and smoke rising from the twin towers as they crashed to the ground. The devil and Jesus and others have appeared from time-to-time, in pictures of dust storms and snow squalls. Without fail, they arise out of the misery of huge segments of mankind.

Such pictures are not new. Years ago they were the result of photo darkroom wizardry or airbrush artists. Today they’re computer generated, and generally appear in trashy newsstand tabloids, and people believe them.

Genesis 3:1 tells us the serpent was more subtle than any other beast of the field. No doubt he had several conversations with Eve before the one recorded in the bible. Like any skilful con man, satan, disguised as the serpent, likely painted wonderful word pictures of what a life of wisdom would be like. Then came the best one of all: “You won’t die; your eyes will be open to good and evil; you will be like gods.”

The old serpent (Revelation 12:9; 20:2) is still painting pictures today but, unlike our imaginary ducks in the clouds, they purport to be messages from God. And just as God uses humans to spread his gospel message today, satan uses humans with a bit of computer skill to spread his evil scenes. Of course people believe them. Doesn’t the bible tell us satan disguises himself as an angel of light, and his demons are transformed as ministers of righteousness (2 Corinthians 11:14-15)?

Jesus gives us a glimpse of life in the last days of man’s worldly system in the 24th chapter of Matthew. In vs 24 he told his disciples false Christs and false prophets will arise, and show great signs and wonders, insomuch if it were possible they would even deceive God’s people.

Through such pictures as the hands of God, and the face of Nostradamus, satan seduces the gullible into believing his deceptions. Through the medium of the internet far more people will see satan’s pictures than will ever see them in supermarket tabloids.

Don’t be deceived. If you are convinced such pictures are messages from God, how easy will it be for you to believe this or that television evangelist is Jesus Christ himself?

Everything you do or say affects an average of seventeen other people. If you have one hundred people on your mailing list, and send such pictures to them all, you have affected at least 1700 people, many of whom will accept satan’s deceits as gospel.

It’s no wonder God tells his believers, through Paul, to rightly divide the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15) from the wiles of the devil (Ephesians 6:11).

EDUCERE

My mind is made up. Don’t confuse me with facts.

The Latin word for educate, among other things, means “to draw out.” The concept is to train pupils to draw out the knowledge they have, and consider ways to use it to generate new learning. Alas! Alas! It seems our educational system has forgotten how to do this. From what I’ve discovered, the system seems determined only to cram existing information into the students’ heads.

Day after day I hear from students who are bored. Why? Because there’s not much exciting about being told what to memorize for the next exam, or which pages to read in preparation for tomorrow’s quiz.

We might question whether exams are designed to discover each student’s strengths, or to let the system know how stupid the kids are. Forgive me if I’m wrong, but the second choice is not educere, drawing out the wonders that are inside those youthful minds. No wonder they’re bored.

There’s another educational system that’s notorious for pouring existing information into the students’ heads. And, if there’s one system that should understand the meaning of educere, it’s this one.

Baptist seminaries pour Baptist information into their students. The Presbyterians do the same. The other religious denominations do the same thing, then send their graduates into the world to pour their particular information into the heads of the membership. No wonder people are drifting away from the churches. They’re bored. There’s nothing to draw out – to educere – the questions in their minds.

The Sunday after my father died, I went with Mom to her Baptist church. The minister knew I observe the seventh-day sabbath. He started by saying, “We do not have…” Then, realizing I was in the audience, he changed it to, “At least we do not observe the sabbath day as the scriptures teach us to observe it.” It took considerable restraint for me not to shout out, “Why not?” Had I been there under different circumstances I might have asked the question.

But where was the rest of the congregation? The minister’s statement just went over their heads. They were conditioned to sit quietly and accept the message from the man in the pulpit.

Recently a storm in Central America knocked out the electricity during part of the evening worship service. A couple kerosene lanterns provided light, and the minister tuned up his five-string banjo and sang a few bluegrass songs.

Horrors! God must have been furious! (Did I actually write that?) You know, I believe God may have sat back with a happy smile, and possibly hummed a little bluegrass of his own.

How bored God must be with our staid form of worship. I dare to believe God may have engineered the power outage so he could draw out some worship bluegrass style.

Our students are bored. The few people who attend church are bored. And why? There might be a turnaround if a minister said, “Rather than preaching today I want questions from you, and we’ll seek the answers from God’s truth written in the bible.”

But will it happen? Dumb question. Herman Melville (1819-1891) wrote, “Try to get a living by telling the truth, and go to the soup societies. Let any clergyman try to preach the truth from its very stronghold, the pulpit, and they would ride him out of the church on his own pulpit banister.” In simple language, if you ministers want to protect your income, don’t rock the boat.

The time is coming when God’s word will be taken from the world (Amos 8:11). If you’re not drawing out the truth today, when will you begin? Paul advised Timothy, and us, “Study to show yourself approved to God…rightly dividing – educere – the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15).”

FAMINE OF THE WORD

There’s a great famine coming, and it will leave your mind empty unless you’ve stored what it needs ahead of time.

For years Christians have used expressions like, “Signs of the time,” and, “We’re in the last days.” Even the apostles may have thought they were nearing the end of civilization as man knows it (2 Timothy 3:1; 2 Peter 3:3).

Each generation truly believed the day of the Lord (Joel 2:1-11) would come in their lifetime and, of course, each generation was obviously closer to that time. In Century 21 we are much closer to the end than ever before, and the signs are more indicative of it than ever before.

Jesus revealed to his disciples some of the events that will take place before his return: wars, and rumours of wars (Matthew 24:6); persecution of Christians (vs 9); the rise of false prophets (vs 11); once-loving people will become more inward (vs 12); and so on.

The most important sign will be the preaching of the gospel of the kingdom of God in all the world for a witness to all nations, and then the end will come (vs 14).

We’re certainly in the era which makes this sign possible. Bibles are published in nearly every language; radio and television is being used to take the gospel message to the nations; and the internet has a magnificent capacity to spread the word.

There’s more than two thousand readers on the Life Lines mailing list, and many – perhaps you’re one of them – relay some of the columns to their mailing list. If a few of those relayed it further, and so on, we’d be amazed at the number of people who would receive the message.

And Life Lines is not the only way God’s message is being spread via the ’net. There’s many individuals and organizations who are similarly using it. The gospel is being preached world wide.

This doesn’t mean everyone accepts it. It doesn’t mean everyone who hears it is being converted. Jesus said the gospel of the kingdom will be preached worldwide as a witness.

In court, it’s not the witness’ job to convince the jury of guilt or innocence. That’s the attorney’s work. All the witness can do is tell the facts as he saw them. And that’s the business of those of us who publish God’s word on the ’net.

Now Jesus didn’t simply say the gospel will be preached to the world. His next words are, “…and then shall the end come.” Does this mean immediately? Not at all.

Between the time when the world will have received the witness, and the ultimate time of the end, there will be a time of terror throughout the world (Amos 8:1-10), and people will wonder what’s going on. The gods of the world won’t help them. The governments will be powerless. And, for the first time, the nations will look to God for answers. But, God says he will send a famine throughout the world: “…not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord (vs 11).” People will search near and far to hear God’s word, but they won’t find it (vs 12).

Why will God send such a famine. Doesn’t he want people to hear the truth? Yes, but! The truth is being preached today, yet most people refuse to accept it. But when they’re starved for the truth, and it’s finally made available again, they’ll accept it with alacrity, just as a starving man might wolf down a hamburger offered to him.

I suspect we are entering the time of famine right now. Already some television networks are not accepting Christian programming. There’s a few religious radio stations, and some local stations provide time slots, but at ridiculous hours during the night.

Now the other powerful medium, the uncontrolled internet, is becoming part of the famine of God’s word. Computer spammers are flooding the ’net with so much garbage there soon won’t be room for God’s word. Many people are subscribing to anti-spam programs that block everything except selected mail. I see it in the number of Life Lines columns that are returned because they include a word that may be considered offensive.

Someone will ask, “Doesn’t God have the power to stop all this?” and the answer is, “Absolutely.” But the world as so evil – even so-called Christian countries – that God says, “I will send a famine…of hearing the words of the Lord (Amos 8:11).” How will he send it? Through closing the media to anything smacking of Christianity.

Wow! Guess I’d better start studying the bible tomorrow! Sorry, make that today. Tomorrow may be too late.

FEAR GOD?

Is God such a terrible ogre that we must be terrified of him? The King James bible seems to imply that he is.

Recently I told my daughter-in-law I hope little Silver will be raised in a God-fearing home.

Neither my son nor my daughter-in-law are too much into the religion of Jesus Christ, so after she left I began wondering, "Why do we use expressions like God-fearing? That certainly doesn't seem like something which would generate interest in him."

The expression has its genesis in the bible. We read that Joseph told his brothers, "I fear God (Genesis 42:18)." In Ecclesiastes 12:13 the wisest man who ever lived said, "Fear God, and keep his commandments...." When God was giving the laws for daily life he frequently said, "You shall fear your God (Leviticus 19:14, 32; 25:17, 36, 43)."

In the new testament we read that one of the malefactors crucified with Jesus said, "Don't you fear God (Luke 23:40)?" And Peter, writing to the church in general said, " Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king. (1 Peter 2:17)."

Language changes through the years. Remember when cool referred to temperature. How did it come to refer to something that was mod, such as a cool haircut, or a cool fashion piece? Someone decided it was cool, and our youthful culture made it part of our language.

What about bad. In my day food that was not refrigerated went bad. Today a bad -- properly pronounced baaad -- car is a cool car, like smooth, man.

Language belongs to the people. They make it; they change it. When the first edition of the King James Version was published, prevent meant to go before, as in Psalm 59:10 where David wrote, "The God of my mercy shall prevent [go before] me." But today prevent means to stop someone from performing an action.

In the same way the word fear has changed in meaning. In many cities a person will not walk alone at night for fear of being mugged, or worse. Most women who find a lump on their breast fear the worst, even though they may hope for the best. And a mother fears for her son the first time he takes the family car for a spin.

But in the scripture verses quoted above, in the ancient languages of the bible, there's a common thread in the meaning of fear. It's respect or reverence. Here's some of those verses with the meaning of respect in place of fear:

The wisest man who ever lived said, "Reverence God, and keep his commandments." One of the malefactors crucified with Jesus said, "Don't you respect God?" And Peter wrote, " Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Revere God."

Yes, I hope little Silver will be raised in a God-fearing home. But perhaps my statement would have been better said, "I hope Silver will be raised in a home that respects God, and holds him in reverence." That may even help her parents get more into the religion of Jesus Christ.

FRAGILITY OF RELATIONSHIPS

Relationships can fall apart more easily than they’re formed. This article outlines a three-part plan to protect and polish your relationships.

Relationships are fragile: handle with Love.

When we were first married I had the body of a Greek god. At least that’s what Betty said. Now, thirty years later, I more resemble the Laughing Buddha.

Relationships are like that aren’t they? They start out perfect; a few years later they go to pot.

Look to your dating days: you held hands, gazed into each other’s eyes. You spent all day together then phoned as soon as you got home. But what’s your relationship like today? Do you still glow in each other’s presence or does lifeless lead shine by comparison? Do you still hang onto every word your partner utters or is your conversation simply, “Get me a beer,” or “What’s on the tube?”

Our lives are molded by the people we meet and the books we read. We are too often molded by people who pull us down rather than by those who lift us up. And for many these people are images in our electronic book, the television. A constant diet of gender domination, seduction, adultery, and other Pure Garbage programs is certain to influence our attitudes toward our associates. I suspect if we treated others like we treat the people nearest to us some of us wouldn’t have a friend in the world.

Jacob discovered this. His brother Esau returned from an unsuccessful hunting trip believing he was about to die from starvation. Jacob took advantage of his brother’s weakness and swindled him out of his birthright. Later Jacob – his name means supplanter – defrauded Esau out of the blessing that was rightfully his.

But damaged relationships do not go unheeded by God. Jesus Christ gave us the Golden Rule: treat other people just as you would like to be treated.

Jacob’s family did just that to him. Jacob defrauded Esau; his uncle Laban, in turn, defrauded Jacob out of many years labour before he could marry Rachel.

If your relationships seem to be going sour it may be that you, perhaps unwittingly, are doing to others what you would not want them to do to you.

Rotary International has a three-part plan to protect and polish relationships. Whatever you say or do or even think, consider: Is it kind? Is it true? Is it necessary?

If the answer to just one of these questions is No, you risk muddying a relationship that once sparkled like a crystal rippling stream.

FRIED BRAINS

The cute little girl at the door is selling chocolate bars. “Sure,” you say. “I’ll buy all you have.” Are you crazy?

If we did with our money what we do with our brains, we’d soon be bankrupt.

Seldom a day goes by that someone doesn’t ask us to give our cash to this or that charity, to pledge money to kids participating in a school read-a-thon, walk-a-thon, or skip-a-thon, or to buy a hundred-dollar ticket on a lottery to help a hospital buy a new piece of equipment.

These things are not wrong, but don’t we say “No” to most of them to keep our bank accounts intact?

Yet what do we do with our minds? We want to keep everybody happy, so we say “Yes” to their requests, forgetting that our minds are the most important bank accounts we have.

There’s three areas for our life’s activities: The Must Be Dones; The Should Be Dones; and the Could Be Dones.

The Must Be Dones are self evident. If you’re in school, you must study and do your homework every day. If you’re in the working field, you must show up every day on time.

The Should Be Dones are things that need doing, but not necessarily today. The car may need a polish job, but it can wait for a few days.

Everything else are Could Be Dones. It’s in this area where we tend to waste most of our mental finances. Tom invites us to a couple rounds of golf, so we say “Yes,” knowing full-well there are Must Be Dones that will not get done if we accept his invitation. It’s hard to say No, but if we can say No to giving our money away, shouldn’t we say No to giving our time and energy away, simply because someone else wants us to do it?

A young lady asked, “Why do we feel like we can't just say No? Why do we feel guilty when someone starts the whole begging routine on us?”

Guilt is one of the devil’s ways to bankrupt our mental bank account. But we need to learn when, and why, to say “No,” without feeling guilty.

Ask the kids of a broken family why Mom and Dad split. Often they’ll say, “Dad wasn’t there for us.”

Dad was always willing to be the fourth at euchre, or to be on the company bowling team, or to help his buddy build a deck on his home. None of these, you’ll agree, are wrong. But when the card game, and the weekly bowling event, and the carpentry takes precedent over the family’s needs, then they become wrong. It seems Dad would feel guilty if he said No, to these things, but would have no sense of guilt over ignoring his wife and kids.

Even if we choose to say No to the person wanting to take our time, we somehow feel we need to explain why not. But why? Does it assuage our guilt to say we’re going to be out of town that weekend, even though we may have no such plans? Now there’s another guilt: that of having lied our way out of whatever. But it’s interesting, people who lie as a matter of habit, seldom have a sense of guilt about their lies.

Can’t we simply say, “I appreciate being asked to help, but my family comes first”? It’s a sure bet that ten years from now nobody will recall how great a job you did raising funds for the cancer drive. But your kids will remember Mom was always there to kiss a scraped knee, or to mend her young daughter’s broken heart. And they’ll remember Dad was there to help fix a flat tire on the bike, or to express his pride when the report card shows a bit of improvement over the previous term.

We even need to say No to ourselves from time to time. We can actually fill our time with so many personal projects that we overextend ourselves. When that happens, our mind says No, and exhaustion forces us to look at what Must Be Done, what Should Be Done, and what Could Be Done.

Do we really need a reason why we can’t help with the church luncheon? Jesus gives the answer, “Let your words be Yes or No, for anything you say beyond that will simply cause problems (Matthew 5:37).”

I’M TELLING ON YOU

An Alberta, Canada, school teacher believes an act of kindness should receive ten times the attention given to a deed that came about because of wrong choices. She shows her children that little things make a difference.

“I’m telling on you” has a new meaning at an Alberta elementary school. “I’m telling on you” means I’m telling the class about the nice thing you just did.

Teacher Laurie Braun McCarty, believes positive words and actions can overcome the bullying so prevalent in most schools, and inspires her students to write reports of good things and kind gestures performed by other students.

Laurie collects the reports, and posts them on the walls, sometimes on paper teddy bears, sometimes on little T-shirts, and sometimes on other themes including lightning bolts.

By the end of one school year she collected more than a thousand reports such as, "When I was by myself, Jeffry sat on the swing with me," and "I slipped and cut myself on the ice and Sara sat with me." Some children even filed reports about the crossing guard’s courtesy and helpfulness.

Laurie’s project has resulted in less bullying, changed attitudes, and even resolving problems concerning the school. After receiving several reports of students helping students who had fallen on the ice, she realized there was a safety issue. The ice problem was soon corrected.

Preparing and posting the reports has been a challenge for Laurie. Just finding space on the bulletin board has tested her abilities, especially one week when students filed sixty reports of kindness.

“Kindness thrived,” says Laurie. Once the project got underway she saw kids sharing lunches and opening doors for one another. A child who had a reputation for arrogance was seen helping another clean out her desk.

At the end of the school year Laurie posted all the good-deed reports as a final reminder that little things make a difference. The students retrieved the reports which featured their names, and took them home as mementos.

“It all came about,” says Laurie, “because some of the younger children in the elementary school were worrying about bullying.” She adds, “I sincerely believe…an act of kindness should receive ten times the attention given to a deed that came about because of wrong choices. I wanted my program…to focus on the positive, on what is appreciated, not what is annoying or hurtful."

One lonely child saw the result of focusing on the positive. She reported about a classmate, "When I needed a friend to play with, she was there."

The bible has something to say about Laurie’s program. You’ll find it in Matthew 7:12 and Luke 6:31. We call it The Golden Rule. And Laurie’s children have discovered the truth that a person who has friends must show himself friendly (Proverbs 18:24).

For the teacher who saw a need and filled it, Jesus promises he will come in the glory of his Father, and will reward Laurie according to her works (Matthew 16:27).

I’VE GOT BAD NEWS AND GOOD NEWS

The first world war was called the war to end all wars. But warfare didn’t stop in 1918 nor in 1945. In fact, the war to end all wars is yet to come.

The worst is yet to come.

If you think the news is bad today, hold on: it’s going to get worse.

Your bible tells of a time coming that will eclipse every war that’s ever been fought. Famines will be worse than you’ve ever seen on television. Drought will destroy crops and cattle. And diseases more terrible than AIDS and cancer will strike every family.

It won’t take place just in Asia or Africa or some far-off country. It will be world wide. Canada and the United States will not escape.

The story is told briefly in Daniel 12, where God says, “There shall be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time (vs 1).” Joel adds there will never be another time like it (Joel 2:1-11).

Revelation 6:15-16 says it will be so dreadful that kings and presidents and powerful military leaders and men of great wealth will seek death to escape it. But death will not oblige them (Revelation 9:6). John calls it the Lord’s day (Revelation 1:10), as does Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Joel and Zephaniah.

Jesus tells us in Matthew 24:22 unless God intervenes no flesh – human or animal – will survive.

Is God out to get us? No. He’s just allowing mankind to go our own way, to discover we don’t have the answer to world peace, or anything else. Mankind long ago left God out of his life, and is suffering the consequences today.

Any nation could have had the blessings described in Deuteronomy 28. But we’re not safe in our cities (Vs 3). Our land doesn’t produce abundantly, even with fertilizer and hybrid seed (Vs 4). We send peace-keeping troops to strife-torn countries, but the enemy scoffs at them (vs. 7). Rain in it’s season (Vs 12)? Not according to those who’ve suffered through floods and hurricanes. Lend to many nations, and not borrow? We of the western world look hopelessly to politicians to pull us out of our financial crises.

But despite what you’ve just read, the best is yet to come.

God will intervene (Matthew 24:22), and human life will continue, not in some never-never land, but on this earth.

Life will be different then. Mankind will have learned its lesson, and will listen carefully to what God says, and will keep all his commandments (Deuteronomy 28).

War machines will be recast into farm implements, and military academies will no longer exist (Isaiah 2:4; Micah 4:3).

God will give us life without tears or pain or sorrow or death (Revelation 21:4). His capital city will be indescribably beautiful (Revelation 21:10 to 22:5). Everything will be renewed, and even the deserts will become places of beauty (Isaiah 35:1).

Yes, the worst is yet to come. But the best lies just beyond it.

IN GOD WE TRUST

North American people with nothing better to do, bash any reference to God. You don’t need to be one of them.

Normally Life Lines doesn’t get involved in the politics of any nation, but the time has come for me to speak out.

North American governments are willing to stand behind the rights of homosexuals, spotted owls, satanists, violent criminals, and child molesters. We lock up the innocent, and let the guilty go free.

Many state governments have been active in taking God out of the schools, and anywhere else where he might offend the sensitivities of those who worship other gods.

“In God We Trust” is on the reverse side of U.S. currency, but if enough off-the-wall groups get their way, new bills will eliminate the slogan. Or maybe it will be changed to “In thi$ god we tru$t.” After all, the governments have long trusted in the god of the almighty dollar more than the God of creation.

I’m told a couple post offices in Texas were recently ordered to take down small posters stating “In God We Trust,” due to a law regarding election poster violation. The lady who sent me the article asked, “Is God running for office?”

We, in North America, should be proud to profess, “In God We Trust.” Christians in Pakistan, India, China, and many other countries, proclaim their trust in the ever-living God even though they can be imprisoned, unmercifully tortured, and killed for it. Christian women live daily in fear of having their children taken from them to be indoctrinated in non-Christian religions. Rape of the mothers and their teenage daughters is common. Some are sent away for “re-education through labour.” (To learn more about this, go to http://www.persecution.net. You’ll never run short of people to pray for.)

The Ten Commandments are also under attack by those who are offended by them. They would have them replaced by The Ten O.Ks: It’s OK to worship whatever god you wish; It’s OK to dishonour your parents; It’s OK to steal (as long as you leave my stuff alone); It’s OK to commit adultery (but not with my wife); It’s OK to murder (but don’t point your gun at me).

Fortunately there are people who believe The Ten Commandments and “In God We Trust,” are perfectly good tenets to live by. They’ve kept the United States going for more than two hundred years, so why change now?

Since the Texas post office nonsense, a radio station proposed that all Americans write “In God We Trust” on the back of all their snail mail. Why not? It’s on the money that buys their postage stamps.

The lady who wrote me said, “I think it’s a wonderful idea. We must take back our nation from all the people who think anything that offends them should be removed.”

There’s hundreds of ways Americans can promote “In God We Trust.” The motto can be printed on T-shirts, pencils, badges, bumper stickers.

Every televised parade should include a float displaying the slogan. And those people who hold up “John 3:16” signs at sporting events, might change their signs to “In God We Trust.”

Regardless of where we live, In God We Had Better Trust: He’s the only hope for humanity.
