I was not expecting to see the jungle from a road leading up to a mountainside school. The mist in a distance made it almost unreal. So beautiful and yet so alarming. For trucks bigger than I have ever seen carried logs longer than I have ever known. No branches. No bark. Left somewhere to rot , he told me.
There is something I want to tell you, I told him. I have changed. I told him of the moment when the Holy Spirit touched me and why I now had this blog. For I wanted to reach out to all who were afraid to read the Bible.
Why some were forbidden to read a letter from God seems absurd. For are they not afarid that not to read is actually what they should be worried of.
Yet the Evil one is so complex an enemy. The deception , the Spirit of Religion , as my friend Theresa put it...yes, sadly I agree. Many people searching for God get persuaded by the Spirit of Religion that seems to take them to where they wana go. Only to be taken not to Salvation but to a place where they feel they are on the right Path. But sadly , so tragically, it is not the right path at all.
One great deception is this notion that all religions are the same because they teach us to do good. If we are talking of right conduct yes. But right conduct is no substitute for Salvation.
And Benjamin put it well. He said, they always tell me, we are praying to the same God. He answered. There is one God. But Jesus is the way to salvation.
It seems that that is where we defer. I mean where religions are concerend. I mean people are comfortable about saying we pray to the one God and even the same God. But when we say Jesus is the way to Salvation, that is where some back away. Afraid?
If you have backed away all this while... ask yourself...why back away?
What if Jesus is the way to Salvation.
Are you going to waste your life and lose this one chance to know your Saviour?
