THE INDICTMENT 

Arrogant

Haughty

Not Meek

"The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them."

"because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. . .for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."

"they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools" . . .

"Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever". 

Amen.

Examined

THE MAYORAL HIRING PROCESS

The person

The party

The people

https://tinyurl.com/yc9yxqle

If we (the people) are part

of the 'hiring team' . . .

A candidate puts in an application for the job - THE PEOPLES MAYOR.

Should we ask the

candidate for a resume?

===•===•===

Would it be safe to assume that any serious candidate would have such a resume crafted and ready for the job application process?

===•===•===

Ok, so now we have the

resume 'in hand'. We quickly

look the document over and

see that it falls into 3 main parts:

1. QUALIFICATIONS
2. EXPERIENCE
3. REFERENCES

===•===•===

We the people - The hiring team - have several of these resumes 'in hand'. We have carefully verified the details. We have discarded some applications that were lacking the authenticity we required.

We are left with the ones we consider to be 'acceptable candidates'.

We have called you in for the

first in a series of 'interviews' and for questioning as will be required of ALL candidates.

These are some tough, even potentially embarrassing questions; we hope you are not offended and will not take them as insulting or as personal attacks on your integrity.

QUESTION #1

Do you agree that such examination be necessary for one seeking the public trust?

You are familiar with the aircraft industry. ALL pilots and mechanics must do requisite time on the simulators before 'going live'.

Then even after the preliminary approval, the 'new' appointee MUST come under intense scrutiny and supervision before being allowed to perform any duty involving the safety of many passengers.

QUESTION #2

How would you answer constituents who ask what experience do you 'bring to the table' as you ask us to put our fortunes, our families and our futures in your hands by giving you the enormous powers vested in the office of the mayor.?

QUESTION #3

We notice that this is your 3rd

application for this position.

Why do you want this job?

QUESTION #4

https://tinyurl.com/ycpnbrbk

We see here that although your qualifications don't exactly match

those on our job offer, you still chose to apply for this position, why?

The 2nd Interview

FICTION, FANTASY or FAITH

Do the 'deceived' know 

that they are deceived?

"I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh."

THE PEOPLE & THE PARTY(S)

The Rule of law VS rule of lies?

Identifying Group think in the 

age of 'social media'.

"Let no man deceive 

you by any means"

Living in a fear-based 'reality'?

Living lies? - "because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved."

A fear-based plea?

Rules for radicals?

Political Malpractice?

Non-existent realities?

Things "false and wrong"?

"According to studies"?

"Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle."

"we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth  Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ."

THE CHOICE 'TO BELIEVE'.

Logic and reason are futile against 'unbelief'. Deception happens 

when I refuse Persuasion.

"Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me 

to be a Christian."

CALLED TO BELIEVE 

"For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe."

"the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way him • whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders • exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped • and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved."

Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;

And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul

Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

Honest

WHY RELATIONSHIPS?

We will not be 'right' (honest) if we have no right relationships with (at least 2) people.


https://www.openbible.info/topics/two_or_three_witnesses
Groups & Teams - to establish honesty (keep me honest)




Honesty with
God - faith

Honesty with self - faith

Honesty with
others - works



DOERS / DOINGS
"be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves."

The issue with DONE is when it de-emphasizes biblically correct works.

"he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?"

WE WALK WITH
GOD BY FAITH

WE WALK WITH
MEN BY SIGHT

NEW YEAR MUSINGS

https://biblehub.com/romans/14-1.htm

We have in our 'head' a "picture"

of who the other person is. 

We have mental pictures of all the people we 'know'.

They also have 'pictures' of us.

These pictures are being 

constantly updated as we have new experiences. 

This ongoing process is for the most part private. Some people refer to the process as 'JUDGING' and sometimes a great deal of anxiety can be associated with the idea of judging.

We also have a 'picture' of ourselves, self-image. 

QUESTION: How does the picture that 'they' have of you differ from the picture that you have of yourself?

Does it matter? Why or why not?

• Let every man be fully 

persuaded in his own mind.

• none of us liveth to himself, 

and no man dieth to himself

• Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
