Cold, Dark, and Evil

(printed Danielsville Monitor October 7, 2005 - provided by Elder Glenn Blanchard and republished here with permission from the September 2005 issue of The New Hope Newsletter.)  

     One day a university professor challenged his students with this question.  Did God create everything that exists?  A student bravely replied, "Yes He did!"

     "God created everything?" the professor asked.

     "Yes sir," the student replied.

     The professor answered, "If God created everything, then God created evil.  Since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who we are, then God created evil."  The student became quiet before such an answer.  The professor, quite pleased with himself, boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth.

     Another student raised his hand and said, "Can I ask you a question, professor?"

     "Of course," replied the professor.

     The student stood up and asked, "Professor, does cold exist?"

     "What kind of question is this?  Of course it exists.  Have you never been cold?"  The students snickered at the young man’s question.

     The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist.  According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat.  Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy.  Absolute zero (-460* F) is the total absence of heat; all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at this temperature.  Cold does not exist.  We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have no heat."

     The student continued, "Professor, does darkness exist?"

     The professor responded, "Of course it does."

     The student replied, "Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either.  Darkness is in reality the absence of light.  Light we can study, but not darkness.  In fact, we can use Newton’s prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color.  You cannot measure or study darkness.  Darkness is a term to describe what happens when there is no light present.

     Finally the young man asked the professor, "Sir, does evil exist?"

Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course, as I have already said.  We see it everyday.  It is in the daily example of man’s inhumanity to man.  It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world.  These manifestations are nothing but evil."

To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself.  Evil is simply the absence of God.  It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God.  God did not create evil.  Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God’s love present in his heart.  It’s like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light."

The professor sat down …

The young man’s name …  Albert Einstein.

Not With a Sword

(printed October 14, 2005) 

Goliath approached David mocking the young man’s staff.  David responded, Thou comest to me with sword, but I come in the name of the Lord.  And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword  -  1Sa 17:47.

Wait a second!  David just said God would deliver Goliath into his hand without a sword, yet a sword was used.  How does this reconcile?  A sword did not kill Goliath, a stone killed Goliath (v. 50).  The sword was used to show, friend and foe, Goliath was dead (v. 51).  So the sword did not deliver, it merely manifested the deliverance that had already occurred. 

2Tim 1:9-10 claims the same concerning the word of God.  It declares God gives eternal life, and the word of God manifests the eternal life which has already been given. 

The purpose of the gospel:  to give eternal life or to reveal eternal life, that is the question.  One might say you are splitting hairs, but your view of this subject will determine how you answer the following: 
1)  Did Peter’s preaching give Cornelius eternal life, or did his preaching manifest the eternal life Cornelius already possessed  -  Act 10:30-31? 
2)  Did Ananias’ preaching give Paul eternal life, or did his preaching manifest the eternal life Paul already possessed  -  Act 9:15? 
3)  Did Philip’s preaching give the eunuch eternal life, or did his preaching manifest the eternal life the eunuch already possessed  -  Act 8:27-31? 
4)  Did good works give these Gentiles eternal life, or did good works manifest the eternal life the Gentiles already possessed  -  Rom 2:13-15?  Keep in mind these folks never heard the word of God.

As in the case of Goliath’s sword, the word of God (Eph 6:17) reveals deliverance already given.  Which reconciles with Jesus’ "It is finished" calim?  Which doctrine reconciles with all the case studies, including babies and the mentally disabled?  Which doctrine eternally saves the most people?  Which doctrine gives God the most glory?

Legislating from the Pulpit

(printed October 21, 2005)

Congress has recently replaced a Supreme Court Justice, and is in the process of replacing another.  Congress has and will question a candidate’s position on a host of issues.  One of their objectives is to determine whether or not the candidate will legislate from the bench.  In other words, Congress wants to know whether the candidate views the Constitution as a set of laws which evolve with the times or whether the candidate views the Constitution as a set of laws which ought simply to be interpreted.

Americans with a "liberal bias" view the Constitution as a dynamic document, one that ought to evolve with the times.  This group desires a Justice who will be progressive.  Whereas, Americans with a "conservative bias" view the Constitution as a static document, one that ought to be interpreted only.  This group desires a Justice who will uphold the Constitution.  With the replacement proceedings immanent, political maneuvering continues.

From time to time local churches find themselves replacing a preacher.  Members or a committee question a candidate’s position on a host of issues.  One crucial objective is to determine whether or not the candidate will legislate from the pulpit.  In other words, they should question whether the candidate views the Bible as a dynamic book, or as a book that ought to be interpreted only.

Thus sayeth the word of God is clear whether we ought to view the Bible liberally or conservatively, whether the Bible is static or dynamic.  The Bible says:  1)  Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish aught from it  -  Deut 4:2.  2)  Add thou not unto His words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be fund a liar  -  Prov 30:6.  3)  If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him plagues …  if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life …  -  Rev 22:18-19.  May we protect, defend, and uphold His Holy Word.

Crowd Mentality

(printed October 28, 2005)

Suppose a group of individuals decide to do something contrary to the Word of God.  Whether the group be teenagers from school, employees at the work place, or promoters on Fifth Avenue; the pressure to conform is real.

In my experiences I have observed four reactions to such conflict.  In reading the Bible I see the same four reactions.  Solomon was right when he said there is nothing new under the sun  -  Ecc 1:9.  Individuals react in one of the following manners:

1)  Participate in the error:  like Aaron when he was enticed by the crowd to make an idol, or Peter when he backed away from eating with Gentiles  -  Ex 32:1-5, Gal 2:11-13;
2)  Stand on the sidelines, do not participate in an error but do nothing to stop the error:  like Nicodemus when he went to Jesus by night, or the blind man’s parents when they pleaded ignorance during the Jews’ interrogation  -  John 3:2, 9:18-23;
3)  Join a person who has stood up, do not participate in an error but wait on another to take the lead:  like John when he waited for Peter to go into the tomb, or the hiding Hebrews when they later joined the battle -  John 20:5-8, 1Sam 14:21-22; or
4)  Stand up to the error:  like Moses when he faced Israel at the Red Sea or Stephen when he preached the gospel to the Jews  -  Ex 14:1-10, Act 7:57-60.

Societies also employ the crowd mentality, but with larger vocabularies.  Fascism subverts by equating mental health to collective thinking.  Marxism subverts by replacing reverence for God with reverence for the group.  Political Correctness subverts by legislating cultural relativism.

Crowd mentality does not only occur when a hurricane leaves a city abandoned.  It occurs at the River where students congregate.  It occurs in the home when a children tell parents "everyone is doing it."  It occurs in the mall and in the board room.  May the Lord give us strength to stand up to sin, or at least join others who have  -  Josh 24:15, Mark 15:13, Act 5:29.

Growing in Favor

(printed November 4, 2005)

King Saul was looking for a musician.  Saul’s servant recommended David.  Not only did the servant describe David as a cunning musician, but the servant reported David to be mighty, valiant, prudent, comely, and the Lord to be with him  -  1Sa 16:18.  Saul also came to believe the Lord was with David  -  1Sam 18:28. 

       What did these two men see in David that convinced them the Lord was with David?  The Pharisees had a similar desire, although their motives were all wrong.  The Pharisees wanted men to see the pomp of their public displays  -  Mat 6:1-18.  The Pharisees were motivated by the praise of men, but David sought the Lord’s glory, as should we -  Mat 5:16.  I wonder if we could exhibit fruits such that people would look at us and conclude the same. 

Young David’s zeal and righteousness is a good pattern for us. Samuel and Joseph’s walks are also worthy of consideration  -  1Sa 2:26, Act 7:9-10.  Their zeal was reciprocated with the Lord’s blessings.  Solomon told his son he would grow in favor with God and man if mercy and truth were kept near  -  Pr 3:3-4.  Paul said we would be in favor with God and man when we serve Christ  -  Rom 14:16.  My friends, these are promises you can take to the bank.  When we cleave unto the Lord we will grow in favor with God and man as did Christ  -  Luke 2:52.

Does evidencing such fruit mean a person will come off looking like a religious freak or a holy roller?  Not at all!  David was viewed both as a man’s man and a lady’s man.  Consider those who favored David:  1) his king, Saul  -  1Sa 16:22, 2) his best friend, Jonathan  -  1Sa 18:1-3, 3) the soldiers and servants  -  1Sa 18:5, 4) the women  -  1Sa 18:6-7, and 5) his future wife, Michal  -  1Sa 18:20.  May the Lord bless us to grow in favor with God and man, and do so for His glory, not ours.

O.T. & N.T. Laws

(printed November 11, 2005)

Many theological discussions over religious practice have the same fundamental issue at its root.  That is, which OT laws came forward, which were eliminated, what was modified, and what NT laws were added?  Instead of viewing the transition from OT law to NT law as a revision, view the transition as a replacement.

To illustrate consider America’s purchase of the Louisiana Territory from France.  The state of Louisiana is a unique situation, so let us confine our illustration to the territory north of the state of Louisiana (Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas …).  This northern territory was under Napoleonic Law, sometimes referred to as European Law.  After the United States purchased the territory, European Law was taken away, the Constitution and English Common Law was put in its stead.  Sure both sets of laws made murder a crime, but there was no revision or incorporation of one into the other.  A wholesale replacement occurred.

The same is true of the transition from NT law to OT law.  When Jesus bought his people there was a wholesale replacement.  Paul’s words are emphatic, the OT no longer governs us:  Rom 7:6  -  we are delivered from OT law, 2Cor 3:6-7  -  the OT law was done away with, Gal 3:23-25  -  we are no longer under OT law, Eph 2:15  -  Jesus abolished the OT law, Col 2:14  -  OT law was nailed to the cross, and He 8:13 - OT is decayed, waxed old, vanished away.

I’ve noticed a disturbing trend among many U.S. judges, that is referencing European Law when applying U.S. law.  European law has no authority over U.S. citizens.  The Constitution and English Common Law governs U.S. citizens.  Similarly, the NT governs NT saints.  OT Law has lost its authority.  We are no longer under the schoolmaster or the bondwoman (Gal 3:23, 4:31).  We are now under a spiritual and an everlasting covenant  -  Heb 10:9-10, 13:20.  The NT is our rule, our authority.  Let us not go back.

Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation

(printed November 18, 2005)

       The first observance of Thanksgiving in North America was by the Pilgrims in the fall of 1621.  George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation in 1789 was the first time the United States observed Thanksgiving as a nation.  In 1863 the United States began observing Thanksgiving the last Thursday of each November.  Recorded below is George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation.  This Proclamation leaves no doubt our forefathers viewed God part of their government.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly implore His protection and favor, and Whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me "to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanks-giving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness."

Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th, day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be.  That we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks, for His kind care and protection of the People of this country previous to their becoming a Nation, for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of His providence, which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war, for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed, for the peaceable and rationally manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted
for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge and in general for all the great and various favors which He hath been pleased to confer upon us.

And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplication to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions, to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our Several and relative duties properly and punctually, to render our national government a blessing to all the People, by constantly being a government of wise, just and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed, to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shown kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord.  To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and Us, and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best.

George Washington
   October 3, 1789

How do you think both 1789 Houses of Congress and George Washington would respond to court ruling after court ruling that removes prayer, the posting of the Ten Commandment, and reference to God in the Pledge of Allegiance?  No doubt recent rulings are beyond our forefather’s wildest imaginations.

Lincoln’s Thanksgiving Proclamation

(printed November 18, 2005)

Last week we printed George Washington’s Thanksgiving Day Proclamation.  1789 was the first time the United States observed Thanksgiving as a nation.  In 1863 the United States made Thanksgiving an annual observance.  Recorded below is Abraham Lincoln’s endorsement of an annual Thanksgiving.  Like Washington's proclamation, Lincoln's endorsement leaves no doubt as to our forefather’s dependence upon God.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequalled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defense, have not arrested the plough, the shuttle, or the ship; the axe had enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battle-field; and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years, with large increase of freedom.  No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy.

It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and voice by the whole American people. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to his tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility and Union.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington, this third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the independence of the United States the eighty-eighth.

Whirlwind Worship
(printed December 2, 2005)

When sitting down at my desk to study for a sermon or write a newspaper article I have to clear my desk of mail, post-it-notes, pens, paperclips …   You get the idea.  I have a difficult time concentrating on my work when my desktop is cluttered.  I suppose this part of my personality is a weakness, but I get easily side tracked.

I also have a difficult time carrying on a conversation when too much is going on around me; whether it be a child tugging at my pant leg, a telephone ringing, or other noises.  You would think an ex-middle school teacher would be a little more focused, but I am not.  I suppose this inability to filter out noise is a weakness, but my concentration is easily disrupted.

I also have a difficult time focusing in the beginning of a worship service when I have arrived at church in a whirlwind; like when my wife and I have had a disagreement or I am running a little late.  Sometimes it takes me a good twenty or thirty minutes before I can tune in the preacher (and I am the preacher).  I may be unique in having to clear a desk or minimizing noise, but I am not alone concerning worship  -  for your faces tell me which couple just had a fight, who broke every moving violation getting to church, and who stayed up late Saturday night.  People, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this stuff out.

Are we giving the Lord our first fruits (2Cor 9:6) when we arrive to worship amidst a whirlwind?   A week has 168 hours in it.  Think how few hours are spent in the worship service.  But don’t fix your whirlwind arrivals for the preacher, we have pretty thick hides.  Do it for the Lord.  Do it for yourself.  Do it for your family.  Plan for the unexpected.  So what if you get to church a little early.  What is the worst that could happen?  shake an extra hand, converse with a brother, and arrive prepared to worship in spirit and in truth.  May the Lord help us to give Him the most important commodity, ourselves.

The Greatest Evidence
(printed December 9, 2005)

Our song book contains a hymn entitled "Charity."  The hymn was penned nearly a hundred years old by a preacher named R. H. Pittman, but the principle behind this hymn was penned nearly two thousand years old by the Apostle John.  The hymn’s first two lines read:

Love is the greatest thing
     This world has ever known,
It fits us for God’s service here
     And leads us nearer home.

Without love preaching’s vain,
     Religion just a show,
Trees that here only comber ground,
     On which no fruit will grow.

The Apostle John wrote "love is the greatest thing."  The Book of 1st John states that brotherly love evidences:
*  Our sanctification  -  1John 2:9-10,
*  Our election  -  1John 3:10,
*  Our eternal life    -  1John 3:14,
*  Our spiritual birth  -  1John 4:7,
*  Our conversion   -  1John 4:8,
*  Our adoption  -  1John 4:12, and
*  Our calling  -  1John 4:16.

No wonder the Apostle Paul said, "And now abide faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity"  -  1Cor 13:13.

A preacher named Gaius practiced "Love is the greatest thing."  His practice was so great, both stranger and brother bore witness to it  -  3John 3-6.  If we truly believe "Love is the greatest thing" ought not we practice it?  Individually (1John 4:10-11, John 13:34-35) and collectively (Co 1:4, 2Thes 1:3), charity is the greatest evidence of saint and church.

Creation:  a Fine Teacher

(printed December 16, 2005) 

God’s children learn through several modes.  We learn from preaching, teaching, reading, modeled behavior, and experience.  But consider the knowledge we gain from God’s creation  -  Rom 1:20.

When I was a very young Christian a wise old brother took me under his wing.  He was several decades my senior, quit school at an early age to help run the family farm, yet he was an incredible teacher.  The closer we became the more questions I asked, to which he often responded with a walk through his garden.

I remember one particular occasion when I asked a question when we ended up in his garden.  He showed me a plant whose roots spread out, popped up about a foot away, and started a new plant.  He showed me another plant whose bended shoot touched the ground and started a new plant.  He showed me a  plant that dropped fruit, and so on.

I was so green, it took me a week or so to figure out how his instruction related to my question, let alone answer it.  The older brother taught me, but who taught him?  It wasn’t a preacher.  It wasn’t his father.  It wasn’t his Bible.  It was God’s creation.  I was impatient.  I tried to cut corners and would say, "Just tell me, I don’t have time to think!"  But he usually ignored my requests.

Jesus said, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God  -  John 3:3.  Yes, there is learning simultaneous with the gift of sight, but there is also learning by sight.  This older brother was blessed with an incredible gift of observation and meditation, which scripture tells us to do when we consider the ant, the lily, sheep behavior …

Take a look at the world around you and answer this, "Intelligent Design or Chaos Theory?"  Go ahead, use the scientific method.  Please, use the scientific method, for it generates one answer  -  John 1:3.

He’s Indescribable

(Printed December 23, 2005)

Jesus is holy, faithful, perfect, sufficient, godly, propitiation, gracious, righteous, friend, stability, truth, surety, knowledge, lawful, sovereign, sinless, obedient, Savior, and the Son of God.  He is Immanuel, immortal, immutable, interminable, infinite, immeasurable, endless, inestimable, enduring, excellent, eternal, evermore, and everlasting.  He is all good, all knowing, all seeing, all present, all powerful, all deserving, almighty, all together righteous, and the All in all. 

Jesus forgave the inexcusable, adopted the cast off, saved the undeserving, delivered the lost, justified the indefensible, redeemed the poor, reconciled the opposing, loved the unlovable, finished the undone, pardoned the sentenced, had mercy on the unmerciful, reclaimed the discarded, regenerated the unregenerate, satisfied the discontent, atoned the guilty, restored the unrepairable, purified the polluted, and accepted the defiled.

He fed the hungry, quenched the thirsty, cleansed the filthy, comforted the sorrowful, strengthened the weak, healed the sick, defended the unarmed, raised the dead, conquered the enemy, blessed the young, lighted the world, silenced the critics, purchased the worthless, assured the hopeless, purged the temple, calmed storms, embraced the troubled, taught the uneducated, ruled the elements, freed the captive, loosed the bound, prayed for His own, lightened our burdens, eased our yokes, fulfilled every jot, and carried out every tittle.

The facts could not deny Him, Herod could not kill Him, Satan could not entice Him, doctors could not stump Him, lawyers could not entangle Him, Sadducees could not trick Him, Pharisees could not catch Him, Pilot could not find fault in Him, Roman soldiers could not guard Him, death could not keep Him, the grave could not hold Him, and the heavens could not contain Him. 

I have enjoyed writing about Jesus in The Danielsville Monitor over the past two years.  Being this is the newspaper’s last issue I attempted to tell all in one final effort, but came short - for I suppose even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written  -  John 21:25.  He truly is indescribable!

Love is Doing

(printed December 30, 2005)

John 21:15-17  records a conversation between Jesus and Peter while on a seashore.  Three times Jesus asked Peter "Lovest thou me?"  Each time Peter answered Jesus in the affirmative, but Jesus responded to each affirmative answer with:  feed my lambs, feed my sheep, feed my sheep.   Somehow I get the idea Jesus wasn’t interested in Peter’s feelings toward the sheep.  I get the idea Jesus wanted Peter to show his love with actions and not with words.

Beloved, Bible love is defined by what you do, not what you feel.  Consider the following:
*  Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins  -  1John 4:10.  Aren’t you thankful God’s love did not stop with feelings?   God’s love was manifest by sending His Son to be our savior.
*  For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments …  -  1John 5:3.  Our love toward God ought not be characterized simply with warm feelings.  Our love toward God ought to be manifest with obedience and submission.
* My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth  -  1John 3:18.  Think about a person in which the only manifestation of love they show towards a spouse is words; never a kind act, a touch, or a token of affection, - just words.  My friends, that’s a broken marriage.

Jesus said, "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another"  -  John 13:34.  How did Jesus love?  Through feelings?  Yes, on several occasions we see Jesus showing compassion or weeping for His people.  But that’s not all He did.  He also fed us.  He taught us.  He doctored us.  He comforted us.  He prayed for us.  But most importantly, He laid down His life for us.  That’s Bible love, the love we ought to show toward one another.  May the Lord help us love by doing.
