Human Effort

There is no act of human effort, no amount agreement or numbers of troops of fighters in the courts or the government or on the battle fields of the world, that can in any way alter the course of a town, state, nation or world. The only action that can alter the course of human dignity and social evolution is the action of a sovereign GOD.

There is no fatalism in Christianity. There is only surrender. We are not existing a a state of zero accountability, but rather in a state of absolute (even hyper) accountability. We are not the victims of a power greater than ourselves. We are cared for by that power. We are, however, victims of our own failure to comprehend the GOD of our salvation. We are victims of our own choice to not seek HIM diligently where HE can be found.

Of all the people in this world, there is only one group that should have the knowledge and ability to sustain a condition of life capable to achieving a lasting and permanent flow of blessings and peace for our creator. That group of people is the Christian church.

We alone hold the keys to the heart and mind of GOD. We alone have been chosen to be the recipient of HIS love and promises. Indeed, GOD Himself has testified that we alone or the object of HIS affections and love and it is in our actions that HIS interactions are based and established.

It is unique that within us there is no ability to do good. With all of our learning and our salvation and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, we are still fully incapable of doing that which is good and right a proper towards GOD without HIS spirit doing it in and through us.

We are not vindicated in this. In fact, it is affirmed in us that we are fully responsible for the chastisements and punishments that come from GOD upon the nations and ourselves. For, indeed, we are all sinners that have fallen short of HIS glory and the calling that is on our lives. We have allowed ourselves to be drawn away from the teachings and precepts of GOD to follow after men, solely because we need to do something and sitting on the couch and praying and trusting in the LORD to handle the ways of HIS world has been described as doing nothing. In truth, it is the most you can do.

There is no other power. There is no other resource. There is no other force in nature or in man. There is, was and always will be, only GOD. In HIM we live and breath and have our being and everything is of HIM and by HIM and for HIM unto HIS magnanimous glory and honor.

If you do not like how GOD is handling HIS business, take it up with HIM. Maybe you will learn something.
