Can we all just get along?

Some of you older folks might remember the Rodney King episode during the Los Angeles riots in 1992. He was the guy that was beat up by the LAPD, which eventually caused the start of the famous LA riots, which began on April 29th and ended on May 4th. On May 1st Rodney spoke his famous words "People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along?" What a catch phrase! People have been using it for 20 years now and I'm sure there are many TV writers, directors and producers who wish they would have come up with one even half as good.

Yet we remember the words of Franklin D. Roosevelt who said "In Politics, nothing is accidental. If something happens, be assured it was planned this way." so you can rest assured that the LA riots were most definitely planned to accomplish a political goal, among other things, one of which is a ritual of sorts that falls on May 1st called "May Day". 

When you hear "May Day" you may recognize it from old WWII movies where a pilot of a troubled vessel calling for help. (The line goes "mayday, mayday, mayday") We are told that it originated from the French word m'aiders but the truth is it is was chosen to honor "May Day" which itself is celebrated by trouble. It is more openly associated with labor's struggle or the workers revolution, which is often celebrated by parades (May Day parade) and less openly but much more surprisingly celebrated in a morbid fashion by staging riots throughout the world.

Of course the entire day is steeped in paganism which is the real reason for the riots but I really don't wish to write about all of that but I'll just ask you to pay attention on May 1st and see if there is a riot of some sort happening. Sometimes it is a big one, sometimes it is small one and perhaps they skip a year here and there but just watch May 1st and see what happens. 

Anyway, be that as it may (no pun intended), my main point is not uncovering the elite's conspiracy to bring in their New World Order but instead to discuss a topic that may help you understand more about the truth and how it is found by walking the straight and narrow way. 

Years ago when I first dedicated my life to Christ I remember thinking to myself that one of the goals I felt lead to accomplish was to bring everyone together. I remember thinking that I could start small and begin visiting churches and talking with pastors and after saying all the right things everyone would begin to see that we "could all just get along".

Just like Rodney! What a great plan I had.

Unfortunately for me I had to realize that God was in charge, not me. The more I studied and learned the more I realized that God's plan did not include everyone joining hands and singing "kum bay ya". What a surprise! I mean it, I was shocked that a God of love didn't want to sing "kum bay ya" with everyone.

You see we are supposed to love but we don't just love everything and everyone. We should love our brothers and sisters in Christ and we should love the Truth. We should have an undying love of the Truth. I capitalize "Truth" because I am referring to our Savior Christ Jesus. (after all, that is one of His names).

While we should live peaceably with all men we are not supposed to "get along" in the sense that we compromise the Truth. We shouldn't look for trouble and we should avoid it if possible but again our first goal should not be to come to some sort of agreement with anyone that doesn't love the Truth. How can you live peaceably and not compromise the Truth? You can avoid trouble often by simply removing yourself from a situation. Don't fuss and argue, just walk away quietly.

Fact is, if you don't love the Truth you will probably be offended by things that I say and I don't even have to try to offend you, the Truth will offend on His own. The Bible says in Matthew 10:34 "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword."

So what are we going to do? I mean what a drag huh? No hand holding... no "kum bay ya"... what's a touchy-feely Christian supposed to do anyway? After all we really wanted to get in a circle and hold hands and sing that blasted song!!

Oh well, just one more thing that God has had to get through my thick skull. I am quite the moron sometimes, incase you felt like I save all my criticism for my readers. I am no better than anyone else, I have to realize when I am wrong and let me tell you it happens quite often.

But I have a love of the Truth. Do you understand that?

It really doesn't matter what you know or whether you are right or wrong, it matters more whether you love the Truth or not. Now, we are not supposed to be ignorant and we definitely should not remain ignorant, because the Holy Ghost leads us from our despicable condition into all Truth and righteousness. The question becomes "are you willing to let go of what you think the Truth is in favor of the real Truth?"

Jesus tells us that John the Baptist was the greatest of all men that have been on the earth but the least in Heaven is greater than he. So, if John the Baptist could not attain the greatness known in Heaven how in the world would any of us think that we could attain it? We can't!

We are wretched and miserable creatures beyond hope except for the hope of ONE, Christ Jesus. Who as Isaiah says in 53:5 "...was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."

It isn't our goodness that's in question, it isn't how right or wrong we are, it is all about Him. Jesus the Christ of God. The Anointed One, the Root and Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning star, the First and Last, the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the Lilies of the Valley, the Rose of Sharon, the Amen, the Lamb that was slain, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the son of David, the son of Abraham, the only begotten of the Father, the great I AM, the Word of God, the Way, the Truth and the Life.

"And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever." Revelation 5:13

Glory be to HIS name!

For HE is worthy! Jesus Christ is worthy!

Why is our road straight and narrow? It isn't that way simply to keep you from having any so called "fun". Nor is that the only reason that keeps people from walking it. It is straight and narrow also because almost no one uses it because most people will not humble themselves. If everyone would humble themselves and seek the Truth then it would be a wide road, a broad road and easily traveled because it would have been well worn from all the traffic but that is not the case, there is little traffic on this road.

Paul speaks of a race. It is a race of fierce competition yet not many runners.

I hope you can better see why "we can't all just get along". It's just not going to happen and it was never intended to be that way. We only truly "get along" with the Truth and those that do the will of the Father.

It is strange but while we advocate peace it is God's peace, not the peace of the world. While we advocate love it is God's love, not love of the world. While we advocate hope and faith it is hope and faith in God and not hope and faith in the world.

We love God, not the world, therefore the world hates us because they first hated him and they will not just "get along".

For they have not the love of the Truth.
