JUST BECAUSE

By Rick Mathes

Galatians 1:16 (NASB77) ¹⁶  to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach H im among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood,

Nothing makes me crazier than someone that has an “off the wall” belief with no basis except, “Well, that’s what I believe!” It’s as though truth is whatever you decide it to be regardless of conflicting facts. It’s the old adage, “Don’t confuse me with facts” argument.

Relative or worse, circular thininking about Jesus is carrying the day and solid based reformed and puritanical doctrines are old fashioned with a 2,000 old Bible. The God of our fathers were of God. And the Bible goes back to creation. How about that for old fashioned!

The common scape-goat is society. We claim our attitude toward Christianity I based on what we observe in the society of believers that surround us. I believe this to be a good reason not to be a Christian. Satan has been extremely successful in infiltrating the Church and watering down the truth to be a gospel of another God: this is called religion. Religion is man reducing God to man’s image and likeness that is totally depraved. This, what passes as Christianity is nothing but satanic hypocrisy. Praise God for the small remnant of reformed and puritanical believers such as myself that throughout all ridicule and persecution continue to raise the standards of the only God, the Cross and the Word unadulterated.

In this post-modern period, the relativity of thought, without any constraints or rules of order have produced such a chaos of faith which by definition is insanity. The true standards have been the pillars of reality since the moment of creation: Jesus only, Bible only, Faith only and Grace only!

With Judeo-Christian standards and peferences without any alternative faith system, the Cross of Christ arises again on the shield of the modern day Crusaders. The peer group presses on to believe and obey God’s Word are more than God’s command, they are demans by none other than our worlds only Savior, Jesus Christ.

For those who are paralyzed by questions the devil floods their minds with, I strongly suggest you confess Jesus as your Lord “just because” there isn’t anything better. He is risen!
