We should focus on being Heavenly-minded!
The intellect is at its finest when it considers GOD. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no GOD.” There is a level of genius given to those who start with GOD and go from there towards life.
As I wrote yesterday, Eternity is the cornerstone of logic and reasoning. Once we remove eternity from the equation, we lose all sense of wisdom, all sense of accountability, all sense of purpose.
Once we get rid of the concept of a Creator, we lose the concept of design. If there is no Creator, then there is no design. You can’t have design without a designer. In the big picture, you can’t have design if there is no Creator.
There is no such thing as random design; design has to have a designer. If you remove the concept of a designer, there is no design. If there is no design, then there is no purpose. If there is no purpose, there’s no destiny. If there is no destiny, there is no accountability.
Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 12:
30 And you shall Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.
31 And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
We are designed for Love! Culture is trying to erase the whole concept and understanding of design. We can’t violate design. No matter how much you try to modify your body, your genetic makeup doesn’t change… by design.
We were born to be Loved by GOD and to Love HIM in return. Part of that expression of my Love for GOD must be measurable in my Love for people. If I say that I Love GOD but don’t demonstrate it towards people, you are justified in questioning my Love for GOD because there is no evidence.
Spiritual realities have to be measured in the natural… natural manifestation!
The whole issue of design is attempting to remove the absolute necessity of Wisdom because giving an account of my life, is at the heart and soul of True Biblical Wisdom. Love is at the center of the accounting of our lives.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 14:
7 No one lives to himself and no one dies to himself.
8 While we live, we must live for our Master, and in death we must bring honor to Him. So dead or alive we belong to our Master.
9 For this very reason the Anointed One died and was brought back to life again, so that He would become the Lord God over both the dead and the living.
10 Why would you judge your brothers or sisters because of their diet, despising them for what they eat or don’t eat? For we each will have our turn to stand before God’s judgment seat.
11 Just as it is written: “As surely as I am the Living God, I tell you: ‘Every knee will bow before me and every tongue will confess the Truth and glorify Me!’ ”
12 Therefore, each one must answer for himself and give a personal account of his own life before God.
Once the consciousness of The Designer is removed, then things become scary, and frighteningly random, driven by self-absorption, self-protection, and self-promotion.
Each of us is accountable and will be judged by The Designer based on our adherence to our design and fulfillment of our purpose.
