Grace, Peace and Love in the name of Jesus Christ Our Lord.
You already know that the wages of sin is death. (Romans 6:23 [The Holy Bible {KJV}]). Let's examine another Biblilcal fact that is often overlooked.
Have you ever considered what "perplexity" means? Are you able to recognize perplexity when you see it? The Spiritual condition of our current world makes it absolutely necessary for the church to understand the meaning of perplexity and know how to deal with its current prevalent manifestations.
Simply put, "perplexity" means "not knowing what to do". The world is fast speeding into the realm of perplexity (even though we fancy ourselves as being the most educated, most intelligent and most advanced of any generation that has ever lived). Perplexity is enveloping us because we have decided to disallow the possibility of the laws of the Spiritual universe. Maybe you and I have not disallowed those laws but many of the "powers that be" on Planet Earth have disallowed them. Thus, perplexity becomes a mandated Given. (One cannot disallow Almighty God and the laws of His Spiritual Universe and not become perplexed.)
Note well the following: You are not to become perplexed. You are to expect others to become perplexed (because they disallow Almighty God and in so doing it is impossible for them to not become perplexed). You should not become perplexed because you know in Whom you have believed and you already know the results of the sins of mankind (Romans 6:23).
With the current pace of the codification of sin we should expect perplexity not only now but well into the future. Please prepare your children for the perplexity they will face during their lifetimes as a result of the codification of sin that is occurring now. Because of this codification of sin, God will visit His wrath upon Planet Earth (that is His pattern from the Beginning and He will not abide our sins any more than He abided the sins of generations past).
Luke records the Lord Jesus as saying:
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. (Luke 21:25-26 [The Holy Bible {KJV}])
As we minister to a world that is being taught to fast flee the knowledge of Almighty God, we will Save some. Others will be lost. We are not to worry ever but we are to minister ever. God is not worried; He has a place prepared for the Saved and He has a place prepared for the unSaved.
Your responsibility (and mine) is ministry, not perplexity.
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. (Luke 21:25-26 [The Holy Bible {KJV}])
A special note to ministers: Please take serious my messages. Many years ago the Lord gave me the ministry of Bishop.
