Most people do not delve deeply into the events of the world. They are too busy.
Or they just trust select sources to give them what the truth is. To tell them what is happening.
And what to think.
Others delve more deeply. They may care more and want to be sure of what is true.
Yet, they make the same mistakes as the first group. They trust a limited group of sources to tell them what is happening.
And what to believe.
It seems like the re-definition of every major biblical doctrine is in full swing.
Every word, every doctrine, every major part of the gospel is being deconstructed today.
Just go onto YouTube and look up any major, fundamental truth of scripture. There you will find a host of men, women, theologians, pastors, writers, and whoever telling us that what the Bible says is not correct.
Or let’s put it another way, they say that our understanding of the gospel of salvation or the character of Jesus Christ or the historical record of the Bible is not correct in the way that we’ve been taught. That the true gospel has been lost over time.
And that everyone will eventually be saved after all. Or is already saved!!
But they just don’t know it yet!!!???

Perhaps that sounds like a strange statement.
But we live in an age when everyone seems to know what the gospel is. Or at least they say that they do.
Leading to interpretations of what the gospel is being scattered all over the map. With new interpretations popping up all the time. New heresies, old heresies, and a bunch of mutations on the new and old combined.
Along with new teachers telling us all about how to have gospel-centered ministries. And how to transform your church into a gospel-centered one.
With very few of these “gospel-centered” ideas actually being Bible centered – let alone Christ centered.
Because their view of the gospel is based on or influenced by many things not related to the Bible.
From all this ministry talk, one might think that the gospel must be a very fluid thing. Something customizable, like clay formed by a potter. Something that can be conformed to suit or appeal to the culture or the times in which people live.
But it is not.

If you observe those who reject the Bible, they often assume an “intellectual” posture while pretending to be smarter than the Bible believer.
In other words, they presume to stand on a position of authority high above that of those who believe in the literal record of the scriptures.
Whatever type or level of education they hold to is set forth as their basis of truth and their proof of intellectual superiority. Generally, because they have completed some course of study after which they were issued a certificate or title or plaque declaring how smart they are.
And therefore, they are superior to others. Superior in the form of science, technical training, formal education, degrees, status, or some selected facts they have memorized and regurgitated to please their college professors. Based upon the philosophical and religious biases of their professors and universities.
This presumption of intellectual and philosophical superiority accounts for much of biblical denial.
Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the media has been spewing a lot of poison toward Charlie and Conservatives in general.
But if there can actually be any value in any of their responses, it’s that they now seem to be more open and honest about their hate. Their carefully camouflaged hypocrisy seems to be disappearing.
Which means that their basic message has become more transparent.
That message appears to be the following:
That’s it in a nutshell. Nothing to see here really.
Except a major philosophical and moral leap across the chasm of reason.

A man cannot stand before God on his own.
A man’s righteousness, even that of the best of men, is nothing but filthy rags before the perfectly holy God of all Creation.
So, men look for a substitute. Something or someone that will represent them before the Lord. Something, other than themselves, that they can rely upon and stand behind.
This is why the Substitutionary Atonement of Christ is so critical. Without the Lord standing in the place of a man, he has no hope whatsoever.
Regardless of who that man is.

This question is about the direction of our gaze.
Or, to put it another way, where our real hope is found.
For example, are we trying to be good enough? Or are we trying to improve ourselves? Or are we trying to feel right with the Lord?
Because, if we are. we are wasting our time.

When I first trusted in Christ as my Savior, I had no doubt that He had died in my place.
I was fully persuaded that His death and suffering and blood had paid the Full Price for my sins.
I never entertained some theological charge that God was engaging in some kind of “child abuse” toward His Son! Never did I think such as thing!
And yet, there are men and women today, within the highest levels of Evangelical Christianity, that say this is the case. That God would never sacrifice His Son to pay for the sins of men.
And those same men and women are not rebuked for their heresy; but are heralded as great men of God by the mainstream Evangelical church.
A simple question.
What is your Authority?
In other words, what is the reason, foundation, source for your spiritual choices?
For example, the atheist denies the existence of God. And, consequently, denies that he has any sin. Or has done any sin. And has nothing to confess.
In fact, he doesn’t even believe there is anyone he has to confess to!
He does this based upon whatever authority he has chosen to follow.
Every person that has ever lived has chosen some authority to follow. To believe in.
We each must choose. There is no escaping this reality.
