Psalm 14:1 & Psalms 15

"The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God."' - Psalm 14:1
 

                     What does it say about Christians when they live like the rest of the world?  They're playing the fool.  "They are corrupt, their deeds are vile," (Psalm 14:2).  If we stick our toe in the sin that everybody else is doing, we're letting ourselves being pulled into saying, "There is no God!  How could there possibly be a God?"  Isn't that scary?  It's terrifying how SO easy it is to be pulled into the mindset of the reset of the world.

"Oh LORD, who shall sojourn in your tent?
Who shall dwell on your holy hill?
He who walks blamelessly and does what is right
and speaks truth in his heart;
who does not slander with his tongue
and does no evil to his neighbor,
not takes up a reproach against his friend;
but who honors those who fear the LORD....
....He who does these things shall never be moved."
-Psalm 15



                   Doesn't that sound so good to your soul?  It's what our Father wants!  As you very well know, there's a problem in-between Psalm 15 and us.  We don't want to turn our agnostic culture.  When I choose the easy thing, I choose to say, "What God?"  And I almost never realize that. 

         "Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour," (1 Peter 4:8).
