GOOD....... EVIL...... and NUETRAL???

In the words of the great song writer, poet, and artist, Bob Dylan, "It may be the devil or it may be the Lord, but you gotta serve somebody", he nails it.  We all serve one or the other directly or indirectly.  There is no other choice.  There is a good spirit in the world.  There is an evil spirit in the world.  There is no neutral spirit in the world.  When we act and react, are our actions being influenced by the good spirit or the evil spirit?  Don't misunderstand that I'm talking about being so heavenly in one's day to day interactions that one has no relevance to life on earth.  I personally believe that God expects us to be heavenly when we get to heaven but to be relevant while here on earth.  In order to do that we must deal in the world  but be influenced by the Heavenly Spirit.  I know it's not easy.  When someone figures out a way, please let me know.


I think the hard truth is that as long as we are human beings in the flesh, by definition, we are imperfect and will behave that way.  When someone becomes a "Born Again Christian" they do not become "perfect".  They merely become saved from that imperfection through Grace and nothing else.  Fast forward to the men and women "We The People" elect to public office to represent the rest of us.  Do we want people who are influenced by the good spirit or the evil spirit?  And how do we tell the difference?  I suggest we want the former and I think we can figure out the difference if we are not too lazy and/or apathetic.  The Bible clearly states: "A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit".  - Matthew 7:18 -  We have to invest the time and effort to separate the wheat from the chaff. But first we must care.  We must understand that we have a say and we must understand that we actually CAN make a difference.  Excellent case in point is what happened just this week in Tennessee concerning a school form being changed from "mother and father" to "parent 1 and parent 2".  The outcry from the citizens was so loud and swift that the misguided bureaucrats that came up with this garbage, were forced to put it in the can and at the street before the ink was dry on the forms.


We can make a difference.  WE MUST!     NOW!!  If not us, who?  If not now, when??  Go to www.THEE.ORG to see how.
