The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Revelation 21:6-8, “And He said to me, ‘It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the

beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life

without cost.

7 “He who overcomes shall inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son.

8 “But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons

and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and

brimstone, which is the second death.’”

The Scriptures teach us that when Lucifer (“light bearer”) rebelled against the LORD, he was

displaced from his previously exalted, angelic position and renamed “Satan.” He continues to possess wisdom, but it is corrupted wisdom and inculcates devious behaviors. Satan is a deceiver, seeking to lead mankind into his demonic cesspool of amalgamated thought. All of that is to say that all thought that departs from Holy Scripture is an adaptation of Satanic thought, regardless of its intensity.

Remember the saying that you learned in High School chemistry? “What little Johnny used to be, little Johnny is no more; for what he thought was H20 was H2SO4.” Adaptation of that rule to all aspects of human society (science, religion, politics, etc.) is precisely what Satan wishes all mankind to embrace. Once the moral absolutes as set forth in Holy Scripture are eliminated, man becomes his own god, sets his own rules, and lives by his own standards. All law then becomes whatever standard is embraced as the desire of every single individual.

I’m sure I’ve mentioned previously somewhere in these Letters that when I was a teenager, living in Missouri, the legal speed limit on the highways was “reasonable and proper.” Ultimately, it had to be changed because each driver thought he was being “reasonable and proper,” despite what other drivers thought. Imagine an accountant who set his own standards of addition and subtraction.

Almighty God created our heavens and our Earth. We live on a huge planet that operates on the standards the Creator Himself established. True wisdom, too, comes from our Creator. Over time, man who elected to be his own god and operated by the standards of his own wisdom, mismanaged the Creator’s purpose for him, as merely superintending the Earth.

Make no mistake about it: There is no god, except the LORD God Almighty! You are not God; the government is not God. Satan is not God. Only God the Father, the LORD Jesus Christ,

and the Holy Spirit are God. The Word of God, the Holy Scriptures alone, are the collective wisdom of God that he allows man read and know. Deviations from the clear instruction of Holy Scripture (Genesis to Revelation) come from the pens of those who mistake themselves to be God. Human “wisdom” pales over time when examined in the light of God’s invincible Word!

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own

understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make

your paths straight” (Prov. 3:5-6).

Heartily in Christ Jesus,
