The Final Judgement Will Not Be Overturned


You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say may be used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you
If you decide to answer questions now, you will still have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to an attorney.
Do you know and understand your rights as I have explained them to you?

  I’m sure you heard this all before, hopefully not directly. It has been a staple of every cop shop and movie for the last thirty-five years.  It’s known as the Miranda warning after the court case that established that suspect under arrest must be informed of their right.


  The case involved Ernesto Miranda who confessed to kidnapping, rape, and armed robbery. His attorney took the case to the Supreme Court and was able to have the case overturned since he was not informed of his right to remain silent or to an attorney. He didn’t escape justice however. The confession was disallowed but the State of Arizona had enough other evidence to convict him. He went to prison and was paroled in 1972.

  But life can be ironic. On the 31st of January, 1976, Miranda was involved in a violent argument during a card game, and was stabbed to death. His assailant, a Mexican national, was because of the ruling was fully informed of his right to remain silent. So he chose to exercise his right.  Without enough evidence to hold the suspect, he was released and fled to Mexico where he disappeared.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
2nd Corinthians 5:10

  Justice in this world is never a sure thing. The guilty go free, the innocent get punished. We attempt fairness and equity, but our human limits seeming prohibit that. But God isn’t limited. He sees all and knows all. On the Day of Judgment all his ruling will be upheld, since they will be right. No one will escape custody; no one will be unfairly punished, no one will get off of a technicality. It’s a scary prospect for us since we all stand guilty.

  We however will not be left without the opportunity to have one to represent us. He have advocate

 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;
1 John 2:1
This attorney is provided but you do have to listen to him. He has a way for you to be pardon. You won’t pay but you must obey.

You can’t however remain silent, you must confess him.
You can have an advocate if you put your belief in him. He is provided as a free gift.
You must be willing to change; there is no going back it the crime that got you here in the first place. The old man has to die and get buried, for the new man to go free.


Do you know and understand this plan as I have explained them to you?

Why Does A Lion Tamer Use a Chair?

  Ok, I know you have seen the image. A lion tamer enters in the cage of the beast and forces it to obey his commands using a whip, a gun and a chair. Now you can see how the whip and gun could come in handy but you might be wondering why a chair would intimidate an animal as powerful as a lion? Clyde Beatty taming a lion with a chair   It's not that the lion is afraid of the chair -- it's that the lion is confused by the chair. Cats are single-minded, and the points of the chair's four legs bobbing around confuse the lion enough that it loses its train of thought. Casually put, the chair distracts the lion from wanting to claw the lion tamer's face off. The powerful creature could destroy the chair in moment’s notice but instead it is distracted into submission.  It’s not too much different than how Satan controls us today. By the power of God we could overcome anything that he would use to subdue us. We can overcome the evil one (1 st John 2:13-14). ...

The Right to Arm Bears

  In the book of 2 nd Kings 2, we have one of the most unusual, violent and curious passages in scripture. It involves the prophet Elisha siccing a couple of bears on some kids that were mocking his bald head.    As a guy that is a little light on top that has been around some surly kids, I can feel for the guy. But seriously a bear attack? On kids? What is going on? ….young lads came out from the city and mocked him and said to him, "Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead!"  When he looked behind him and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two lads of their number. 2 nd Kings 2:23-25  It might help to explore the passage a bit more. The baldhead statement: This was an identifying mark of the prophet as opposed to Elijah who was hairy (1st Kings 1:8) a jab to say you are not him. The taunt to go up: Elijah has just been taken into heaven by the Lord a sight seen by ...

The Mighty Gulf

  It is hard to get people on two sides of an issue to come together. Each has their own viewpoint, their perceptive, their own foibles, their own understanding.  To gain any common ground there must be something in common. Something or someone that can bridge the gulf between the two.   Could there be a greater gulf than there was between God and man? How could a holy perfect God find a way to connect to the fallen, imperfect mankind? How can one without temptation connect to those who are beset by it? How could limited mortal beings understand an omnipotent eternal God?   In 1 Timothy 2:5, we read, “ For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus .” The phrase mediator here describes a person that bridges the gap, a go-between. Jesus was one who could stand in both worlds. A perfect holy one who can understand our temptations, a man who would die yet live eternally, One who was God yet became flesh and dwelt among us. ...
