Today’s Thought “Ships Without Lifeboats” G. Ward Philippians 2:9-11 For this reason also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Our times have perhaps outdone prior generations as to blatant refusal to call Christ – LORD and whereas doing so indicates a total surrender of every idea in what a journey in earth could be, by embracing the only spiritual script granting eternal peace with the Only God, many run aimlessly. While the Devil is presumed to be the blame, we have high percentages in just about every hamlet proclaiming Christ as Lord, yet totally absorbed in a varied outward expression that praises God, but violating HIS greatest demand (*Matt.28:19); particularly after HIS SON paid the supreme price for their disconnect (i.e., sin). It proves a consumerism unsanctioned, keeps one saturated with things and conditions of euphoric proportion, CENTRAL to all they’ll endeavor and when trials and sufferings happen, they bind those adversities, because they were never taught that no generation of man escaped those same actualities (cf. Ro.8:18).
