Today’s Thought “Used Car Salesman” G. Ward

1 Corinthians 2:14

The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

My early days, surrendered to the Lord, maintained an unrelenting, over-sensitive posture concerning the grace of Holy God’s redemption unto man, ignorantly, believing no one could reject such a message (cf. John 6:63-67). Doing so, witnessed many sensing my anger and so many replied with usual callousness, expressive in why they don’t attend any fellowship. It increased my curiosity to why any would deny such a Magnificent Savior, to now know they merely rejected a knuckle-headed new convert, overly zealous.

Although my tenacity to such a witness is unchanged, I now do so to more contemplate our Lord’s Truth that mandates “Love” as the center-point. The over-zealous, along with post-modern fellowships who can subvert God’s Truth are/have been instrumental at lending credence to an unbeliever’s skepticism; but the chieftain of spiritual disconnect (actualized) is to know that not everyone will come to know our Lord on HIS terms (John 6:44) and whereas HE never shared who would, we maintain dependence on HIS Word (2 Pe.3:9), presenting HIM as solely worthy of their highest expression of praise (i.e., to do HIS will) and not elevate mere humans who talk too much.
