Purpose: Reveal the brokenness of humanistic secularism against the glorious power of God's grace through which He willingly pours out His goodness into our personal lives and society.

Two Choices, Two Ways

As we melt down all our life choices, we end up choosing between God’s blessing or secularism, grace or works, faith or sight, God’s kingdom or the world.

The choice is either God’s way or our own ways. We tend to cloud up our choices so to avoid responsibility, but in the end we will choose either to follow God or our flesh. listen to God our Father or Satan the father of lies.

The choice is God’s way or our way.

Some might think this is an oversimplification of the issue. But if this was so, how could the Lord speak so clearly that the choice is between light or darkness. There is no middle area of grey. Either we follow Jesus or not.

The belief in this grey area of life lulls many into a deep sleep. Most people would deny their worldly tendencies but at the same time choose to cohabit with the world.

They are most comfortable to live in the great ‘no–fault’ area between heaven and hell – though there be no such place.

The worldly preacher and false prophets are largely to blame. They have the light but choose not to proclaim it. Instead they take the world’s message and clothe it with religious clothing.

“Who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail; Our lips are our own; who is lord over us?” (Psalms 12:4, NASB).

“Do all the workers of wickedness not know, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call upon the LORD?” (Psalms 14:4, NASB).

Let us instead choose God’s grace. But before we can do this, we must confess our inability to help ourselves. Notice how in Psalm 20:2 he recognizes his need for help.

“May He send you help from the sanctuary, And support you from Zion!” (Psalms 20:2).

When it comes down to the basics, man must confess he has need and cannot rightly care for himself. His heart is innately wicked. Secondly, he must turn to Jesus Christ for help for there the rivers of life can and will be poured out.
