We live in a world where the illusion of control is paramount. People build their lives around the idea that they can avoid death, worship idols of political correctness and societal trends, and yet dismiss the existence of God. As someone who has faced death and been resurrected twice after surgeries, I can attest that the control we think we have is nothing but a mirage.
The Reality of Mortality
Despite our advancements in science and medicine, the inevitability of death remains. Scripture reminds us of this in Ecclesiastes 3:2, which states, "A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot." No matter how much we strive to extend our lives, the reality of mortality is an undeniable truth.
The Worship of Woke Idols
In our society, there is a growing trend of worshiping woke idols. People align themselves with ideologies and movements, seeking purpose and identity. These modern idols, however, are fleeting and ultimately unfulfilling. The Bible warns against such idolatry in Romans 1:25, "They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen."
My Resurrection and the Road to Emmaus
My personal journey has been marked by extraordinary events. I have been resurrected twice after surgeries, a testament to the divine intervention and grace of God. Additionally, I once had a dream about the 'road to Emmaus' (Luke 24:13-35). In this dream, I saw things through the eyes of Jesus, understanding the depth of His sacrifice and love for humanity. This experience profoundly shaped my faith and understanding of God's plan for our lives.
The Failure of Modern Churches
One of the most disheartening aspects of modern churches, including conservative ones, is their focus on money. Churches often ask for tithes and offerings, creating a financial burden on their congregations. However, it is crucial to remember that only man needs money, not God. The Bible emphasizes this in Matthew 6:24, "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money."
Conclusion
As we navigate our lives, it is essential to recognize the illusions that surround us. We cannot escape death, and worshiping modern idols will not fulfill our spiritual needs. My experiences of resurrection and divine revelation have shown me the importance of true faith in God. Moreover, we must challenge the financial focus of our churches, remembering that our relationship with God is not contingent on monetary contributions. Let us return to a faith that is pure, undiluted by the demands of this world, and rooted in the eternal truths of Scripture.
