Playing Religion?
Fear of the Lord is the beginning of
wisdom but fools despise it
Prov. 1:7
I am very conscious of the fact
that among Daily Energiser readers are people of diverse faiths. They may love the messages but if they could
they would have asked me to quote less from the Bible and just make my
statements and leave.
I tried to do this at the inception
of Daily Energiser. However at a stage,
I realised that my writings are vastly
influenced by what God has said on any topic. So I decided to acknowledge the
Owner of the inspirations as well as His words which I think is what we do even
in our secular intellectual property community.
However, this is not to say I am
concerned only with my fellow Christians.
Far from it!. My thinking is that
those who are seeking after WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING based on the
truth do not play religion. Playing
religion does not save anybody. Rather,
it breeds discrimination and vain arguments.
But the truth that one knows sets one free!
Let’s be frank to ourselves. It does not matter which religion one
belongs, the fact remains that what God says concerning all issues of life has
universal application to us all e.g. Prov. 6:32 says: “But the man who commits adultery
is an utter fool, for he destroys himself.” This statement is a
universal truth for all men as it does not matter which religion they belong. Also the verse quoted on top of this document
on the fear of the Lord is relevant to all.
Likewise God’s statement concerning the danger in engaging in alcoholism! Therefore to apply play religion and reject
these statements is to lose treasures that would have enhanced one’s life as a
Wisdom and Knowledge seeker.
Even when I introduce readers to
Jesus Christ in my write up, I do it for the sole purpose of love, not
religion. I am offering to them a
product I have tasted, tested and found to be an effective antidote to the cure
illnesses that may be plaguing them whether in their health, career, marriage,
parenting, retirement and of course the only antidote against the fear of death
even in old age and a guarantee for living an everlasting life after this
world. If I love my friends, I could not
have come across such potent ‘drug’ and keep it to myself! If not for Christ, who would have made my
life which was pre-programmed to fail by Satan to succeed the way it is doing and
who would have given me the heart of self-less service to fellow human beings?
I therefore humbly implore all
readers of Daily Energiser world-wide, irrespective of their religious biases,
never to play religion for the “Fear of the Lord” is of universal application
as only those who fear the Lord can do what is right and just to their fellow
men. Good morning.
