PROOF (PART TWO)
WHY DO THESE THINGS KEEP HAPPENING?
“And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. “
Until we stop heeding the warnings…
And do what we want to do in spite of the warnings…
Resulting in lung cancer…
AIDS…
Drug addiction…
Broken marriage covenants…
Damaged and abused children, who sometimes grow into damaging and abusing adults…
Murder…
Terrorism…
Theft…
Prison…
Early death.
The Designer built in systems of warning and correcting…
But, we choose to choose other ways to live…
Pretending that there is no designer…
Pretending that we can figure it all out on our own…
Pretending that the Designer’s love doesn’t matter.
We lose.
If you smoke, or used to smoke, do you remember that first cigarette?
You know, the one that you took in that smoke that smelled so good, and you coughed, and coughed?
And your friend might have said, “Oh, it does that at first, but you’ll get used to it, and you won’t cough any more.”
Or maybe, it was your first alcoholic drink.
The taste was horrible, and you couldn’t imagine how anyone could like that.
But your friend was there. “Oh, it tastes bad at first, but you’ll get used to it. Then you will really enjoy it.”
Maybe you were pressured into shoplifting, or breaking into a locked building, or driving way too fast. Fear overwhelmed you. You wanted to run away. “But your friend,”Oh, it’s always like that the first time. Before long, you’ll realize that that fear turns into exhilaration. It’s kinda like, you get used to it.
I guess we are talking about warning signs.
