Dear Friends ~

Creator God, who is our Heavenly Father, is so misconceived by the secular culture as some sort of tyrannical despot who demands obedience to unfair rules, when in reality those rules are mostly for our good, not His!   Yes, He requires we acknowledge His Supremacy with respect, and why shouldn’t He?  Realize, really comprehend, He, and He alone gave us life, a very comfortable and provided for material existence…. but, as our Spiritual Father, He really comes through with provisions for metaphysical happiness available nowhere else!  And for that, why shouldn’t He be respected and acknowledged!  By His Supreme ranking in the cosmos, He is entitled to govern, but that office is administered not by a dictator, but a father… a father who loves and cares for His children, spiritual progeny who acknowledge His being and return His love which was extended first.

 Jesus constantly exemplified God The Father in His actions and words to show that the invisible Supreme Being is genuine love, a constant and cognizant provider who is available 24/7.  While The Father may have commanded that we “Keep Holy the Sabbath” in order to maintain the respect due Him, it is more so for our benefit because of the spiritual rejuvenation it appropriates for us.  We need that day of rest just as God took for Himself after creating our world!  So, when Jesus says the Sabbath, a day of respectful leisure, was made for man, He means The Father prioritized righteous pleasure a requirement for man, and not that man was made only to exist for righteous service to Almighty God!  God created us in His image, which means we belong to His Family, His heirs He wants success and happiness for, not the dominance of Master and slave!  As Creator of everything, we can give Almighty God nothing that He doesn’t already have; we can give Him naught but our love,  which is what He greatly desires and rejoices in… our freely offered belief, faith, trust in Him with love and gratitude for His efforts is all He wants, but never demands.        

The immensity of God’s love for us shows in creation’s material and spiritual perfection while we were given a free will to acknowledge Him or not… freedom of choice came first from Almighty God…  we were not created like puppets or slaves to be manipulated for His purposes or pleasure, which is what a true dictator would do.  We were created for our own uniquely fingerprinted existence searching for happiness with the help of a Heavenly Father who would serve our needs, not necessarily the other way around.  Yes, there are some of us who choose with our free will to serve that Almighty God out of love and in recognition of proclaiming His truths, for the knowledge of God acting in one's life once experienced cannot be denied, only revealed.

The secular culture exists to gratify self, which is just the opposite of true love that cares for another first… that is why they don’t understand a God of love who gives, not takes!  They can’t possibly comprehend in their ignorance that His rules are not for dominance, but rather as guidelines that will benefit our behavior and us, not Him!  They conjure up all sorts of ludicrous assumptions of what they think He is rather than studying and reading the revelations of what He truly is!  If they studied, really studied His truths, the logic of His Being would be made evident, something a closed-mind is unwilling to pursue.  A growing selfish culture that can’t think past self,  that does only for self,  will find itself in a hellish existence some day… burnt out by self-indulgence… all because they ignored His rules for life and unknowingly chose eternal hell-fire death instead. To those who are His children and willingly seek to honor The Father, they will find that an Almighty God of such love has in store for them much more than a Sabbath day of rest, but an eternity of Heavenly bliss, which can begin anytime, even here on earth.
