ideas reflect a “Throw them all into a pile, and control them" bias. This they hope will cause a social evolution into a progressively more serene and well-behaved world.

 However, the only problem with their modern, progressive manufactured thinking is that while the principle may describe reasonable and cost-effective car making, it does not translate well toward the blending of the children of God. Where the political realm attempts to blend religions, the traditional Christian church vehemently disagrees.

 

Individual Customs!

You see, we Christians distinctly relate that each person is baptized as unique. Through the Holy Spirit our Lord Jesus saves us from futile universalistic thinking. God speaks and embraces our individuality. Our Lord knows our name!

 By this knowledge, we Christians find ourselves more unique than a custom ’49 Merc with purple paint job, spotlights and bubble skirts.

 Don’t be fooled by any demonic voices that call for religious “diversity”. These fools hope that social upheaval over time will bring a homogenized peaceful bubble that they can control.

 While we Christians surely welcome human diversity, we see this as a word that describes a person’s race, ethnicity and nationality… but not our religion.
 Please note that I believe that religious diversity should not be a methodical long-term aim of the Christian church. While we accept the freedom of any person to claim allegiance to a particular religion, diversity is not our evangelical calling. We recognize that we are to be diverse as God’s individual children, but are called to witness as Christian in faith. Our unified witness declares the radical claim that Jesus shows the only Way to

properly worship God. As our Lord Jesus said to his disciples..,

 “Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way where I am going.”

 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also; henceforth you know him and have seen him.”  (John 14:1-7)

 Consequently, just as we cannot duplicate the mystique of an old Mercury, no one replicates these radical, scandalous words. By scriptural authority, Jesus made it clear to Christians that the social scientists are wrong. There is only one Way to get to heaven!

Chopped & Lowered...

 Consider that sin clings to humans like a rust spot eating away in the right-rear lower fender of a vintage ‘57 Mercury two-door hardtop. No matter what rust-proofing you use or what color is painted over that original bright yellow... the rot will one day show.

 The cure for our spiritual rot is to know that Jesus is the Way… the only Way. Jesus paid the penalty for our sins against God, and he is
