The most dangerous Thing...

I saw this on a movie preview. It smaks of thought...

"The most dangerous thing is...More."

more what?
lets explore that.

being the pious type, I, of course, would say more of God. But that in it self is wrong. For we all know God gives us all we can handle. We do not need, nor could we handle more of God. ifwe lack knowledge it is our fault, not His. If we lack intimacy, it is our fqault, not His.

the issue here is God getting more of us. And the danger in that is us loosing our thought of self preservation. The danger of God having more of us comes when we die. Jim Elliot once said, "I prayed a strange prayer today. I prayed God would magnify Himself in me to the utmost, or slay me. By His grace I will not have His second best."

the danger in that is Jim dies a few years later in Ecuador trying to reach the Auca Indians.

the danger in God having more of us is seen in John the Baptist decreasing attitude toward himself. He dies in prison while Jesus is ministering a few miles away.

the danger is seeing God as He is. Moses did. Or at least he tried. Ended up face down in the dirt.

the danger is in understanding God will kill His children to further His kingdom. Ask Stephen.

Today we want to let people see how loving God is. And this is true. After all, it is "His kindness that leads us to repentance."

Hebrews 10:31
"It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God."

Let us not forget that with great love, there is great holiness. We trifle with that as if God was Santa. Many men have tried to trifle with God. It did not work then, it will not work now.

in an age of "let's all just get along", let us remember our place. And His place.
