SCARECROWS

For me these are the phantom, self appointed spiritual types. They love to convince you they are able to chase away any evil crows, but never do.

Warriors for the Lord who were never called. Oh they have lots of zeal and lots of ability to quote scripture, but no true anointing.

And you can be sure they will never be willing to admit it. Nope that is not there point of view.

Instead they are focused on salvation by appearance. My view you understand. And my opinion.

But it sure seems to be the focus. As long as you don't get caught you are find. And if you look like a spiritual scarecrow that is enough.

It might be all a con. A joke in everyone else's eyes, but not to them. They are so totally persuaded that how you look saves they wouldn't listen anyway.

Part of the sad delusion of the life by self righteous choice. Oh it looks good. Down right impressive at times.

However, it does not take the place of faith. No matter how pure it seems, regardless of how much it feels so good, it isn't faith.

Some times this can be so appealing. It does impress others. As long as they don't look underneath the mask.

Then it can truly look ugly. A terrible hideous face of sin. One that never gets looked at in the mirror.

But then I am happy that I did learn that part. It does make life easier to cope with when I see the pointlessness of such pursuits.

However, it doesn't change tomorrow or God. It will not heal or help to save. Just make spiritual corpses.

Perhaps the Lord will be merciful to those that make themselves his angels on earth even if they are not. Who pretend to speak for God when not so called.

I only know the path of faith is the only one that saves. And that has to be about faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior.

Another option will not save. Nor will it any way impress God. But it can feel good just the same to some.

Which is the truly sad part.
