Can we be honest about Alligator Lizards?

Can we be honest with each other?  Really, can we?  Here is some evidence that I would like to bring before you about the nature of men.  All men (and yes, that includes scientist, politicians, authors, teachers, and celebrities too).

• Psalm 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
• Romans 3:4  let God be true, but every man a liar;
• Psalm 116:11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.
• Romans 3:13Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: 
• Jeremiah 10:14  Every man is brutish [stupid; barbarous] in his knowledge:

Now that we are are drooping like a wet sock, let's consider the following:

• Psalm 119:160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
• Psalm 117:2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever.
• Psalm 147:5  Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.

There is truth, but it isn't found in your heart and it isn't found in the wisdom of men. Since the beginning, Satan has attacked God’s word telling Eve “Ye shall not surely die” when God said they would if they ate the fruit.  Eve had to ask herself “who am I going to believe?”  It was a direct attack on the authority of God’s word.  Every since, man and Devil alike have attacked God’s word, its truthfulness, its accuracy, its reliability, its authenticity; yet the Word of God remains!  We must use the bible as our proof and standard, because it is the best proof and it would be foolish not to. 


When it comes to creation, marriage, politics, family, or anything area of life, why should the Christian give more credence and weight to a man than the pure Word of God? Why follow an actor who makes a living pretending to be someone else, reading what someone else wrote. Who are you going to believe? 


Some will trust their souls on the words of a musician or musical artists (or is it arteests?). If you are caught up in the hype and are being influenced by a rock star here is a fun exercise. Write down the lyrics and read them out loud in front of people. That should sufficiently reveal the weight of their intellectual fire power and perhaps shed some light on their inability to be a guide for your eternal soul. As the poets of America profoundly said...

Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair 
And the days surround your daylight there 
Seasons crying no despair 
Alligator lizards in the air, in the air 


Did di di di dit ... 


Alligator lizards indeed.
