"We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus
that we are saved."  Acts 15.11

Hi, I am not sure if your e-mail was a mass mailing, or if there
was some reason you choose to send it specifically to me.
I cannot embrace the humanist movement.  It falls short because
it holds us as the highest answer to life; it's questions, joys,
and problems.  There is no doubt in my mind that we should
not be looking to ourselves, but rather outside of ourselves,
if we want to  find the answers to life. There is no 'divine within'
in and of ourselves.  I do have the Divine living inside of me
however.  It happened when I acknowledged Jesus as God,
and the Holy Spirit entered my life.

Previously, my search took me down the path of self and it
led nowhere.  The ideas of men only took me as high as man.
And that's not very high!  The Divine is beyond us,  and if we
wish to know divine things we must meet Divinity.

"For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form..." 

That is found in God's Word, the book of Colossians, chapter 2,
verse 9.  Now many people have tried to offer me other things,
but as I have often said,  "Why would I want them?"   I have
found Deity!  Can you offer me something better than that?
I don't think so!   The same passage tells me that I have been
given fullness in Christ.  He is Deity,  and I have been given
fullness in Him.  Now, humanism pales to that.  It tries to make
me the god, which plainly I am not.  If we are all gods,  we sure
are puny ones.

I look outside my window and look at the world He created,
and all my stuff looks pretty small and drab in comparison.
All our great accomplishments look pretty small in fact.  We
sent a man to the moon as a show of our achievement;  God 
created the moon and the rest of the universe that we have
only managed to send a few unmanned explorers to.  (These
are so weak that a little well placed space debris could take
even that out!)   And we've fared no better with the earth!
Things are getting worse, not better.  You mentioned it yourself.
You say people are feeling like ants... uncertain in the times
we're in... feeling powerless. This is the road that we have
taken ourselves down. Take a look at the world; it's a perfect
picture of what happens when men refuse God.  I don't want to
sound gloomy, but it's the truth.  A truth I might add, that we
don't like to admit.  We would rather lie to ourselves than
agree with God that we've made a mess of things.  Our pride
tells us we can solve this mess too.  And rather than come
to God and admit our need of Him, we tell ourselves that
WE are gods!  What a joke!

He sent Jesus in the flesh.  God came in the flesh!  But we
killed Him. Let's not let God get in the way of our plans! 
Jesus said he was the way, the truth and the life, and we
basically said, "Yeah RIGHT!  I like MY way, MY truth, and
MY life!"  And we killed Him.  Do we have a better way,
or a better truth,  maybe a better life than what He offered?

Well, He's still offering it.  And most people are still rejecting
it.  The scriptures tell me that God has plans to put an end
to this world, that He's going to make new heavens and a
new earth.  But few believe that either.  We're too busy thinking
this is going to last forever. This world that we think just
appeared out of nothing,  will last forever.  And most of us
act like WE'LL last forever too!  When will you believe God?
He's wrapping this whole thing up.  You're wanting to save
the world; He's wanting to save YOU! 

I have a love message also: God is totally in love with you.
He is the answer for your life right now, and for the eternity
to come. He doesn't want you separated from Him. He also
warns, "See to it that no one takes you captive through hallow
and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition
and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ."
That's also found in Colossians.  I'd urge you to pick up a
bible and look it up for yourself.  There was a time when I also
had ideas that we held the answers to life, but that day ended
when I found Christ.  I am better for knowing Him, because
He put an end to my vain ideas of human pride and brought
me to the truth.

I wish that I didn't have to speak as strongly as I have.  I have
been as plain about it as possible because there is a better
road for you than the road of self.  I hope that you will consider
the things I have shared,  and especially as it relates to
Jesus Christ.
