God is God

Perhaps it is a good thing the ACLU and other groups are trying to remove God from our society. Don't get me wrong, I don't like what they are doing. What I wonder, do people who oppose the ACLU understand who God is?

My title "God is God" is profound, not cliché. Any definition of a god will reference some type of mystical power and an ability to control human behavior.  The God I know created the universe around us. He created everything we can see or touch. He created us; but, not as puppets. God gave us free will and the ability to reason.

We applied our reasoning ability to time and developed the concepts of hours in day and the days in a year. We have developed other time concepts: decades, centuries, and the average life span of a man. But we do not have a grasp of eternity.

Eternity does not include this universe which we can see and touch. God's plan is to destroy it and establish a new earth, a new universe. A display on a wall today is dust in eternity. The only transition to the new universe are those individuals who know God and have accepted his plan for redemption.

To fight to keep a display of the Ten Commandments or to acknowledge God in the pledge of allegiance as part of our heritage is a noble and just cause. To fight because you honor and respect God is good and demonstrates your values and character. However, if the fight is for God, you do not understand God.

The God who created the earth can etch the Ten Commandments on the wall in a manner that cannot be erased. When we fight for God we are denying His ability.

Our fight should be a witness about His ability to redeem man.
