ARTICLES BY RAS CHARLES

 

Yard Word from Ras Charles pulished in "One World Beat" July, 2005

The true worship of God is a continuous action. Everything we do and create has to reflect the righteousness of God, so what caused the chosen of God to fall into a state of moral and mental decomposition? How did it happen in such condition?

How do we see ourselves, what is our vision, what are our aspirations, who is leading us, what kind of learing influences our thoughts, what are we doing to cause oneself to relate to us? How do we see others, as equals or as prey? What is preventing people from seeking the truth? Are their religious affilations structured to prevent the influence of truth in their lives?

The lives of people (not all) are full of evil today, but they fail to recognize it, because their concept of evil has changed. Through deception, they visualize evil as being accepted as it is every event how the Devil has deceived the whole world into worshiping him and not God. The Devil has been successful in his craftiness by causing man/ woman to disassociate himself/ herself from the worship of God.

Only when we truly overstand how cultural expression determines whorship, will we totally comprehend how to build and live in this world where all of the people love and worship God. Since the greatest obstacle preventing our reconciliation with God will be the Devil, it stands to reason that we must recognize the character and culture that reveal His presence and influence.

Let us note that a world under the Devil's influence characterized by widespread degeneration, reducing the people far below ordinary standards of civilized life and conduct. "It has been the inaction of those who could have acted, the indifference of those who should have known better, the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most, that has made it possible for evil to triumph."

What you are is God's gift to you, what you become is your gift to God.

Lone on One by His way.
