Surfing the Scriptures

Are you a toe-dipper or a surfer?
Scriptures are out of fashion and favour at the moment, but Scripture-Surfers know they will be back. Scripture-Surfers have seen a pattern that is repeated from Genesis- (the opening chapter), through to Revelation- (the last): The world cries out from chaos; God reminds the world of His contract, (usually through a prophet or preacher). The people agree for a while; then they tear out bits of the contract they do not like. The world declines back into chaos.

Scripture-Surfers have also seen that God’s patience eventually gives way to His justice. From that point on, when the people cry out, the answer comes back:

‘Enough! They have Moses and the prophets, let them listen to them.… Even if one should return from the dead, they will not repent’.
Luke 16 29-31

Yet even now, if they repent … who knows, He might relent.
Joel 2: 12 -14
