The “Draining of the Brain” Train :: By Dave Hubley

I have included a Special message at the end of this article. I hope you will read it and take it to heart.

I am unapologetically leading to a Christian witness with this article.

Just making that clear up front.

So many people today exhibit a sad and terrifying characteristic.

They don’t want to think. They just jump on board the “Brain-Drain Train.”

The tickets are free initially, but you must pay at the other end – and you can’t get off.

God, in His Word, pleads with people to awaken to Him spiritually, but He also pleads for people to use their ability to think rationally.

He provides everyone with this basic human ability.

“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD” (Isaiah 1:18a).

And it works – unless, it is intentionally suppressed by the will of the individual.

It also requires that the individual will accept Truth.

“The fool says in his heart, there is no God” (Psalm 14:1, 53:1).

Let’s take a look at an example of that Truth.

Does God’s Word specifically support capitalism? No. Does it indirectly? Yes.

Also, it requires responsible behavior on the part of all, aka everyone.

“If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat” (2 Thessalonians 3:10b). Emphasis added.

At the risk of oversimplification, the above verse is self-explanatory without contradicting the basic Christian mandate to help those who are unable to contribute, based on legitimate, verifiable reasons.

If you are directly or indirectly in support of Socialism/Communism, you may not realize this about the founders of this nation in the 1600s:

Right out of the gate, Socialism/Communism was implemented, and it failed.

It continues to crash and burn today everywhere it is employed, with one exception:

It makes slaves of all of its adherents. And it is quantifiable in mass burial sites.

In that, it is always successful.

Now to the crux of this article.

World history will confirm that socialism and communism are always the product of Godless societies and systems.

God’s Word tells us that the world will continue to degenerate into a humanly unrecoverable state of disaster, spiritually, economically, and in every other sphere of human endeavor.

It also tells us that individuals can be saved from that fate – and how that is possible.

It also warns us that the human heart can become so hardened by continually rejecting Jesus that a person, even when confronted by the consequences of that rejection, can reach a point where he/she is unable to repent and be rescued (Revelation 9:20-21).

God’s Word has never been proven wrong in the fulfillment of His Truths.

Fulfilled prophecies are ironclad proof of this ironclad fact.

Jesus Christ, the One and the Only Source of Salvation from the inevitable failure of man that will result in God’s execution of every chapter that declares His final judgments in the Books of Revelation, Zechariah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Amos, and elsewhere, is waiting at the door of your heart and soul, but you must decide to open it!

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me” (Revelation 3:20).

Occasionally the train that leads to death is paused briefly; if you have been riding on it, perhaps you can then abandon it, be liberated from the lies of this world, and live.

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction” (Proverbs 1:7).

If you choose to, you must do so in your living years.

The special message I promised you:

For anyone who may read this article and has not trusted in Jesus Christ and therefore has no real hope or peace in your life.

You can have hope. You can have the peace that Jesus has promised to all who have made Him their Lord and Savior. The peace that passes understanding.

It requires that you come before God on His terms and that you do so in your living years.

And what are His terms according to His Word?

  • Genuine repentance (turning to God instead of continuing to reject or ignore Him).
  • Confession of sins (that you are a sinner and acknowledge that to God).
  • That you understand that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).
  • To acknowledge to God that you are unable to pay that debt.
  • Belief that Jesus Christ paid your death sentence for you on the cross and rose from the grave three days later, conquering death, just as He promised.
  • To believe that Jesus is the Way, the only Way, that God has established by which humans may be saved from the consequences of their sin and rebellion.

This is what leads one to the Spiritual Rebirth that Jesus requires (John 3.3).

God has made it absolutely clear that there is no one who comes before Him, under His terms, that will be refused.

  • No one: no race, no color, no country of origin, regardless of any previous belief system: no one.
  • No matter what your past sins have been, God can and WILL forgive you because He says He will.
  • Salvation is available to everyone without any exceptions.

If you put all your trust for salvation in Jesus, and Him only, you can follow that prayer up by simply saying, “Thank you, Father God, for hearing my prayer and saving me,” because we can trust Him to keep His Word. He always has. He always will.

“Truly, Truly, I say to you that he who hears My words and believes the One who sent Me has eternal life and will not be condemned. He has crossed from death to life” (John 5:24).

There are no answers and there is no hope in the world by governments, organizations, politics or politicians. They are incapable of it. There are only lies and deception. But you can have the Truth and the peace you seek.

The answers are in the Word of God—The Bible. If you ask God with all your heart, He will hear you.

“And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13).
