Truth As Told By One Larry Norman

Taking a look at Jeremiah Chapter 2---
It reads...."What injustice have your fathers found in Me that they have gone far from Me?"
That would be God making that statement.
What excuses were made to walk away from God....
We can blame the church....Yeah..all them snotty, stuck up, hypocritical (Not to mention a bagrillion other names we can add to the list) church people...
Remember, when you say "church people"...you have to kind of sneer and talk down to who ever it is your talking to...
"Those CHURRRRRR-Ch People!"
"Them Christians.....arrrgh!"

The one thing I find most interesting, is that I don't really remember that many folks actually blaming God. They blame everything around them....and of course, in our dark minds, we tie them all to God....It's His fault.After all, He is in charge, isn't He? Least ways, that what we've been told.

But if you read on in Jeremiah Chapter 2, it says....
"They (your fathers) have followed idols (Or emptiness) and have become idolaters (Or empty themselves).  Do you not know that we turn into whatever it is we chase with our hearts....
Our heart (as deceitful as it is according to Jeremiah) draw our thoughts and when pondered long enough, our thoughts turn into actions. Hence the walking away from God....
That is so not a good place to be in.

"WHY DON'T YOU CHECK INTO JESUS" is an old Jesus people standard written by Larry Norman. 
Seems as though people ( the establishment and those "church" folks) were always upset by the music. Larry actually used the words "whiskey", "Cigarette" and "VD" in the song. Heaven forbid we tell the truth. The message pretty much was out there..Kind of in your face.

You've got to remember who Larry was singing to.
Addicts, junkies, drunks...and everyone who didn't know his Jesus.
Larry made no claims to what the future might hold, but he knew that with Christ, it had to be better than anything else.
And it was....

"You've tried everything else and it isn't working."
Why not check into Jesus....
Why?
Because He's got the answers to the questions you've been asking.
Simple, huh?

Enjoy the video...
God on you...
just an old hippie on the way to heaven...
