I just finished reading a book that a friend had given to me. So I have had a chance to get back to reading some of the books that I got for my birthday. If you have ever talked to me about reading you would know that my favorite author is Ted DeKker. He is a Christian fiction writer who lives in Austin, Texas. I have been reading his serious called the Lost Books which tie into his circle trilogy books, Black, Red and White.
In these stories there is two types of people who are fighting over "The Other World". These two groups are the horde and the forest guard. Both believe that the other one is diseased. The Forest Guard are followers of Elyon the creator of other world. The Horde are ones who have chosen not to follow Elyon but instead Teelah the creature of darkness. Sound like something you know. The point I want to make is that the difference between the two is obvious. If you do not bath in the lake of Elyon then your skin begins to rot and crack open. What if your sins were displayed on your skin? Should you not be able to tell the difference between believers and non believers just as easily as between Horde and Forest Guard? Should we not stand out from the world? Yet we have a tendency to blend into the world. To cover ourselves with morst (the cream the Horde uses to sooth their pain) so that we can blend in because if we stand out we might be persecuted or made fun of. So if someone was to look at your life today could they tell if you were Horde or Forest Guard? Or are you a Forest Guard covered with morst?
Hope that you are having a wonderful week!!!
