Background Checks

July 1, 2010

I read that more than 80% of employers do background checks on potential employees before a contract is drawn up. Most business head hunters would tout the need for an online portfolio of some kind these days to allow employers the opportunity to get a feel for you before you ever come face to face at the interview table. What are they discovering about you in their search? What things would mortify you to find on the internet for the whole world to find?

The Lord said that in the last days men would become lovers of themselves, given over to all kinds of evil. Not only would they turn away from the Lord’s nature, but they would revel in others doing it, too. They would rejoice and party over the failures of others. They would kick them when they were down and encourage others to do it also.

Whether righteous or evil every person is created in the image of God and with two things in heir heart: The knowledge of God and eternity. The Bride of Christ has a responsibility to her Groom to do whatever possible to get along and live at peace with every person. Every person. That’s not to say that we will get along with every person, but the Bride should exhaust every possible resource before giving up. She should be guiltless when she sees the Groom face to face.

We can’t hide anything no matter how hard we try. It’s a waste of our energy and prolongs our healing. Jesus is fully aware of all of our debauchery, debased thoughts and selfish tendencies. Rest assured that He also knows exactly what thicket to look under when we finally cry out for Him to save us.
