The Doors: "Riders on the Storm"

I've heard that this is the last track Jim Morrison sang on before his death in Paris. It certainly was a good finale to his career. Too bad he passed away as he was a genius poet and songwriter.

Listen to this song here:

I once heard an announcer question what the line, "His brain is squirmin' like a toad," meant. It's obvious from the song that psychopaths have agitated minds.

Wicked people tend to act out on their plans. As Proverbs 12:5 (Bible in Basic English) tells us, "The purposes of upright men are right, but the designs of evil-doers are deceit".

And as we're reminded in Micah 2:1 (BBE) evil people plan out their wicked actions. "A curse on the designers of evil, working on their beds! in the morning light they do it, because it is in their power."

Some people are mentally ill while others are abused by Satan for his perverse ends. But God made good come of one man's possession by evil spirits in Mark 5:15 (BBE). "And they came to Jesus, and saw the man in whom had been the evil spirits seated, clothed and with full use of his senses, and they were full of fear." By the way, this man became the Lord's first evangelist.

Others, such as false teachers, seem sane but are insanely against the truth. As Jesus said to the Pharisees in John 8:44 (BBE), "You are the children of your father the Evil One and it is your pleasure to do his desires. From the first he was a taker of life; and he did not go in the true way because there is no true thing in him. When he says what is false, it is natural to him, for he is false and the father of what is false."

What is obvious from Scripture is that the Lord isn't the one who drives people mad. Some folks have chemical imbalances but Satan uses those to destroy his victims.

If our beloved Master hasn't returned by Monday, I hope to post about how change is unavoidable.
