Drunken Mystic

A wise man knows what must be built AND what must be torn down.

Is it because there’s no “God in Israel” that we seek wisdom from the world?

Peace.

It is near impossible for God to teach us how to rule in the New Kingdom while we’re so busy trying to rule the old one.

Peace.

Do you believe God can do anything?
Do you believe God can do anything through you?
True faith is realizing and expressing those two extra words don’t mean anything.

Peace.

If God is dead, I wonder who killed Him.

God isn’t dead; He’s just waiting for those who will listen.

Peace.

God is more concerned with a true heart of repentance than the actual sin. A true heart of repentance prepares you for a life of righteousness — just being apologetic excuses the next sin.

You cannot heal Babylon. You must leave it.

We must redefine relevance. The latest degree, designer, movie, TV show, style of music, album, tech gadget, speaker, teacher, book, or philosophical movement are all irrelevant. The Church must know God and love. That alone is relevant.

Peace.

Tragedy possesses its own beauty. And what we consider beautiful is often tragic.

Why do we spend so much time on having right doctrine and so little time being righteous?

Josiah read the book of law, recognized the sin of the nation, tore his clothes, humbled himself, and saved his nation from the wrath of God during his lifetime. We read the same book, twist the words so they’re not really sins anymore and then laugh at God’s wrath.

Peace.

We should remove the words “my” and “mine” from our vocabulary.

Going through the eye of a needle, while possible with God, is still pretty painful.

Let the moon be disgraced and the sun ashamed; the Lord of Hosts reigns in Jerusalem and before His elders, gloriously.

Peace.

To convince the poor that a glorified middle class standard of living is their right is just another way to oppress them.

A broken Church is better than a perfect state.

We do not give to the poor to become their provider; we give to the poor to teach them that, through giving and love rather than obligation and law, God is their provider.

Why do we serve the very gods Christ has made a mockery of?

Peace.

We show people our gifts but God cares more about character. Anybody can receive a gift. Not everyone can buffet their bodies enough to be a person of purity, integrity, authority, and love.

The more we seek a seat at the table of earthly government, the more we ignore our responsibility in the Kingdom of God.

Peace.

Only those who don’t know God question the effectiveness of prayer.

Modern social thought questions the right of a nation to make war but asserts and defends the right to kill the unborn.

We want to follow God but we don’t want to change. No wonder the world sees us as hypocrites.

Peace.
