Trouble?

The Christian can get in trouble for saying certain things.  Frankly the Christian is in trouble all the time.

But what does that matter to me?  If they find me sitting in a pile of poop, they’re not likely to pick me up and put me in a pile of poop.  I’ve been in trouble since the day I was born.

I take a certain comfort in that.

A Liberal Disciple of Christ

Do you consider yourself a liberal, either politically or socially?  Do you realize that the definition of liberal means someone who takes the truth in a functional sense;  how does this apply to the incapable nature of man?

Personally, other than this, I don’t have much to say.  But what “much” I do have to say is coming from God.  He strongly suggests (That’s as liberal as I care to get) that we look into the deep truth of the Gospel of Christ.

Liberalism has to do with compromise.  I find the Gospel of Christ absolutely void of compromise.  If you look at it with open eyes you will see the same.  There is no such thing as a liberal disciple of Christ.

The Mechanics of “Gain”

If we want to accomplish anything, then we go after those things of accomplishment.  If we want to fail we chase after those things that cause failure.  Most people want to gain.  But there are many who have a death wish.   (I did)

I take note this morning that the problem with Society is that they think they can drink from a mixed cup and still get what they want.

They want to live righteously, but they fill their lives with unrighteous things.  They want to be considered respectable.  But they live their lives with a measure of disrespect.

To whatever measure we introduce unholy things to our mind, we will lack holiness.  To whatever measure we dabble in unrighteousness, we will be unrighteous.  To whatever measure we refuse to believe and follow the Gospel of Christ,  to that measure we will fail to be his disciples.

What do we allowed to burn away our days?  On that day we see Christ Jesus, we all want his smile and open arms.  What are we doing to make sure that happens?
