Freedom À la Violence

“Wherefore, if you see another sin openly or commit a serious crime, do not consider yourself better, for you do not know how long you can remain in good estate. All men are frail, but you must admit that none is more frail than yourself.” Thomas à Kempis 

                          BE SOBER!

There is no one more vile than I. For no one is more adept at destroying the work of God than my selfish nature which lives within me.  


No matter what knowledge I have concerning righteousness, my roommate called selfishness knows nothing, desires nothing, and can produce nothing on his own. At the base of things, he only knows how to play with mud.  


What counsel is there in these things? I see this: be careful not to judge the sinners all around us. For with one touch of the love of God, anyone of them can out strip us with the doings of the Holy Spirit.   Despise the action, but be ready to embrace the actor.  


The one to whom much is forgiven, the same will love much. The one who is released from the deepest and darkest of dungeons will love the open spaces more. He understands captivity, and now embraces freedom with a violence.  


But the one who does not perceive his own wickedness, this one sees no need to praise. Righteous humility eludes him.  


God has raised mighty men from the sewer in the past. Rest assured, he is doing so today.

Christian Superstitions

Countless people were crucified in the days of the Romans. The people of that day understood the meaning of a cross.  

The cross without the living Christ is no different than a shadow.  


The symbol itself has no power at all except to generate fear, superstition, and death.  


It is the living Christ who provides life. Yes, the intangible and invisible glory of God. Do not think that evil has respect for any object on earth.  


P. S. The same can be said of Mary, the apostles, and the Saints.  


What is the shape of your God?

Utter Folly

There is no such thing as an atheist. There are only people who are too terrified of truth to open their eyes in the daylight.  

Throw such folks into the deepest darkest night and they claim to see perfectly fine.  But they gave their blindness a title.   As if by a simple word they are something.  

All their claims of arrogance against God are made with the miracle of life that God himself created.  Still they choose to say we are no more than rocks.  They do not live a life of royalty, no matter what they say.  They live a life of cowardice.
