Epidemic of idiots

Epidemic of idiots

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. -Romans 12:2

I haven’t updated this blog in years, there have been many reasons for that, who reads blogs anymore anyway? None the less, I certainly feel like this would be a perfect time for an update. Cause I mean, everyone wants to talk about the Corona/Chinese virus right? You got political tools that want to make it “political”, Christian tools who want to make it about “end of the world” and of course the conspiracy tools with their “theories”. You know what is few and far between? Common sense, not only that but common sense with a biblical perspective. I don’t need to rehash what is going on in the news I.E Nba shutting down, venues, churches shutting their doors, heck just go to your local grocery store and you’ll find toilet paper gone, bottles of water gone, and anyone and everyone has an opinion.. most based on fear.

Now before I give my “opinion”(I will use that term loosely) I feel like I need to give some perspective on myself. First of all, I am going to try to make this blog short, one because it is really just me venting, two because I am exhausted. My hemoglobin is 4.8(normal is 13) in short I am severally anemic, along with my Kidney problems…makes for days filled with laying around, unfortunately watching this chaos and panic on tv. I give these details about myself, for the simple reason that you can understand that I have pre-existing health issues, so technically I am at risk for this “virus”…

However, my reaction to what is going on in the world right now isn’t FEAR of a virus, its disgust with humanity. Which, from a Christian perspective I should be disgusted with human nature and the world, so I am really on the right track. I am not saying the virus is fake or isn’t real…what I am going to say is a Christians response should not be like the worlds, hence the reason I quoted Romans 12:2 at the beginning. I don’t have a death wish, nor do I want to get sick, and I certainly am not one of those “Christians” who believe because I have faith that I won't get sick, you know the word of faith Christians, the ones with healing rooms and believe they can heal by the power of their “faith” ironically those people are closing their “healing rooms” because of the virus, pretty hypocritical isn’t?

None the less, running to the store and buying all the toilet paper and water you can and hiding in your house in fear of a virus is not the Christian response either. Again, I say that and I am one actually at risk for getting the virus, statistically the virus kills people over 50 and people with health issues. I don’t believe, more importantly it’s not biblical, to go horde all the toilet paper and water you can, or worse go and horde all the toilet paper and water you can and try to upcharge people for it. That is what the world is doing, most people are panicking over something that will only affect them for a couple weeks tops…like the common flu, if they got it and just stayed at home they would get over it like any other flu. Yet, because of media hype and fear those people are stockpiling toilet paper, water, hand sanitizer and flocking to the hospitals trying to get tested when they have minor symptoms. This is exactly why this “pandemic” is causing people to die, it's not the virus itself, it’s the fact that we have a “pandemic of idiots” that are panicking and making it harder for the people that actually need help to get help!

We should be worried about those with health issues and the elderly with this virus, but instead, people are proving what the bible says, which is that human nature is bad! The world will tell you that we(meaning human nature) are basically good, well look around people…do you see people acting “basically good”? NO…people are acting selfish, immature, and idiotic. Now some of you may say…”BUT BUT! We are in a crisis! We are in an epidemic! Of course, people act a little crazy” Well…guess what? Your true self is shown in a crisis, your true self is shown when everything is going wrong, not when everything is going right. How is it the right biblical response to horde grocery items that elderly people need? Or that other people need but now can’t get because you only care about yourself? How is it a right biblical response to horde grocery items only to upcharge and make a profit on such items because nobody can get them now? How is it a right biblical response out of complete fear and panic to bum rush the hospitals trying to get tested for a virus when you have very minor symptoms? I don’t care what anyone says…SELFISHNESS is never the biblical approach one should have, neither is FEAR unless of course, it’s the FEAR of GOD.

My prayers go out to the elderly and people with pre-existing health conditions, they need to be cared for and protected, and yet because of fear and panic they are getting the short straw, they are the ones who are in the end going to suffer because of your SELFISHNESS.

The World Is a Thorn- Part 1

-->

The World Is a Thorn- Part 1

The Bible often mentions the word “World” and it can be referring to different things. It can simply mean “World” as in; Land, country, earth or nations. Or it can mean worldliness/spirit of the age. Obviously when Jesus says;

If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

“Therefore the world hates you” here Christ is using the term “World” to mean spirit of the age. We know as Christians we are called to not be of “The World”, meaning we don’t get our identity, we don’t get our morals and understanding of what is true from what is culturally acceptable or culturally  not acceptable. We are shaped and defined by God and His word, which never changes. Because we submit ourselves to the authority of scripture over human logic and emotional whims we are going to be at odds with the culture I.E the world. The bible constantly affirms that we will be at odds with the majority, and most of us understand this, though it is hard to accept, because we don’t want to feel like an outcast, we want to be socially accepted and apart of the world/culture. So as a believer it becomes easy to adopt worldly standards and let the culture shape our world view, rather than letting scripture shape our world view, because if we let the bible shape our world view than the current culture will hate you just as Jesus said.

It is easy when the Spirit of the age or current culture happens to embrace biblical standards to live out our faith and proclaim Christ, but what happens when it doesn’t? The culture changes like the seasons, and what is right or wrong is based on human standards, not moral accountability to God. This can become frustrating, disheartening, overwhelming, even though we are warned that we are not of this world, even when we have scripture that confirms this is what it is going to be like. It is so easy to disengage from the world, to shut off, become bitter letting our differences cause us to become hateful. It causes us to build up our walls to become isolationists, and instead of showing what makes us different by our love we show what makes us different by our separation and judgment.

Do not get the wrong idea, we are suppose to stand firm on Gods word, and defend it at all cost, and we are suppose to be very different from the world, we are not to adopt their standards to be more acceptable by any means. However, if we let the bitterness of the way the world is divide to the point we stop living our Christian duty to serve, to the point where we isolate ourselves to only be with people that agree with us, Oh… than we have in the end let the world shape us, we have let the world deflate us, we have let it corrupt us, we have let the world rob us of hope of our Christian duty to be a witness. How are we a witness of light if we let the darkness over take us? Do not be fooled, Satan will get you off course by any means he can, and if he cant make you love the world and adopt its standards than he will make you become so bitter and full of anger that you start to loose your heart for the lost. This is exactly how you find out if you have become bitter… do you have a care and concern for the people who are of the world? Those who are so lost and deceived and far from God? Or do you look at them with anger, pride, and hate

Just begging for the wrath of God to come, that Jesus would return quickly because you can’t stand the decay and state of the world.

I know, that sounds ridiculous, who would think like that? But if we are honest with each other…haven’t a lot of us become like that? Its hard not to, when what we stand for has been so trampled over, when we feel so alone with our ideals and we see such moral decay. We can’t loose heart, no matter what, we can’t loose our identity as Christians, we can’t loose our heart to serve and our purpose of being a witness to the world, because if we become hateful and full of bitterness than we are no different than the world itself.

Why do you think Jesus said;

If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

Do you think He said that so He can prepare us to hate back? Or do you think He said it so we are prepared for the response the world would have towards us? Obviously it is the latter and the reason for this is so that we do not become bitter, so that we do not loose hope In the response of the world to the gospel, for it is the natural response, and if it wasn’t for the grace of God we would still be responding as the world does. Jesus, before He makes the statement that the world will hate you, tells the disciples to love one another, that there is no greater love than to lay ones life down for his friends. We are called to live a life of sacrifice, a life of servitude, not just to those who agree, but to those who we don’t. I think of the martyrs who lived their faith in the opposition of it, the world hated them but they didn’t try to be accepted by the world, nor did they become bitter to the world and stop preaching the gospel because they were faced with opposition…they lived their faith to death.

This world is disheartening, to see how the culture is shaping our Christian faith, to see how some are letting it shape their faith…drives us to righteous anger, and in some aspects it should. To see what American Christianity has become is disgusting, and we need to speak against it, we need to stand against it and not be defined by it. The state of this world should break our hearts, to see what is accepted should cause us to be ashamed. What we can’t let it do is drive us to bitterness, The world is definitely a thorn and we can’t be shaped by it….but don’t let it cause you to loose hope, do not let it cause you to not pray, do not let it cause you to not weep for the lost and do not let it stop you from serving at all costs.

It is so easy to lose hope, to become bitter, when what is in our face is opposition, when we see the state of this country and those who are running politically, when we see movements of racism (BLM), or movements of ridiculousness (Transgender rights) when we see heresy from those claiming to be Christians. We cannot lose hope, lose faith, do not let the world build in you a fearful bitter heart or you will ironically become what you’re suppose to be set apart from.

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. 1 John 2:15

Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20

Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher,

which is why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that Day what has been entrusted to me. 2 Timothy 1:8-12

UnGodly Generation..WAKE UP!

Let not mercy and truth forsake you;

Bind them around your neck,

Write them on the tablet of your heart,

and so find favor and high esteem

in the sight of God and man.

Proverbs 3:3

To be HONEST I could give a flying squirrel what "man" thinks of me,

however the point of the scripture is show "mercy and truth"…

after all I don't care who you are everyone loves "mercy"

and while it seems a lot of people don't like the TRUTH of the word of GOD,

nobody likes to be knowingly lied to. bear with me here,

I'm going to make a point at some point and time..haha get it? ok sorry…I digress

Do not be wise in your own eyes; FEAR the LORD and depart

from evil. It will be health to your flesh,

and strength to your bones.

Proverbs 3:7

My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD,

Nor detest His correction; For whom the LORD

loves He corrects, just as a father the son in

whom he delights.

Proverbs 3:11-12

"The world cannot hate you,

but it hates Me because I testify

of it that its works are evil"

John 7:7

Jesus said this to His disciples, and told them to go to

Judea for the jewish feast of tabernacles for He Himself

would not go, for it wasn't His time.

Now before I continue I want to clarify

something, Jesus Christ told His disciples "The world cannot hate you"

because at that point in time the disciples were just that.. disciples of Christ,

they followed and were learning from Christ. However Christ knew when

He returned to be with the Father God Almighty, that he wold send the

Holy Spirit to be with us and guide us that when we speak of the TRUTH

of the gospel that the world would indeed hate us that is why

he warned the disciples later..

If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.

If you were of the world, the world would love its own.

Yet because you are not of the world, but i chose you out of the world,

therefore the world hates you.

John 15:18-19

Not to mention when Christ told the disciples at the time

"The world cannot hate you", Don't you know that Christ knew the disciples heart,

Christ knew that the jews wouldn't harm the disciples at this particular feast,

because He knew the disciples themselves wouldn't proclaim the TRUTH

so hence at that point and time "the world wouldn't hate them".

Just wanted to clarify so whoever reads this wont be confused..

so now I continue ..

So the disciples went by themselves,and in secret Jesus actually went to.

Now the jews were looking for Jesus,and they were arguing amongst themselves

about Jesus, and not one of the disciples spoke openly of Jesus

because they feared the jews.

Jesus however in the middle of the feast got up and went to the temple

to teach…and said..

"My doctrine is not mine but His who sent Me.

if anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning

the doctrine, wether it is from God or wether I speak on My

own authority.

He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He

who seek the glory of the One who sent Him is true,

and no unrighteousness in Him.

John 7:16-18

You may be asking yourself now, "ok…and what is the point of all this?"…

Well to those of you who read my blog regularly you already know

that,..well…I've been slacking with the updates. Also if you don't already

know this then let me absolutely clarify this again...

I do not seek to be glorified with the website or this blog, I pray that

what is written is straight from GOD through the Holy Spirit and it is leading

me to post what Is posted. I'm sure that sounds insane to a lot of people,

and frankly I could careless because I am not seeking mans opinion

or approval I am seeking GODS.

Back in September I posted a blog called "Lukewarm Christians"

and needless to say ever since then, I've been running into more and more of this

very thing, and it is disheartening to say the least. This generation,

mine and the generation we are in, has become so fickle…so

unbiblical and unGodly that it is mind blowing. Don't get it twisted mind you,

there are some great young Godly men/women out there but generally

speaking mainstream Christianity is a total joke, and i'm not blind…I realize

this has been happening for a long time, and through the generations it

just gets worse and worse, and we are living in a time where the gospel

has become nothing but perverted and GOD has been turned into

some kind of universal unholy humanistic image.

I look at people like Leonard Ravenhill who has been with the Father since 1994,

who was crying out about how broken "the church" is…how unChrist like

the followers of Christ are and how unbiblical people have become, and almost

20 years later…look at us now…it's almost as if Ravenhill was before his time.

Or how about Jonathan Edwards? yeah I said it…Jonathan Edwards who people

only know as "Hellfire and brimstone preacher" but the fact is he was much

more then that, Edwards was one of the greatest theologians in American

History, but people don't like him because he talked about a nasty place called

Hell and well Hell doesn't exist in "popular/mainstream Christianity" today,

fact is the TRUTH doesn't exist in Christianity today at all.

You know how blessed we are? I mean seriously…you know how much

information is literally at our figure tips? This generation has computers/

cell phones,TV,Music,books,Internet ect ect… and everything is right in front

of us, we can research anything we want…knowledge in seconds!

We can read about GOD, we can read about great men of GOD or watch videos

or listen through ipods or Ipads or Iphones or Laptops, have thousands

of books at our finger tips with Kindle. Yet we are a generation that knows NOTHING,

while we are a generation that is blessed with so much technology

and knowledge, man perverts that. We don't use the technology to glorify

God or get to know Him more, we use it to look at porn or make money

or spend on frivolous things that wont last or talk about how awesome we are

or whatever. (by the way I'm not claiming perfectness I've struggled in these areas to,

I speak to myself just as much as you)

This generation needs to wake up! and those of us who call

ourselves "Christians" "Christ-like" better start freaking living like it!

I can't tell you how many people i've run into (in life or on Facebook)

who sit there and say "I'm a Christian" and then say and do

something totally contrary to it. Or people who claim they're "not Christian"

and then go on to tell people who are living "Christ like",

that they are not living "Christ-like" which obviously makes no sense whatsoever.

This generation above all other generations has not only a "I don't give a crap" attitude

but also an attitude of "All roads lead to GOD, and Jesus forgave us of sin

so we can continue living in it"…

The fact is…sin is justified and TRUTH is perverted, that sums everything up right

there. remember…

Let not mercy and TRUTH forsake you;

Bind them around your neck,

Write them on the tablet of your heart,

and so find favor and high esteem

in the sight of GOD and man.

Proverbs 3:3

"Mercy and truth" you see everyone wants mercy from GOD, deep down

nobody on earth has a problem with Christ dying for sins and GOD loving

them. What people have a problem with is Christ changing them, changing

the heart and everything they are, the holy spirit convicting them of sin

and them repenting and turning away from it. They want Christ's forgiveness

and love but they don't want the change and holiness that comes with it,

and it doesn't work like that. They want to still be of the world and

have GOD to, again doesn't work like that.

Do not be wise in your own eyes; FEAR the LORD and depart

from evil. It will be health to your flesh,

and strength to your bones.

Proverbs 3:7

FEAR the LORD? why? thats what this generation asks…why? it's

"I don't have to FEAR the LORD because he died for me and loves me and

he just loves me and I can do whatever I want" and depart from evil?

thats just crazy talk..Christ died so I can continue on being evil

because that makes sense doesn't it?

My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD,

Nor detest His correction; For whom the LORD

loves He corrects, just as a father the son in

whom he delights.

Proverbs 3:11-12

Better believe nobody wants to hear this scripture either…

"Chastening of the LORD?" "Correction?"…no way…GOD is just love..

GOD doesn't care what I do as long as I just believe he exists.

Notice how the verse compares this correction like to the correction

of a Father to his son, spare the rod spoil the child ring any bells?

probably not to a lot of parents anymore because it's not the parents

running the household it's the Children. Kind of like how "The Children of GOD"

like to try and run the show themselves and make GOD into some wimpy

sissified universal humanistic GOD, but trust me when I say this…GOD

will not be MOCKED nor is He going to let the children run

His house hold if you catch my drift.

"The world cannot hate you,

but it hates Me because I testify

of it that its works are evil"

John 7:7

Notice here when you testify the TRUTH of the gospel of the Almighty GOD,

and how this world and it's works are evil YOU WILL BE HATED! When you

are actually living "Christ-like" and following in His steps and Preaching the

TRUTH FROM HIS WORD…YOU WILL BE HATED! are you persecuted?

are you hated? If you are living a life of not standing up for GOD and His TRUTH

that is in the WORD, if you substitute or try to sissify GOD…you wont be persecuted

the world will love you, so the question is…

Are you living for the love of the world? or are you living for GOD?

you can't live for the world and live for GOD, it's one or the other.

and for the record in no way shape or form am I trying to support a "Works based

system" by the grace of GOD we are saved, not by works. I urge you to take

the time to watch the following video, I also urge you to really use the

technology that is at your finger tips, ask GOD to reveal things through the Holy

Spirit and seek to know GOD more and more. We are blessed to have

such technology at our disposal we should use it to glorify GOD.

Lord SAVE us from your Followers..

What is Love?

Far to many have there own opinion on what Love is,

more specifically what God says Love is..

What am I talking about?

I watched "Lord Save us from your Followers"

it's a documentary about Christians and why

we are hated and how judgmental we come off

to non-believers

I've watched it twice, and after watching it

the first time I was thinking, well I can understand

what he is saying, and as Christians we should be

about love. At the same time though

it confused me, it seemed to embrace the non-

believers...

Don't get me wrong, I understand Jesus hung around

the downcast...the sinners...the non believers,

prostitutes,the sick, the thief, the lovers of "the world"

there's no denying that whatsoever.

The movie however seems to come across as if

we are just suppose to "Shut up" as Christians

about what the bible says and just embrace

the sinner(and yes I know we all are sinners)

We are suppose to just Love? show kindness,

don't say anything about what the bible says,

and just embrace gays?

Again, I'm all for showing love and not hate,

but isn't love about being honest and truthful?

we don't have to be hateful...we don't have to spew hate

out of our mouth, I'm not saying that at all...

but we should be honest and truthful.

I'm not sorry at all to state that Jesus is the way the truth

and the life and NOBODY gets to the father except through HIM!

I'm not ASHAMED of the Gospel of Christ,

and I don't care if the world hates me for it,

by the way thats another thing...

The world is going to hate us(The followers of Christ)

Jesus said it himself!

"If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before [it hated] you.

If you were of the world, the world would love its own.

Yet because you are not of the world,

but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

Remember the word that I said to you,

'A servant is not greater than his master.'

If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you.

If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

But all these things they will do to you for My name's sake,

because they do not know Him who sent Me.

If I had not come and spoken to them,

they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.

He who hates Me hates My Father also.

John 15:18-23

It doesn't matter what you do, the world is going to hate you,

if you are a true follower of Christ, the fact is you will offend

even when you are not trying to offend.

This movie "Lord safe us from your followers"

try's to somehow find common ground,

it tries to find the reason Christians are hated,

when the fact is... the world hates Jesus, so the

world will hate us.

Now don't get me wrong, I know there are plenty

of Christian hypocrites, and Christians who point their

fingers at anything and everything, Christians who sit

in their little church's and condemn everyone who

doesn't go to their church or don't dress like them

and blah blah blah.."Legalistic" comes to mind..

I myself lean more towards not being "religious"

not being "legalistic" "non denominational"..

if you believe in Jesus Christ that he is

Lord and savior redeemer who died for our sins

and rose again, that he is returning a second time

and that there is only one GOD...Jesus and the holy spirit

as one...then we shouldn't have a problem.

If I believe in Jesus and you believe in Jesus(sorry mormons

you don't count)

then what are we arguing about? stop being so

freakin legalistic..

However now I'm getting off subject somewhat.

The point I'm trying to make is this,

"Lord save us from your followers"

I totally have no problem with the title, in fact

I looked at that and thought "Right on.."

but the movie itself is flawed, or maybe I should say

could be flawed depending on how you take it.

For we are called to be Christ-like for sure...

and we are called to LOVE..

Love suffers long [and] is kind;

love does not envy; love does not parade itself,

is not puffed up;

does not behave rudely,

does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;

does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;

bears all things, believes all things,

hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Love rejoices in Truth? and what is truth?

what I think? no... Truth is in the word of God,

do I rejoice in someone elses faults?

do I rejoice that gay people are going to hell?

No..absolutely not

Do I think it's ok to laugh and make fun of gay people?

Do I think it's ok to attack them and yell at them and

curse them.. no not at all, I feel guilty for

making fun of them with gay jokes and what not,

and I can totally understand him apologizing

to the gay people like he did in the movie.

However, the fact still remains that they are

slapping God in the face, the fact still remains

that they will go to hell if they continue

living like they do, and it's not because I said so...

it's because GOD SAID SO! I feel sorry for them..

I want them to know the TRUTH, and I would remain honest

about what God says. That my friends would be TRUE LOVE,

because I don't want to see them burn! that should always

be the reason for speaking out, not because you want to be

right or because you want to force your opinion on someone,

you should speak up for Gods word out of LOVE, because you

want that person to be overwhelmed with Christ, and

to realize there is so much more to this world...to life,

then what we see with our eyes.

How is it love to embrace their sin to tolerate it as if God would?

how is it love to ignore the fact that they can't

have a relationship with God if they don't

ask for forgiveness of their sin and turn from their sins?

TELL ME, How is it love not to warn them?

I'm not saying to shun away from them...I'm not saying

to hate them, I'm not saying don't help them...

but you must stand by the word of GOD...

You must stand for what's RIGHT and what's WRONG..

or what is the point of calling yourself a Christian?

If you won't stand up for Christ, don't expect

him to stand up for you when you are in the judgment seat.

You can't be afraid of telling the truth,

you can't be afraid of standing up for Christ.

You can't keep your mouth shut in hopes that the world

wont hate you, that's not of Christ at all!

Did Jesus hang around sinners? once again YES he did!

what did he say to the adulterous woman?

Did he help her? did he condemn her?

Jesus saved her from being stoned but at the same time

he said "Go and SIN NO MORE!"

SIN NO MORE! did he say it's ok that you did what you did,

I still love you and you may go and continue what you are

doing? NO! he essentially said

"Listen...I love you, and I forgive you for what you have done,

now go and turn from your ways"

From my perspective, to be honest, I can appreciate

the movie. There is a lot to like about the movie

and the overall premise of it... is pretty much right on,

all I'm saying is I think people can become confused.

I want to make it perfectly clear also, that I'm not

for going up to gays or anyone else for that matter and

just out of nowhere be like "Your a sinner and your going to hell"

or "God hates fags"..because we are called to show LOVE.

I absolutely think we should be there

for someone who hates us and Christ,

that we should be kind and speak up for those that

are kicked around. The thing is I can love you,

and disagree with your life style at the same time,

and again I'm not talking about keeping quiet about what's

right and wrong. Because if a gay person were to ask me

"what do I think about my life style" or "Am I going to hell"

guess what? I'm going to tell them exactly what God and the bible

says.

Am I going to say "Gay marriage" is right? no..its wrong..

Am I going to say abortion is right? no...it''s wrong..

I'll stand by that till I stop breathing. BUT am I

going to look down on someone who is gay or someone

who had an abortion and say "I'm better then you"

absolutely not...sin is sin either way you look at it,

and again we all are nothing but wretched people...

and I'm going to stand for what's right but I won't

condemn you, I refuse to hate you..

and just like Christ, i'll protect you

from the mud slinging and judgmental rock throwing

and the abuse and the hate and I'll tell you

you are walking into a place of self indulgence

into shame guilt and unhappiness. Overall though

I'll just show love, not because I want something from you,

not because I'm afraid of confrontation, but because I'm

called to be like Christ...who told it like it is and didn't

dance around the truth but at the same time he LOVED.

As long as you take "Save us from your followers" the right way,
