When the Weak can be Strong

When it comes to interpersonal relationships.

There are weak people and there are strong people.

The strong controls the weak and enjoys being strong, although they are not as strong as it might appear

The weak judge the strong and enjoys being weak and are not as weak as they might appear.

Only Jesus Christ can make them equal. In him the weak are willing to lay down their weakness and say “I am strong in him”, and the strong are willing to lay down their tools of dominance and strength over the weak for as long as the Lord wants, perhaps even a lifetime.

This is a sign that Jesus is able to dwell
In a people when the weak can be “strong” and strong can be “weak”. Back and forth taking turns laying down and picking up.

The clergy-laity hierarchy is a great display of this back and forth between the weak and the strong (for good or for bad).

Preparing the Way For the State

What John the Baptist did for Jesus Christ.

Generally speaking, in the world of US politics, republicans do (unintentionally) for democrats/ or whoever comes next among those grasping for government power.

They prepare the way for someone else, as we follow and embrace them, they prepare us spiritually, (in a really bad way.)

They fortify and fund “the swamp” over the decades. The swamp is the state. It’s Satan turning to hijack what the Lord instituted.

They’ve embraced what I call “the gospel of the state” and make it acceptable to the masses who normally would resist.

They prepare us to accept and embrace another gospel about power on this earth and about the future.

They prepare us for the Democrats who (for now) seem more in line with, more intentional and precise about what they want and their vision for the future.

That future best described as “we’ll try anything but Jesus Christ. We insist we have his position over the earth.” It’s been going on now for centuries. They are losing. They hate one another, but they’ll cooperate in that effort.

Its Our job to exercise his authority over than and to communicate the gospel of the kingdom of Jesus Christ to them both.

If we can hear it, if we can embrace it ourselves and then if we can communicate it clearly many if not most of them will stop with the nonsense.

The Origins of Cancel Culture

It seems to me that Cancel culture has been going on for centuries among the Christians.

“With the measure we use, the same measure will be used against us.”

All that we see in the media and in big tech and in the governments around the cruel and unnecessary cancel culture and censorship … I think began among us, those who follow Jesus. We accidentally teach the culture toxic nonsense in our churches.

It’s denominationalism, it’s clergy competition, it’s shopping around for the most entertaining, most self-serving sermons/ churches.

It’s all that … Evolved and spread out into the culture. It’s the competitive gossiping from pulpits.
—————-

Similarly we hold the keys to ending it. Jesus makes it so easy. He is so merciful and powerful and patient. It’s not by woke paranoia avoiding and always being one step ahead of our enemy.

it won’t ever be by fighting the culture. Or by pursuing power over it. People like Trump to protect us from enemies are not the answer, as much as we wish he were. Israel also craved a militant powerful king to protect and deliver them.

We are to change direction (if we haven’t already), and stop the immaturity, we’ll need to follow and seek Jesus with pure hearts. Stop chasing king-like clergyman to control and entertain us, or political leaders to rescue us. Jesus is not doing that.

I’m very optimistic about Jesus’ ability to lead us out of our messes.
