Being the SuperCulture

// June 29th, 2010 // 2 Comments » // My Thoughts

There are those that believe that the true “Body of Christ” is a subculture of the modern movement of “Christianity” The idea is that there are many that identify themselves as “Christian” and yet deny very principals and ideals of Christ himself; exchanging them for the more widely accepted “Religious Right” or other similar political views… The idea is that “Christianity” as a whole has become somewhat of a misnomer. Simply put the “Bride of Christ” has moved on beyond the lazy ideals of post modern Christianity. There is a great “calling out” for those who follow Jesus Christ.

I tend to disagree. A subculture depends on the culture that it is within to survive…. we are looking at this the wrong way… Following Jesus Is the SuperCulture…. It has and always will survive…we are not being called out of Christianity… we are apart… we are “Set Apart” as the disciples of Jesus we exist and function in whatever culture that we find ourselves yet we are not dependent on that culture for our existence… We are the SuperCulture that is the Bride of Christ.

How is that for a new perspective?

Comments anyone?

The Symphony

// June 1st, 2010 // No Comments » // My God, My Life, My Thoughts

It is amazing to me how God’s will is constantly moving us. Moving us in or out of places or positions of service. Using our own actions and the course of our lives to bring a magnificent symphony of his design and purpose into existence. We have only to be at peace that his will is done and we are gracefully included in it!

Enemy

// May 12th, 2010 // 1 Comment » // My Life, My Thoughts

There is a lot going on this week!   Many of my close friends, family, and brothers and sisters in Christ are most definitely enduring heavy spiritual oppression and attack.   As I have been meditating and praying… trying to discern and see “by faith and not by sight”  I was moved to begin writing this letter to the enemy… I believe that we should all live as spiritual warriors and take the battle to the enemy… oh and just  so you know… all my fellow spiritual warriors out there… the enemy is not each other! :)  we are on the same team!

Enemy,

I feel your hot breath on my neck,
you press down on my shoulders crushing my chest
my breath comes quick and shallow,
I feel your shadow clouding my vision
your fog obscuring my perceptions
you dangle fear in front of me hoping to weaken my resolve
you promise destruction, abandonment, heartbreak
you whisper lies and deceptive thoughts

Enemy,

Your friends are near
they smell the blood of saints ready to be spilled
they come close spoiling for an unfair fight
they hop from one foot to the other
waiting to watch the struggle
they click their tongues… leer… and kick
hoping to incite a reaction…
they savor every ounce of struggle

Enemy,

you’ve made a grave mistake…
you have missed my smile.
your feet may be on my shoulders
but my soul rests in the hand of God
his crushing grip will take you at the last
and it will cradle me like a baby…
Then I will rise in his strength
my sword will cleave the last of you
you will see the rage of the Almighty
as it courses through the veins of his warrior

Enemy,

You might want to think twice next time…

Where the Healing Begins

// May 11th, 2010 // No Comments » // My Favorites, My Life, My Thoughts

Healing Begins – Tenth Avenue North-    This song has been tackling me all day today! I am dealing with a friendship that is being pushed to the limits… mostly because of me… because I can never leave things as they are… I challenge those around me… to sacrifice… to love harder… to live harder… to be more committed… to die to themselves… Its not like I do not expect the same from myself and more… its just that the general consensus is that its not really my business…or my job… but if you read I CAN’T NOT Then you know… my friends don’t have the luxury of “status quo” living…It is a requirement of friendship that I hold the ones around me that claim the name of Jesus…  accountable for their actions… and I do this purely out of love for them… because I want what is best for them… I want God to be glorified in their lives…

So … about this song…  My wife was singing it this morning and said… “you need to look up this song online”  so I found it on youtube.com  and It just literally felt like the words had poured from my heart directly… I played it again and I was overwhelmed with the emotion of my present struggles…   I went to work… and going through my email… this song shows up as a free download  on Itickets.com I kinda shook my head… and listened to it again…  so I go on with my workday… for the past few months I have listened to pandora at work… today of all days, I decided to go to Air1.com and would you know the minute it comes on  ”Healing Begins”  starts pouring out of my speakers.   No doubt today I am hearing very clearly that God intends healing… how and when… and who that happens to is something that has yet to be seen… maybe it is you… or me… let me know… is it you?
