The Hip Opinion

Being here in Oklahoma most folks are republican… Rather they go to church or not… It has always baffled me about how Christians have somehow gathered together as some kind of massive republican army… It’s very strange. I assume it has to do with the fight against evil and all.

The people in Jesus’s day were looking for a Messiah to overcome the Roman occupation. Someone to save them from the evil of that government. Jesus didn’t seem too interested in this cause. In fact I don’t think he was interested in politics at all. He seemed to talk more about loving enemy’s and stuff… Ushering a new kingdom based on love.

Perhaps that’s what the church should consider working on. Instead of moral rights and family values,lets work on loving unconditionally and help usher in a new kingdom on earth. Overcoming the world and bringing in a new kingdom.

John 16:33
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Easier said than done but you gotta start somewhere right? It’s all “Emerging Church” stuff that I’ll blog about later… You dig?

It’s what I have been pondering through pitifully terrible behavior over the past 3 years since the death of my wife…As they say in AA I’m “sick and tired of being sick and tired”

Oh I believed in Hell… And I still do… I question rather God is going to allow over 4 billion people to go there with Satan and his angels…But this is not a thing for me to decide… Or even ponder…What is the big deal anyways… I been back and forth to hell several times these last 3 years…

Why worry about such things when there is a HELL on earth?

I quit thinking about that (for the most part) and focusing on trusting Christ. I am reading the new testament straight through as well as other Christian Literature. Some I have come to realize is not accepted by many evangelicals because it is part of “The Emerging Church” which is quite new to me…

I can see God working in my life…And I am enjoying fellowship with Him again!
Shine On!
