People are Interesting.

So I have 2 Art history classes. When I first found out I thought " NOOOOO!!!!! IM going to DIE!" but believe it or not, these are probably 2 of my favorite classes. Its interesting to listening to my teachers views on life, art, and religion. And since in the past art has been so inspired by religion, I get to hear their views on "Christianity". Its really interesting because what they say "Christians" believe is so off. It amazes me. It lets me see how powerfull art is, in how it has shaped peoples view of the bible, God, and what Jesus preached(o and dont forget the world). What they say is so amazingly off, I think to myself, "Should I say that that story is not in the bible? Should I tell him that David didnt fight Galieth because of a bet and because Galieth was a bully? Should I tell her that No where in the bible does it say that 'if you live a righteous enough life you'll sit at the right hand of God' Should I tell her that it actually says the opposite? Even if it did say that God would have to have alot of right sides." So it has fasinated me to get more insite into what people actually thing the word says. And not just street people but very well educated and "cultured" people. I just hope that If God does want me to say something he will give me the oppertunity to, and that I wont shy away from it. That if this oppertunity does come that I will embrace it with boldness. welp only time will tell.

All of this also makes me think; How do we live out the life style that Christ called us to live? What does that look like for me here in the context of philly, in the context of the art institute, in the context of 12th street gym (I think I'm the only straight guy in this gym. AWESOME!), and what does it look like at home and in my church? Im trying to figure this out. I think at times we all need to think and realign our selves to the life style of Christ. Not just the life style but most importantly to Christ himself.!

there you have it, people are very interesting.

belief

What if we believers actually believed that God wanted to reclaim this world? What if we actually believed that the way we live out lives could change nations? What if we actually believed the words we said could bring Life and bring death? What if, we, the body of Christ believed that God wanted to use us to bring his glory to the cities we live in? What if we believed that the climax of our lives is not the job, family, things we obtain but believed the climax was the revelation of God? What if we, the body of Christ, actually believed that God has a purpose for our life? What if us Christians, actually believed in the Creator of the Universe, God?

What would our lives look like? What would our relationships look like? What would our communities look like? What would our churches look like? What would our cities look like? What would our nations look like? What would this globe look like? What would the history yet to be written say?

Don’t know.

Just things I’ve been thinking about. Just thought I’d share.

ooh gosh

Sorry that my post is so long. Thanks everybody that actually reads my thoughts. Its encouraging to me.

So thank you so much. and I hope that the crazy stuff that comes out of my head will encourage and i guess challenge who ever reads. Aight thanks. this might be the last post for a while. I feel like I have squeezed everything outa my head. But im Sure God will lay it on me in good time. Aight

Beauty (I swear I'm tough! Really I am!)

For the past few months I’ve been thinking about this whole tasting God and seeing more of His character. I’ve been thinking about how often we as christians tend to point out the bad or sin in others or ourselves. But sometimes will swing to the other side, for fear of offending people. We tend to tell people about Hell so we can get them to heaven. Often times we can paint a better picture of Hell then we do heaven. Is that because we don’t know what The Kingdom tastes like? Maybe its because this world is in such terrible shape its that much easier to imagine Hell over Heaven. It could be because we are content knowing “I’m saved, so some day I’ll get to heaven. I just need to hold on till I die.” What if we were tasting God every day? Getting glimpses of Gods character. What if we were able to paint the most vivid pictures of The Creator of Beauty?

I don’t Think our job is to strike fear into people’s heart by telling them how they are wretched sinners, Our job is to be painters. We need to be painting pictures of Love, Grace, Beauty, Truth with word and action. I feel a lot of times we feel like we need to tell people what they are doing wrong (some times yes, that is the case). But when I read the scriptures I see Jesus displaying who he is before He talks about their sins, or they already know about him and have heard the stories.(john 4:10, 5:8-14, and all the miracles and teachings showed who He was. read the gospels.) Paul, in Acts is always painting pictures of who God is (Acts 17:24, 14:3, 13:17, 14:17, I’m sure there are more). Why is it difficult for us to display who God is?

Maybe it is because for the past several years or decades or more, we’ve been focused on sin management. The focus is doing Gods commands but not God... Eh I don’t know if that made sense. Let me try to explain my thoughts. You can do everything your parents tell you to do and still hate them. You can do things you know your spouse loves and be having an affair with another person. Like C. S. Lewis says you can do good for the sake of doing good (Mere Christianity). You can obey all of God’s commands to the T, and still be off and not know who God is (Pharisees).

Since I’ve come home this summer I have felt like God continues to tell me to see what He is doing in me. To watch the things God is changing or putting to death or bringing alive. It’s been an amazing part of this journey, tough, but amazing. I think to be able to tell people who God is we need to taste Him daily. We have to know what its like to have Him working in us. Most of the time I get antsy if I’m not out doing something. So it’s been good for me to learn to focus more on the inside of me. It’s this interesting balance, balancing what’s going on in me and yet still moving forward in trying to bring His kingdom. Balancing serving and sitting. I think it is key to finding fullness in Christ.

These days I am discovering the key to repentance and a holy fear is in discovering Beauty. I think if we pulled the plug on sin management and changed our focus to knowing God in EVERY aspect of life, the sin would be less and less (Matt 6:33). Some might argue by saying “We Need the law! It lets us know our need for God.” Yes we find out we Need him, but not love Him. You can need something and resent it for the fact that you need it. I think the key to an obedient HEART is knowing who God is. Look at Simeon Peter, Isaiah, Saul who becomes paul, Other people who encounter God.

When Peter saw Christ he said “ Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man”(luke 5:8).

We can also look at Isaiah who said “Woe to me!” I cried, ”I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, LORD Almighty.”(isaiah 6:5).

Job says, “My ears have heard of you. but now my eyes have seen you. Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.” (Job 42:5-6)

I could continue on with examples of people seeing God and getting wrecked. When people realize who God is they were appalled with their actions. They changed because the taste in their mouths was to amazing and the old flavor turned sour in their stomachs.

I know for me the revelation of who God is is what makes me want to change. When I taste God in the new ways that makes me “despise myself”. That’s what makes me want to change, not someone telling me I’m bad. Until I taste a righteous God, bad is irrelevant, just something people talk about. An abstract concept.

Maybe another reason why we don’t paint pictures of God’s creative beauty is because it’s easier to talk about sin. It’s easy to point out the negative. It’s hard to discover beauty when we’ve felt so much pain in our lives. Discovering beauty is hard when genocide's are occurring in Africa, Aids is rampant, suicide bombers are plentiful, and when the hatred and anger of a broken generation fill the streets of the globe. It’s tough to talk about beauty when all we see is the sin in our lives. Telling others about the beauty we see in life is very difficult when it hurts to deal with the issues of our life. It doesn’t feel good when God works in us. It usually hurts... A lot. (all the verses above and more) I have found its like we have pieces of broken glass under our skin. To get this glass out God has to first cut us open. Then He digs down below our flesh to find the glass. Once found, He pulls it out. Of course one of the things about glass is it is sharp, so when God pulls it out it cuts us more on the way out. BUT, now your body will actually HEAL! No more infection, the root is out. We are one more step to walking in wholeness. Its our choice to let God get the glass out. (maybe you disagree, no worries)

Awesome thing about free will, its our choice to find the beauty. It’s our choice to go on a path that leads to the discovery of truth, but will bring hardship and pain. In the end this path leads to inexpressible Joy, Hope, Love, Peace, and Grace. As we get these things dealt with we see God in new ways. We see the clouds starting to part and Hope starting to rain down. How can we experience the Goodness in life if we are so full of un-dealt with pain and anger? We need to experience God’s touch in our lives before we can show others who this Healer is.

When I use to read Acts I would think that my job was to Stand on street corners and in large crowds and preach messages of repentance. In Acts you see pictures of Paul, Peter, and that whole crew going around city to city preaching. After reading things like that I would ask myself “Am I not bold enough cause I don’t like doing that? Do I not have enough faith in Christ?”. Now, I don’t think thats the case. (Maybe I’m just saying this to make myself feel better for the fact that I don’t do that. Maybe I’m giving myself an easy way out. HA who knows. ) If you think about it, most of the places where they did there big stand up speeches was when they were in the synagogs. The people in the synagog were already well versed in the scriptures. These people had been told time and time again the great deeds of I AM. They didn’t need people to tell them the story of creation, the story of man, the story of the bride. The jewish people knew the story up until the time of Jesus. So when these apostles spoke they were speaking about things that made sense, because most Jews had a picture of God already in there head.

In other parts of Acts the disciples branch out to other nations and speak. When reading that I also use to think to myself, “do I need to be bold like that to be a good christian? Do I need to travel around telling people of their sins?.” I think the answer is a kind of yes, but not right away... I say that because the places where the Disciples went many times had already hear of The Way. The story’s of the great works and miracles had already reached the ears of the people in these countries. In the countries that they had not gotten to the apostles painted pictures of God before telling them to repent. Does our reputation as christians pre-seed us in America today? Do our actions back up our talk? Does our life paint a picture of God Almighty? Do we have the authority to speak on such things, or have we not lived a life of authority?

In America do people even know the God we worship? Do we know more sides to God besides Savior? Does our life style help lead people to the discovery of Truth? In working at Home Depot I have met people who have NO idea who the True God is. They think they do because christianity is the religion of America. One person I talked to didn’t even know that God gave the jewish people the 10 commandments let alone that there was 10 rules God gave humans. Thats not his fault. So does it make it our fault for not showing people who God is? I’ve also met “Christians” that don’t even know what Christianity is. How have we let such a vital thing slip through the cracks? What does “you need a personal relationship with God” even mean when we aren’t teaching people who God is?

I think we are at a time in history where we, the Church, are being forced to discover more of who God is. People don’t care about sin any more. Right and wrong is as relevant as it is irrelevant. With a mind set of “Hey thats great for you but stop judging me”, how do we expect to keep moving in the direction we have been. The direction of saying you are a “sinful person, repent, God loves you”. If people haven’t tasted the Goodness of truth how will they know that truth really exists? Or if us, Believers, were not there to tell them that what they saw was Truth or what they tasted was a part of God, why would we expect them to want God? If we as followers of God can’t see the beauty in the valleys how then can we point others to Beauty? If we aren’t desperate to walk in wholeness with Christ, how can we help others to walk towards maturity?

I think this cultural shift, changing of times, is good for the body of Christ. Its forcing us to seek and to find, to ask and receive.(Luke 11:9-10). It’s forcing us to rely on God in new ways, because old styles aren’t working as well as they use to. (Matt 5:36-39)

We have a job to reintroduce a country, a nation, a world to the Mysterious Creator. We need to be people who recognize beauty. Lets be so eager to taste this sweet flavor. Let’s discover God all over again. Our lives need to become a reflection of Christ. The Church needs to be a representation of who God IS and how He Loves others. I’m tired of people forming their view of God from how they see “Christians” behave. They see “christians” with “God hates Fags” posters and passing out flyers telling people they are going to hell. (sometimes the flyers do draw people to God, I know). We need to learn to delight in Him no matter what’s going down around us. I pray the our roots will be drinking from the river of Life, and that our leaves will be for the healing of the nations. Lets share with one another the new discoveries of Christ and encourage each other to dig deeper to discover more. Lets help people discover more of God where ever they are on their life journey.

Community and stuff

These are just my thoughts. Just me thinking out different things, and asking different questions as I walk out on my journey through life and toward God. Sorry its so long.

Life is a crazy thing. I’ve been realizing recently how all encompassing this walk that Jesus called us to walk really is. I think so many times we think the goal is to get to heaven and to get other people there as well. What if that view of following Christ is wrong? I think so often we itemize our lives. We separate church and state (I’m not saying we should make a political party cause that just gets nasty and people declare war and make stupid decisions in Gods name). Often times we also separate work from our walk with Christ, but sometimes they happen to meet up and cross paths. Is it supposed to be like this? If not then what is it supposed to look like?

Every time I read the book of Acts I’m floored with the way people lived. The early Christians lived so much different from us. I know its a different culture and a different period in time, but have we adapted this gospel the best way we can to the way our culture works today? Or have we missed the mark and not fully understood the reasons for the way things were done? Or do we not question and not think about it cause we don’t want to have to rediscover what we believe? We don’t want to find out we were wrong or misunderstood what the sacred text is saying. Isn’t that what it truly means to be a disciple? To be a student, always learning and being re-taught. Or have we decided we have learned all we need to know and its good, but we don’t want anything else? What if God wants to give you more?

Ok, now back to my comment on “the goal is to get to heaven and to get other people there.” Now a days in my thought process and journey I don’t really think thats the goal. Obviously the number 1 goal is to love God and love others, but I don’t think its about “getting to heaven” when we die. (maybe it is and maybe I’ve missed the point just cause I want there to be something more... I don’t know.) I think its about bringing or realizing and showing the Kingdom of Heaven where ever we go and where ever we step. I think our job is not to “save” people but to help them on their journey to discovering the beauty of God, the goodness in life, and the truth in life. But of course to be someone who is able to show others these things we need to be tasting them continually, and discovering things in the picture we didn’t see before.

Back to the “kingdom of Heaven”. Jesus is always talking about the kingdom of Heaven being near. (read the gospels if you don’t believe me) At one point some one asks Jesus where and when is the Kingdom of God, Jesus basically replies, wrong question, now and here. (Luke 17:20- on. its a pretty cool dialogue exchange, I kinda poorly summarized it) Has the churched turned into the where and whens? Are we running around looking for God and looking for the place where the kingdom is or will be? Or are we waiting assuming its coming when we die and the world sucks, so I’ll wait for it to come? It’s our job to be tasting God every where we are, discovering truth where ever God chooses to reveal it(Acts 17:23, 17, 28, and some more). We need to be enjoying beauty every where we go, even the valleys. I think through doing that it starts to touch the Kingdom of God and brings it to earth, and thats how others catch on and say I want that.

One of the things in the American church is we have turned the walk into a loan man walk were your path will run in with other believers a few times a week at the assigned religious time. Thats not bad but I think there is much more God has for us. These days people are all about relationship ministries. Which is right on, but a lot of times it is done solo and stays solo until the believer gets the unbeliever to church then the believers job is done. The bait was taken and the soul was saved. well done.

In reading the bible and learning more about the church and the culture of the time I see how community based it was. A lot of times these days, we will say our church is a community. Even more, some times we will have community in the name of our church. In Acts the church was an intense community of people eating together, praying together, worshiping together, and giving to one another so that no one among them was in need. (I would give book references in Acts but there are to many just read the book and you will see what I’m talking about.) How amazing is that?! Is that even possible in American culture? I’m not saying the Christians should segregate them selves to a block or part of the city. Thats just weird, wrong, and how poisonous kool-aid gets made. How can we as the body of Christ live like the Acts church? For the early church it wasn’t a time and a place it was them, It was what they breathed, it was who they were. They didn’t even think of church as where and when. They didn’t say “let’s start church...... NOW...ok we will be ending...... Now. See ya next week or Wednesday, don’t sin.”

I think when you live in community with other believers it creates a green house affect. (like dts...) You are going though other peoples struggles with them and see them discover God in new ways which then leads you to new discovery and deeper healing. Instead of being on your own and having to go through the problems, the joys, and the revelations by yourself, you are with others and learning together non stop. In this type of environment it is difficult not to discover and grow in Christ. When people as a group are discussing their lives with Christ it encourages one another, brings hope, and gives a sense of family. In community you rejoice together, party together, morn together, and change the world together. I think there are a lot of other huge positives but my heads not working while I’m typing this paragraph. sorry. I guess our question should be then what is true community?


Is there a way in America to be a community that IS the church? Do we have to stop using the word church because it is so often miss-understood today? Should we let the non-christians name us instead of Us telling them what we are?(Acts 17:6 “those that have turned the world upside down”) We can live it and let the nonbelievers tell us our name? I wonder if in Antioch, it was really the nonbelievers who first named the believers christians.( Acts 11:26) That would be a bold move to say “Look at me I act like Christ so I am a christian!” Who knows, interesting to think about though. Or how nonbelievers gave believers a word for the way they worshiped their God, enthusiasm. (I’ve heard it said, so double check and correct me if I’m wrong, that the nonbelievers had to make up a word for the way beleivers worshiped. so they made the word Enthusiasm. Origin early 17th cent. (from French Enthousiasme, or via late Latin from Greek enthousiasmos, from enthous ‘possessed by a god, inspired’ (based on theos ‘God’)) Do we live in such a way that I confuses the world? Do we live our hourly lives with the passion and inspiration of the Creator God?


Its true that the life style they lived in Acts goes against American culture.(Acts 4:32-) Christianity isn’t supposed to be a subcultural clone of what America is doing. Christianity is not the “holy twin” of the American nation. Christianity is not democratic, republican or even green party. We are apart of a different Kingdom, we are aliens in this world. I think when we get our minds around that it is easy to realize we should be living to bring that Kingdom here(John 6:66-69). So why are we waiting to die to see heaven? Lets start discovering and bringing the Kingdom of heaven every where we go! The disciples weren’t waiting they were living it. They were doing it so well that people of the kingdom they lived in got scared of their kingdom. So scared they started killing the believers(again I’m too lazy to give all the reference read the book of ACts). But others liked the teachings of this kingdom so much they wanted to hear more(Acts 17:20 and others)


Yes, Living like that will take huge sacrifice and be a huge personal cost. But like the Good book says, “this is a hard teaching, who can accept it.”(John 6:60, Mark 10:24) Christ also said its a narrow road(Matt 7:14). Are we as the body of Christ, as the church, on that road?

I think God does move with the solo or the small group walk, no doubt, but could you imagine if we behaved holy and believed we are who God says we are in large groups? If we were a community that walked out in an unbelievable love and full of mercy and grace. How many heads would be turning if we acted like that was who we are? how many people would be asking us not when and where but why and how? What a beautiful picture of the body of christ that would be! Could you imagine if the church was the Church and didn’t attend it? If we didn’t have these stupid divider lines called denominations up, but moved as one body? OO man that would be KICK A!

The walk that those who claim Christ’s name are called to live is so much greater then the where and when. It’s a constant. If we want to change entire cities we are going to have to walk out in the crazy counter cultural life style every second with the WHOLE body of Christ. What does that look like? I don’t know, but lets stop waiting to die and lets find out!

This walk means looking out for each others needs, till no one is in need. Helping the poor and other communities around us. Walking out in a grace that makes no sense, a love that confuses the logic of the smartest. Stepping out in faith and living like we can’t wait for the fullness of Gods kingdom to come here on earth. It means putting the “holy twin” to death, and starting a fresh with the culture that the Creator of the universe is King of.

The days of stadium revivals is over, the times when a good argument would make people except christ is dead. People are looking for life, substance, truth, something worth living for, and love. How will they find something that they have never seen? How will they believe in something they have never tasted? Lets show them every where we go, Every step we take, Every deed done, and every word spoken!! Lets let them join us on our journey to help them start theirs. Lets stop waiting to die and lets start living Kingdom lives now, no matter what the cost and what the consequences. Lets do this because that is our calling, this is who we are. Lets do this out of love and reverence to a Holy merciful God! There is nothing else worth living for.

Maybe all this is wishful thinking for me. Maybe I’m reading the scriptures the wrong way. Maybe I’ve fallen off my rocker and am try to live out an unattainable dream world. Maybe I missed the street sign for the narrow road and am on the interstate.

or maybe, just maybe...

God is moving globally doing new things. Maybe its our choice to partner with this Awe inspiring Creator and go against the flow of the way things have been done,

or we can say “No, my ways are working just fine for me.”

We can relearn and rediscover this Creator and His creation,

or we can say “I’m the teacher now. I have figured out this thing and I have the methods down solid, I’m no longer a disciple.”

oo man

hey i just finished typing up my deep thoughts... but im going to post it tonight. and it is hella long. i apologize that my next post is sooooooooo long. forgive me friends.

chris

give me a day or two

The wheels are turn and I'm thinking way to much. Get ready some deep thoughts are coming.

O GOSH the Cost of Discipleship

I hope you can track with this, despite my poor english skills and abstract thought flow.

So recently I’ve been thinking a lot about following God. About what it means to be a, disciple. A follower of God. A lot of times I feel like we tame down the life we are really called to live. I read passages like Acts 19:19, and how these people went to such great lengths, behaved in such an extreme way, to receive God in fullness, and know God in wholeness. These people burned their valuable scrolls. They didn’t throw them away or sell them , but they made a huge bond fire and burned them publicly, and because of this extreme behavior the word of the Lord spread widely and grew in power. Wow, grew in power. Side note: could you imagine if Christians in the west went to such great extremes out of reverence to God? If believers sold their possessions and gave to people uncontrollably to make sure every one had what they needed? the state of the world might be a little different. maybe.

Also I think of when Jesus talks about the cost of discipleship in Luke 14:28. He tells a story saying, You don’t start to build a building with out first figuring out how much it will cost. You don’t start and then have to stop half way through with the building just being a skeleton of a building with no real substance or structure, because you ran out of money. But Jesus saying you count the cost. So you see what the labor will be and you see what money it will take. If you don’t then people will laugh at you and mock you for not being able to finish what you put out to do. We can’t forget the other parts in the gospel where Jesus says things like sell everything and follow me(Matt 19:21), Foxes have holes and birds have nests but the son of man has no place to lay his head(Luke 9:57-62), You will be beaten and killed(Matt 24:9), even your family will hate you(john 15:18) , a profit is not welcome in his own home(Matt 13:57), And we see the disciples paid a HUGE price for their decision to follow Christ (rest of the bible, haha sorry not an easy one verse to pull)(sorry this last paragraph seems like a huge downer.)Lets not over look our brothers and sisters that even today are all over the world paying a price that causes most westerns to turn up there music or retreat into the realm of books, and TV. I could write many more pages just on bible examples as well as today examples of the cost...

So I was thinking about how western churches some times have a lack of zeal for the Creator of the Universe. Then I remembered what my friend said (something like this) “If you don’t pay anything for something, its not worth anything to you, but the things you pay a lot for, you take great care of” (wow, I just killed that completely! sorry friend) Its true that if you lose something or something gets stolen that you got for free your like, “ that sucks but all well I never paid for it, so all well.” So maybe thats one of the reasons the western world looses faith or don’t fight for beauty, the awe inspiring God. Because in the west we don’t usually have teachings on what its going to cost, the really hard teaching. Also in this western world there is such a minimal cost to follow Christ, or so I thought...

I used to think that the cost of being a follower of Christ was limited to just the physical and material cost. But the other night I found out it is so much more then that. Those things are just the begging of the cost.

(honesty time)

So the other night I was realizing some crap about myself,(more like this whole weekend but lets continue...) areas I really needed to tackle and deal with, If I wanted to live in the fullness of God. I called my friend and was talking to her, more venting my thoughts. Basically I was pretty broken. (the story of my recent life) I didn’t know how to fix the problems. The easiest thing for me to have done would have been to say “Im right or I can’t change because I’m a wrenched sinner, so I’ll learn to live with it.” But I believe Christ’s death was and is for more then a sin cleanser and a get out of hell card(some people who read might think I’m terrible after that. Tough deal with it haha ). I believe it was to bring wholeness and completeness to this whole world, the human race, all spheres of society and culture. So I want to strive to become more and more complete. Its a process. so after I got off the phone I went to take a shower...

When I was getting ready, all of a sudden it hit me. THIS IS THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP!! Not taking the shower, but I realized the cost is not limited to the physical and material hard times. The cost is so much more (oo great I have to pay even more? you might ask) The cost is saying I’m not always right and not stopping there but moving forward to say God I’m broken, I’m tired, and I feel like I’m finished, so please help me conquer this! The cost of following Christ is having those revelations that make us say “Go away from me , LORD; I am a sinful man”(Luke 5:8) but not stopping at that, but moving on to hear God say back “Don’t be afraid, I will make you fishers of men.” The cost is being an emotional wreck, not knowing what is going to happen next, obedience that sketches(or freaks) us out, cause we just quit our job and have a family to feed. It was quit an amazing moment for me. It’s easy for me to live with nothing and travel to the unknown but its not easy for me to break down and in those darkest moments dig deeper into the chasm, the unknown yet all to real darkness, to find the root and pull it out. To find the thorn that is the cause of this pain and one of the things preventing me from living in wholeness with Christ. That is some of the toughest costs we have to pay when we become disciples of the Living King of all of Creation.

Maybe you just read all of this and are now like “No daa chris, I have always known this.” I thought I did to until I walked into it. Then the revelation became real. Which is why I believe we were meant to walk out in community , and community is more then 3 day a week one hour meeting. but thats something that maybe I’ll Think about some other time.
But lets count the cost and not only Count it but say “Lord there is nothing I want more then to walk in the Fullness of you and bring your completeness to creation” It’s an awesome journey. And I hope when people read this message they don’t “walk away sad”(Matt 19:22) and hopefully we wont say “This is a hard teaching, who can accept it?”(John 6:60)

intro

So this is just going to be me posting my thoughts, revolutions and other stuff in my head. So brace yourself it might get a little wild.
