GO

A punch in the gut… That’s probably the best way to describe it. I read so many posts here and that is the overwhelming feeling that I’m left with from most of them - a winded and slightly sick feeling .. The kind that comes from a blindsided sucker punch that only a COWARD could deliver…

I believe the Bible word for word… I believe it says exactly what it says , NO EXCEPTIONS … and I do my best EVERYDAY to live those things out to the best of my ability and then at the end of the day get down on my FACE and my thank my creator that his grace can fill in the gaps that my faults create…

I believe…and it demands something from me.

In Mathew 28:18-20 it says “ And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. “GO” therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe ALL that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”… It doesn’t say “preacher go” - it simply says “GO“… So I GO... I go seeking “The Honest Hearts” who are seeking the truth..

But this is what I mostly find -

The “Angry Hearts” who would rather lash out with malcontent than accept an honest gesture…“The Antagonist” who believes that acting like an Atheist makes him cool and edgy when in truth he is afraid and alone… “The Atheist” who has read just enough Darwin to convince himself he is an expert , when in fact he knows that it takes more faith “NOT” to believe than “TO” believe because it will change everything if he gives in… All of which approach and attack me and my convictions with the combat ethics of a wild boar , but only after they finish blogging their “You must accept everything about me or your a hateful bigot blog”… but these aren’t even the worst.

The ones that really take my wind are the ones who are convinced that they are “Christians” - but in fact make hypocrites our of those of us who do earnestly seek God by making a mockery of his grace ..

..And I love all of them STILL - Because I BELIEVE HE LOVES ALL OF THEM STILL…

When Christ died , he did so for ALL - even those who spat in his face… Not so they could continue to do so - but so that someday ,something may be said or done that would change their heart… and the “Angry heart” may be silenced and the “Honest Heart “ may be heard…

But I cant convince anyone of anything - no one can. They must convince themselves..

And when they do , I will be here looking for them - because I “GO”…. because I Believe…. STILL.

The Invitation to Study the Bible is STILL open… ;)

Read Mathew 5:44 and Romans 12:14-21
