In Quietness And Confidence...
Being angry about injustice is at the heart of The Good News. Gigantic cons portrayed as tragedies – I contend – opposed by community journos and comment-ators. Today's voices in the wilderness.
Few traditional and/or feisty believers in Jesus yet, these rant and rage-ers serve the Kingdom – the God-realm on earth – fulfilling; Break up your unploughed ground and do not sow among thorns.
Where whosoever fit/called, can sow into, through prayer/prophecy with the Word – without so much of the life knocked out, through the deceitfulness of wealth and cares for other things. The putting off of falsehoods and devices to deceive. Awakening-up.
Not so bowing to our Caesars, the religio – and, “you may have your Christ but must go-along with ours”.
We see the clothes of illusion. We're the screaming lad or lass in the crowd but sadly, masses-upon-masses, blind-ead. Told certain suits and skirts are all-sincere. By royal decree. Seems to do?
The 'wealth' of fed-understanding: Most foundational of T.V. based-claims, more not less, defunkt of sufficient details. Ours is, the age of missing information – in the overload, yes, but primary disclosure withheld, is missing from the puzzled.
Drama tells-us that the 'detective's job to speculate' (taken from a TV show pretended to watch last night) and yet – same show – 'the secret state they don't fight fair'. These and novels, movies etc, are like sermons. A global psycho-ritual to have us disconnect. Disassociate fact from fiction.
Children playing adults, playing children, playing adults.
(From a comment I made yesterday; 'How come T.V. Drama is dominated with crime-scene escapades and who-did-what details? When comes to ones thrown at us from the streets? Non-Fiction(?). “Happens-how?” – gets a quick synopsis and off we go… on to the consequences.' // While I'm at it, here's another one not unrelated, in talking about what backstage and after-hours might look like, for those paid to most 'represent' us?)
Evidence adequately demonstrates fiction is being foisted on us as 'news'. Specific and measurable without any reasonable doubt – false to fake.
But this takes a hunger and courage to look. Try-questioning the 'dominate narrative of the day' which Walter Brueggemann promotes the need for, 'the counter script the Gospel offers'?
No revelation and we perish-along. Faith in the gods. Eyes on sacrifices and spectacles – rituals by those in corridors and board-rooms. Numbering and naming in their donkey-esoterics.
Leaving inadequate highways for the Gospel. For God. (Now see why we've the reversal of a revival).
Because we believe such in the idolatry and these human assert-themselves, masters, couldn't be this taken by lies? But 'they' watch the same 'box-sets', they drink the same kool-poison. No surprise they dance along? Give us enough pretend-power and fake-wealth: What would we do?
Best close for this morn.
This verse today, in our Isaiah war-manual of readings I have thoughts-on about: Our cult of normalise and calm along… in the name of this verse.
And think, getting closer I believe, to sussing the place of 'fate'. Clue? – unseen and unwanted; not what they know or not, believe or not, but how about confused in their unknowing about?
Bit from earlier in the write – got lost in layout, leave be:
Outsiders through quirky websites. Divergent and in a limited convergence. Undisciplined and often uncaring. A thrashing outburst, summed-up in Peter Finch's; "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore”.
We need those who feel strongly this is all conspiracy crud, challenge these 'new-protest-ants' who perpetrate these doubts, through to claiming counter-establishment exposure of lies.
Write-up now/comment below? – Or ask yourself, “what have I inadvertently affirmed?”
Justice has a gap; Those – whatever else believing – calling foundational crimes, most-often a most agonising scam. Publicly assumed news-stories becoming wreckage on the highway, held-up as credible reporting of facts.
And – “move-on and take at word/matter something-else/perspectives other/bother not… now”.
Contemporary religious opposition to relative liberation from social oppression is rooted in the unseen. What we believe proceeds action. What we believe is most important to the figure portrayed in the Bible who asked God in humankind, to believe this and that, and lies-about 'kingdoms owned'. To be given… “If”…
Nonsense.
Jesus' justice begins with knowing what needs balancing out in relative accuracy. The ground we're seeding into. If we believe, the 'crowds spontaneously called for Barabbas' we fail to understand the Gospel.
Fowls of the heavens they're crowd-whipping maniacs that must be exorcised or else..?
Step one. Read the left-out and yet by grace, mercy, and the war on and by the saints is still light-there
Read THE news. The Isaiah-like couldn't get through-to. The 'links' on this screen sit waiting.
