The Song Of The Anti-Christ OR...
(Update: BOY these posts are on the decline, pretty rubbish and less than satisfactory. Won't delete, that's too precious).
Often wonder why so few 'all for Jesus' aren't into facing the deeper realities presented on, say; The News at Six?
Here be where taunting scams and sheer demonic utterance is breathtaking. Where it's evident and darkness feels the need to push, push and push and more, more, more. To have as many can, sing-up the song of the anti-Christ.
OR... we express, truth, love and God.
What side are we on?
And note the connection and worship. How vocal expression's commended and God, while this a mocking co-opted version.
Note the projection desired: We Speak Stuff Out. The need to counter it with the right stuff. We input and we output. Question is what?
So sung-worship to God must be the one giant antidote to hell's attempts to overcome us.
A big healthy move is we sing in a direction to God and read aloud Bible verses.
Quiet adherence and compliance aren't enough for the enemy. Their root desires revealed in and titled; 'Jesus temptations in the wilderness'.
The central-squad sick crap is via the idol's choirmasters. The TV anchor-people with lie-along-ers on hand to further spew out the facade in dark unison.
Knowing plenty but get paid so well and so best shut-it-up. Believing in deniable plausibility bullshit.
"Not down to little ol'me".
Yet, easy for me to say this and not in their tempting to compromise-along shoes. Not on a path where the little give-ways, gave way, to down the line bangers. Riding on and moving into full-on cult affiliate membership.
This said, we off or on TV-taking-in and cannot or at least mustn't pretend otherwise. Here is more deception and the fuel for the coming emergencies and lock-down.
The grand fooling is out there and an open secret. All awaiting anyone who cares enough about God's love and humanity. To stuff all else and scream care-not what -- "the abuse must stop".
Hats off to Owen Benjamin and care-not-self. There's abundant and radiant life in this man's death to sin.
Thousands upon... at some senior level, forced/blackmailed/in a cynical lostness/dead-inside -- done over.
Mass upon masses suck in the stupidity and/or assume, it doesn't matter. Can't do anything much so, "give up the wailing and banging on".
Men -- and women -- without, chests.
For Christians, it should a given. It's called good news. The bad news is this. Oh yeah, there's eternal perspectives but READ what Jesus said. How can we say it 'doesn't matter... that, much'?
(A sidebar: Went to see what's doing on 'Mind Renewed' at the exceptional among Church output: Julain has the latest update. Surely respect and listen).
In early church times, the comparison was about bowing to an emperor. Told; Can believe all we like, only confess the religion of the state. In our day this is clearly defined as getting behind the leaders of the land and their 'war on... terror'.
Oh, of course, and '...drugs' while increasing so we can add, "those nasty people who say hateful things and hurt others".
It's the mussies, the far-right... etc. There are other cop-out shallow rejections. Not though and never adult engagement. And on and on. The piper wind-up.
Scratch the flimsiest of surfaces, pay a modicum of attention and exercise common sense.
'Terror' -- in the contemporary setting -- and delivery of 'drugs' are the enterprise of rogues and the state. Not difficult to discover. Not talking the need to dig into the long and detailed commentary.
Silly stuff. Hights of the stupidity is when the word 'terrorist' or 'mass shooter' and attack come up.
Avoidance is stark and extreme. What are the reasons eh?
Not as though waking to dubbed, 'conspiracy' and 'theories' clashing with theology. At least, shouldn't do. Not the primary ones.
Unless including secondary issues as being the be-all and dismiss all but those in a tight clan. Threatened by material evidence challenging held-visions.
One biggie is Cristian Zionism. Get adherence here, might be an upsetter. Be this honest and consider Israel's below the surface actions. Squaring thus, with this, etc.
While 'progressives' tend to be ex-capital E-vangelicals and all a bit on a 'socialist equals Jesus' appeal. As with most non-Christian comrades, there's obvious understanding and why the reluctance.
(Not here and time to explain -- keeping posts one-hit and time based to complete. One cheeky dig: 'History')
Evangelical is a baseline. The final reduced fellowship and should be unity. Having said this --- more cheeky digs.
The somewhat head-above awake and what ought to be primary:
'Conversionism: the belief that lives need to be transformed through a “born-again” experience and a life long process of following Jesus
Activism: the expression and demonstration of the gospel in missionary and social reform efforts
Biblicism: a high regard for and obedience to the Bible as the ultimate authority
Crucicentrism: a stress on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross as making possible the redemption of humanity'
C/o David Bebbington.
A final word in this maddish splurge. Don't get all in-with-my lot Christian take. Get over it. Go Christ and be as one and as far as poss.
It's a battle, not a beauty contest.
Be blessed and a best we do is sing up to God.
