You can love a monster
You can have butterflies for someone that is a “winch”
Your palms can get sweaty for a potential “wife beater”
You can have crazy chemistry for a narcissist
Never trust just your emotions or feelings
Trust God!

SONS OR PERSONALITY CULTS?
One of the greatest burdens upon the heart of GOD in this generation is not the absence of fathers; it is the abundance of counterfeit sons. We have produced a generation that knows how to orbit around men but has never learned to bow before GOD.
Many know the vocabulary of sonship but remain strangers to the Cross. They celebrate fathers with a zeal they have never reserved for CHRIST.
They defend ministries more passionately than they defend the Truth. They quote fathers more than they search the Scriptures.
This is not sonship. This is idolatry.
Hear me carefully.
The purpose of spiritual fatherhood is not to gather worshippers around a man. The purpose of spiritual fatherhood is to raise worshippers unto GOD.
Every father who truly carries Heaven's burden is laboring to disappear into CHRIST. Like John the Baptist, his cry is, "HE must increase, but I must decrease."
The day a son becomes more conscious of a man than of GOD, corruption has entered the relationship.
The day access to a father excites you more than access to the GOD, your altar has shifted.
The day your greatest fear is disappointing a man rather than grieving the HOLY SPIRIT, your worship has been misplaced. That is not honor. That is misplaced devotion.
True sons are first slain by GOD before they are sent to fathers.
They have met the Cross before they met the man. They have surrendered to CHRIST before they submitted to authority, because no man has the right to occupy the throne that belongs to the SON OF GOD.
A true son cannot be manipulated by charisma. He cannot be intoxicated by proximity. He cannot be bribed with recognition. He cannot be seduced by access. His heart has already been captured by CHRIST.
He does not follow a father because of his personality. He follows because he has discerned grace. And even that grace is judged by the infallible authority of Scripture.
A son is dangerous to the kingdom of darkness because he is impossible to corrupt. Correction does not make him bitter. Delay does not make him ambitious. Obscurity does not make him restless.
He has died to the craving for significance. He seeks only that CHRIST be formed in him. A true son never competes for position. He trembles more at losing purity than at losing prominence.
Sons carry burdens. Hirelings carry opinions.
And hear this:
If your loyalty to a father can make you compromise the Word of GOD, you are not loyal. You are enslaved.
If your honor for a vessel prevents you from obeying CHRIST, you are not honoring. You are worshipping the flesh.
If you cannot test every voice by Scripture because of who spoke it, you have already abandoned the Berean spirit.
True fathers are not raising men who need them forever. They are raising men who know GOD for themselves.
If you must know, the greatest success of a father is not the size of his following. It is the measure of CHRIST formed within his sons.
May GOD deliver the Church from celebrity discipleship. May HE destroy every altar of personality worship. May HE raise sons who cannot be bought.
May HE raise sons whose eyes are too full of CHRIST to idolize men. For every true father is only a signpost. The destination has always been CHRIST.
The voice has never been the Bridegroom. It has always been the friend of the Bridegroom. And when the Bridegroom appears...
Every true son knows where to look.

It is absolutely impossible to live as salt and light in the present world when we see the world as glorious, bright, homely and lovely.
We cannot impact a world that we envy and admire.
We cannot save a world that we perceive as "blessed" and "successful".
Pride has a stench.
Perceived often by those around us but often undetected by our selfish hearts.
God keeps a man humble by helping Him to keep his gaze on God's glory.
If we behold God more often, we will be meek and lowly in heart.
If we remain selfish and self- centered, our pride will blind us to our own arrogance until it leads to a great destruction.
Joseph of Arimathea was a secret disciple. Rich and powerful but afraid.
Then Christ died on that cross and something broke in him.
He went to Pilate. Asked for the body. Wrapped it in linen and laid it in his own new tomb.
Isaiah wrote it 700 years earlier. "He made his grave with the rich."
Joseph fulfilled prophecy and never knew it.

Aura, Skills, Vibes, and Aesthetics are all now common in ministry.
It's integrity, faithfulness, and selflessness that are the scarce gems.
If you add the latter, then you may become very useful to God.
If you chase only the former, you'll become useful to Satan.
