It's odd that a religion that carries the cross as its central symbol should produce a culture of people who consider suffering, whether it comes from a broken body or a broken heart, a violation of their spiritual rights.

“LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be” (Ps. 39:4). Beloved, life is SO short. Since “the only thing that counts is faith expressing itself in love” (Gal. 5:6), let’s keep our “to love list” way more prominent than our “to do list.”

I just left the ER.
We are officially back to getting crushed by COVID-19.
Delta Variant is running rampant and it’s MUCH more transmissible than the original virus.
99% of our ICU admits did NOT receive a vaccine.
Virtually ALL of them wish they had.
If you say: I believed in God, I trusted God, and He didn't come through-You only trusted God to meet your agenda, not a God who could set your agenda.
When you say, “I won’t serve you, God, if you don’t give me X,” then X is your true bottom line, your highest love, your real god, the thing you most trust and rest in.
No victim hung they on that tree.
No helpless hand nailed down.
Word Incarnate, outstretched arm,
The brazen altar’s Lamb.
“For this I’ve come,” declared the Son,
Hell wrenched of victory
“If I, yes, I be lifted up,
I’ll draw them all to me.”

Biblical Christianity will seem "centrist" at times because it will critique the ideologies of both the Left and the Right. But it's not politically "centrist." It's politically transcendent. It's a category by itself. It's the ethics of a kingdom that's not of this world.
