When we love our systems more than the Christ we say we serve, we must ask, who is our God? Many worship lesser gods. Some worship what we call evangelicalism—or a certain theological system. Many worship a particular leader.
Trauma brings silence because it feels like there are no words to really describe what happened. Many times people need us to sit with them in silence. It is a way of joining with them so they are not alone in their experience of struggling to find words.
It’s not about the law, it’s about the cruel way it’s being applied.
It’s about selling merch celebrating the “funny” names we’ve given mass detention centers.
It’s about releasing ASMR vids for people who find the sound of immigrants walking in shackles pleasurable.
Let God have the actual glory by keeping our dirty hands off the clock & trust He will accomplish His will in His time - even if it’s long after we are dead & gone.
Life with Jesus lasts forever & forever is in His hands. Trust Him, don’t trust the hype.
#REVIVAL
Friends, as a believer in Christ, please understand we cannot make revival happen. We can pray & prepare, but the power is not ours to grab. If we force the winds of revival, just to say we’re glorifying God’s name, it’s a lie… 🧵
The reality is, we’re hyping ourselves up as masterminds of faith. We are not faithful in creating false revival, we are prideful, manipulative, & controlling. 🧵
A good portion of Christendom today seems to serve their political beliefs. It seems the political system has become so important to us that we act and speak in ungodly ways to protect what we have labeled godly.
Our politics are not our Christ.
@DerwinLGray Did you know that the #1 factor related to addiction, depression, sui€ide, &self destructive behaviors like cu++ing, is disconnection? We’ve sterilized society, when what Jesus did-just like the Gospel- He comes & gives Himself as an offering to connect us to the Father. #wwjd
