Listen. Think. Question. Learn. Respond.

Why does God even want worship? Isn’t that… needy? I was rewatching The Chosen weeks ago, the scene with the Samaritan woman and that question wouldn’t leave me alone. Jesus says, “The Father is seeking those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth.” It hit me harder than usual. Almost made me teary.

And then an intrusive thought slid in: Why does He care so much about worship?
So I sat with it. And slowly, something started to untangle.
We live in a world obsessed with creators and ownership. Artists sign their paintings. Musicians copyright their songs. Companies defend their patents. Architects protect their signature designs. Not because they’re insecure. Because authorship matters.
We instinctively know that to erase an author’s name from their work is wrong, and to twist their creation beyond recognition is violation.
That clicked for me.

If flawed humans protect the integrity of what they make… how much more would the God who authored galaxies guard His?
Reality itself is His masterpiece. Every law of physics, every spark of beauty, every heartbeat, signed, authored, claimed.
So when Scripture calls God jealous, it’s not describing a fragile deity craving applause. It’s describing a Creator who refuses to let His signature be erased from what He made.
Not insecurity, integrity. Not ego, essence.
He is jealous for us, not of us. Because when creation forgets its Creator, everything breaks. Meaning unravels. Purpose distorts. Worship misfires.
God’s “jealousy” isn’t about Him needing attention. It’s about Him refusing to let us live on lies. He knows that life only works when it aligns with Truth. And He is that Truth.

So when Jesus says the Father is seeking worshipers, it’s not desperation. It’s love. It’s rescue. It’s the God who authored reality inviting us back into alignment with it.
Divine jealousy isn’t proof of God’s weakness. It’s proof of His love. A love that protects. A love that refuses to hand us over to counterfeits. A love that will not let His creation forget who made it.
The universe is a signed masterpiece. Erase the signature, and you erase meaning itself. God refuses to let that happen. That’s where I landed. And honestly? It made me worship more, not less.

I'm feeling it too.

I hope I'm wrong.

But tonight feels like some sort of invisible line has been crossed that we didn't even know was there. The last time I felt like this was 9/11 when it was clear, without knowing the how and the what, that the world was about to change forever.

Like the rules of the game had been permanently altered and there was simply no going to back to the innocent, peaceful past.

I didn't feel like this when an attempt was made on President Trump's life. If I had to rationalise why I didn't, I guess it's because several US Presidents have been shot at and even assassinated. Somehow it was within the realms of the possible, no matter how awful.

But to murder a young father simply for doing debates and mobilising young people to vote for a party that represents half of America? This is something else.

Charlie's death is a tragedy for his wife, his children and his family. I don't pray often. I am praying for them tonight.

But I fear his murder will be a tragedy for all of us in ways we will only understand as time unfolds.

I hope I'm wrong.

Worship was never meant to look like a concert.
But today’s churches dim the lights, cue the fog, and entertain the goats—while starving the sheep.
We don’t need better production.
We need biblical preaching.

@DudespostingWs It's new life in Jesus Christ. It's the Gospel. It's knowing that there's no way we can save ourselves and instead surrendering to the God of The Universe, who came as a sacrificial Lamb for us. Ephesians 5:8 - Once in darkness, now in light. I pray you know Him.

I believe the Church just has a window of somewhere between two and four years to return to the things that could set the stage for a genuine reformation and revival.

What are those things? There are many, but I have listed seven of the most important that I think are crucial for our time.

We don’t need to get anything through Congress in order to give ourselves to these seven opportunities:

Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.

Sociological studies have found that, compared to the average American family man, devout Christian men who attend church regularly are the most loving husbands and more engaged fathers.

They have the lowest rates of divorce. And astonishingly, they have the lowest rate of domestic violence of any major group in America.

By contrast, nominal Christian men, which means they are not particularly devout and attend church rarely if at all, have the highest rates of divorce and domestic violence—even higher than secular men.

These numbers are staggering: They tell us that men who claim the evangelical label often exhibit worse behavior than men who are outright secular.

Nominal men skew the statistics, creating the false impression that evangelical men as a group are abusive and domineering and divorce more often.

"Finally, the text of the Declaration was submitted to the Holy Father for his review, and he approved it with his signature."

Wait a minute... The Holy Father is GOD. I would love to see God's signature. Oh, or is that supposed to be the Pope claiming the same name as GOD?

I see this in my daughter sometimes, where she inhabits a realm so full of joy and presence that it can only be that she is with angels. Her giggles and far off recognition of the divine is something to behold, and envy.
