I’ve been on a vacation of sorts but I am still writing; its just I’m not at peace to publish what I’m producing. I’m learning even though being strongly motivated is a good position from which to to write, it may not necessarily be wise to share the document immediately or even ever. So I’ve been working tediously on several documents and I hear God saying “not yet, maybe never.” At first I was a trifle upset because like any creative person, I too get a rush from writing and even more when allowed to share it. But when God distinctly says “NO,” well, I try to obey. Already I realized the one document was strictly for my own maturity and to give me clarity on my position in political posturing, which is increasingly difficult to discern whether locally or nationally. In fact, the premise that personal reflective and expressive writing is psychologically healthy is the bottom line for much of Dr Jordan Peterson’s writings and speaking culminating in his recent book “12 Rules For Life” that I’ve not read yet.
So this post may well be my shortest to date. Instead of me writing, I am compelled to share a YouTube clip with you that I find quite disruptive to my sedentary form of Christianity. As I said to someone today, this 70 minute clip from a Fri AM worship service is likely one of the most interesting, complete, concise and accurate theological presentations of Jesus’s ministry I ever recall. Invest 70 minutes to listen and share your insights with your closest spiritual partner. And you should know his identity in Christ is being and serving as a “militant peacemaker.” For real! He challenges more than a few of our sacred cows throughout this clip as did Jesus during his ministry. The account’s final triumphant scene over Satan in the courtroom near the end puts all in perspective for me.
Because of the compelling message of this clip, I reactivated several of you who had over the past year “unsubscribed,” so forgive me if I offended you with this timely clip considering our media chaos. Rest assured, your unsubscribed status will be restored immediately after this post.
Blessings as you GO FORTH WITH A NEW VISION OF JESUS AND YOUR IDENTITY IN HIM….. Merlin
