The Season

I told my friend Dennis that I was in a season of waiting, of depending on supernatural patience.
I am glad he asked how I was, because I had not articulated that answer before he asked.

This could last until the Day of Christ. I want so much for it to be about me and about fulfilling my destiny and calling.

But at the same time I am convinced that waiting on The Lord is my destiny and calling. One thing is certain. And that is that there is only one thing worth investing a life in. The rest is details.

I am reading Atlas Shrugged. So sad, so far.

It would be easy to make real change. Maybe I will just buy great socks. Can't I have comfortable feet while I wait on The Kingdom?

There was conversation today about physical survival when the veneer of civilization crumbles. My question is What will survive the fire of the presence of a HOly God?
Maybe the post apocalypse films are interesting because we all know that this state of life can not continue, and that there is something very big coming. It is just that no one wants to grab onto the truth that what is coming is the Kingdom.

Aching for the Kingdom of Christ, Father. Aching for your majesty, your love to be manifest. All of us aching for your embrace. or terrified of it.

Convinced

I am convinced that the Holy Spirit is involved in this trip report. This life of faith is supposed to look, sound, smell and feel different. The Holy Ghost stirs people up, makes them see themselves in the light of holiness. If it was a human thing, a part any human religion, nothing would get stirred. There would always be a human path to compromise.

Jesus never is about compromise. He is about uncompromising holiness making a way for uncompromising wickedness to be completely forgiven. That is stirring stuff up. That is open warfare against all that opposes the will of God.

So if Christianity makes people uncomfortable, it is because it is supposed to.

Father, thank you that you are not an ordinary god.
