We have been freed from this "reprobate" mind, as Paul says, and given the mind of Christ. We have our sanity restored, but we're walking in Bedlam. <br /><br />You talk to a crazy person and what will they tell you? "You just don't understand."mushroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651027035577798096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133335371844144872.post-71140227208050897012014-07-09T15:18:23.903-05:002014-07-09T15:18:23.903-05:00This is one of manyparts of scripture that blows t...This is one of manyparts of scripture that blows the "Christians should be pacifists" argument out of the water!<br /><br />Nice nod to Boondock Saints and apropos, I think.<br /><br />Christians ought to be involved in promoting life, liberty and justice wherever and whenever they can, from politics to social interactions.<br /><br />Too many Christians think that because we answer to God we can and should ignore the world, politics and culture.<br /><br />We are supposed to engage not sit back and hope the enemy finds us last or overlooks us because we do nothing.<br /><br />Christians oughtta be rebels at heart not going along to get along. Or worse, helping the enemy with mindless compassion like the open borders Christians do or the environmental Christians who fail to see it's not about any of that but rather the enemy seizing more power over us.<br /><br />Fort Defiance indeed! <br />USS Ben USN (Ret)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07492369604790651538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133335371844144872.post-51284777330023393632014-07-09T14:17:11.840-05:002014-07-09T14:17:11.840-05:00"Up on the tight rope.

We're always walking the line between humility and false humility, among other things. We know we are so less than perfect ourselves, isn't it presumptuous to tell other people that we have the answer?<br /><br />But we do have the answer, and it really is the truth. <br /><br />So we say to them, "It's not that the truth of the gospel hasn't transformed my life. It's just that I personally am so hosed up you don't want to imagine me as a non-Christian. There's a really good chance that you will not only be a better Christian than I am, it's quite possible that you are better as a heathen than I am as a believer. I had a long way to go."mushroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651027035577798096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133335371844144872.post-60577612078033242362014-07-09T13:45:32.468-05:002014-07-09T13:45:32.468-05:00Sounds like fun.

Where do I sign up?<br /><br />I really despise the wimpy Christian (and I say that as a wimpy Christian).<br /><br />I suppose a good bit of kenosis must occur before attempting to swing the Cluebat of Righteousness. Can't let the fallen man inside swing that bat.<br />Gotta swing it with love.John Lienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02302615225311776021noreply@blogger.com
