A Dead Man Living

Will I die to myself and follow this kamikaze Rabbi? Well, how do you know when you're dead?

Ask yourself this: When was the last time you saw a dead man react to the intentions of the world around him?

A dead person is unresponsive to the ways of the world.

Jesus will bring us to life and when He does, we'll react the way He would react.

We will weep over the things He would weep over.
We will pray the way that He would pray.
We will know the Word the way He knows the Word.
We will turn over tables in temples perverted, because 'Zeal for His house will overcome us.'
We will make our way to our final destination of sacrifice
Carrying the cross that He gave us to bear.

The best part is: We won't have a choice.

The Needy Church

John 2:16-17 "And he told those who sold the pigeons, 'take these things away; do not make my Father's house a house a trade.' His disciples remembered that it was written, 'Zeal for your house will consume me.'

(The Needy Church) *tentative title*


God will never call you to a church to mock it or critique it. God is either calling you to a healthy church to serve, a sick church to help serve it and make it well, or He's not calling you to that church. But He will never call you to a church to critique it and leave it in the same helpless condition in which you came to it.
