They sit around and argue about who is wrong when nobody understands what’s right.  The truth has become some mobile device, redefined by circumstance, personality or need.  What of the foundation upon which we have constructed our framework, have we abandoned that solid rock for loose soil and miry clay?  Wasting time, money, energy and potential driving home points while the bolts of the framework have loosened and soon to fall apart.  This person, that person claims to be the expert while their families make fools of themselves with this sin or that unjust pursuit.  Please don’t tell me anything that disagrees with God, because we’ve seen it all acted out before over many thousand years.  When will we depart from this frivolous pursuit of unproven theory and return to the certain and secure blessings of Godly Worship.

See leadership isn’t speaking or ideas or some dance.  It’s not fancy or prestigious and it seldom serves romantic ideals.  Doing the right thing requires no slogan, no fan club, no exploratory committee, it just requires courage and the will to stand up against all influences to get something done.  Everyone wants authenticity, yet they attack those with the faith that it requires to remain authentic.  Authenticity is believing in something to the point where you will suffer the critics in serving that ideal.  Saying what you will do and then doing it or not saying those things which you cannot or will not commit to completing are evidence of authenticity.  We may not agree with our current direction, especially from our leadership, but they truly believe in what they are trying to do, so by nature they are authentic.  That is why the youth vote for them, because people desperately want leadership, so they follow those few who are absolutely determined to serve those ideals to which they are committed.  We as Christians have departed from a commitment to the Absolute Truth of God’s Word and therefore have been malleable, unsure of our direction, course or speed.  This breads a contempt for Christians as we are labeled, rightfully, “hypocrites”.   We must remember that Jesus demonstrated repeated contempt for hypocrites.  Why then would we ever believe that people would want to join us in that venture?

You ever notice how it takes one man or woman to stand up and start working and rapidly others join in.  Sure some decide they don’t want to participate, others stand there and criticize, but if you stand your ground and continue doing the work then eventually all the naysayers find a seat back on their shadowed couch.  One woman committed to authentic prayer, humbling herself in relationship with God, will set the armies to marching and change the world.  We as Christians, “who call ourselves by His name”, will continue to lose ground until we return to the absolute commitment it requires to serve God.  If you don’t believe it then don’t wear the tee-shirt.  If you aren’t willing to stand upon the solid rock of Jesus Christ, then accept that you will be blown about by the winds of whim and the rolling waves of popular discourse.  The evil are committed to ruling all that they see and coveting all that they may possess.  If we do not stand then we have already fallen.

Praise You Father for Your Mercy, Grace and Glory.  I cannot comprehend Your depth, but I can see that it is right and wise to follow You and write Your Word upon my heart.  In Jesus Name.
