This letter is written to alot of different types of people. Mostly to people who see, or are starting to see, the false reality within the all powerful church matrix. The following ideas are not for people suffering from severe emotional or brain disorders, from frequent flash backs from their L.S.D. days, who are weak or immature in the faith, who have no discipline or moderation in their life, or who are just plain stinky to be around! But, if you love Jesus and these words give you butterflies of excitement and a fire in your bones, then it might be for you!!!!
We have a theory, not a prophecy, that this new "Jesus People" movement will be similar to the 60's era in more ways than just weird looking people(or not), but with the revolting, protesting element that the protestants have forgotten! Just imagine...Sunday morning service: as the worship ends and the "pastor" is about to give his message, YOU and a large group of friends walk up on the platform and handcuff yourselves to the stage! All chained together with big picket signs, saying things like,"DON'T WORRY,WE'RE ANOINTED" or "QUESTION CHURCH AUTHORITY".No one is to say a word, just sit there. If the curch staff is really smart they will ignore you and go on with the service. That's when PLAN B starts!! Each person is equipped with canned boat horns. They proceed to toot their horns,one at a time in a continuously irritating stream. The cops come, drag you out and issue you a warning or at best a small misdemeanor. NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A CHURCH SERVICE!!!!
For a less risky approach, I've invented what I call a " Remote Controlled Sound Bomb". A remote controlled device is wired to a canned boat horn,which is hidden in a bag or purse. Go to church and place the bag near the front platform out of sight. When the minister begins to speak(maybe on tithing to his church or something) push your remote button and get ready for side aching enjoyment!!! Even better yet get someone to video tape it for hours of entertainment!...Does this excite you?? Could life really be this fun?
Let's look at Jesus,our Lord and Savior..(and please read this slowly) "and having made a whip of cords,He drove them all out of the temple enclosure- both the sheep and the oxen- spilling and scattering the broker's money and upsetting and tossing around their stands." It's interesting to me that Jesus didn't go into some blind rage and just grab a whip lying around. But, He took the time to sit down and MAKE a whip. Nowadays,that would be considered premeditated whip making! Very strange..Let's read another passage. (read this slow too) Jesus said, "The Son of Man came eating and drinking with others, and they say,'Behold a glutton and a wine drinker, a friend of tax collectors and especially wicked sinners!' Yet wisdom is justified and vindicated by her deeds and by her children."
Just think of it, Jesus, our mentor, the guy we're suppose to pattern our life after, hanging out and drinking alcoholic beverages with non-christians! How would we react to this today? Not to mention how he made about 150 gallons of real, live wine for that wedding. Oh,and also calling church leaders snakes, or a pit of snakes, nicely painted graves and other unusual things.
To me Jesus is giving an example of a lifestyle. He's showing a relaxed lifestyle, one of enjoyment, moderation and love. He's saying, love people and enjoy life with them, be with them during their hard times and don't be so untouchable that they can't reach you. You've got to be real, and make the christian life tangible to them. People aren't going to get saved by seeing how holy you are, but that you're real and that you love. That's why Jesus says"yet wisdom is justified and vindicated by her deeds and by her children". He's saying, My lifestyle of freedom and real love brings real acts of kindness and real children, because it's done not out of duty. |
