✍🏽 Somewhere between “doing church” and “being Christ,” we lost the plot and the light.
This week’s reflection isn’t for the faint of faith.
It’s a gentle re-mind-er (and re-flect-ion) to Go(ye) beyond comfort, beyond cool, beyond churchian performance.
Because salt doesn’t apologize for being salty,
and light doesn’t dim to be polite. 💡✨
Read on. Reflect deep.
And maybe, just maybe ~ shine louder.
Go Ye
The instruction was clear.
When the Father said, “Go ye,” He didn’t add, “when convenient,” or “once the Wi-Fi is strong.”
The interpretation may be subjective but the instruction is unchanging, regardless of our personal biases, personalities, culture, upbringing, nature, nurture and every excuse in the books.
Yet here we are …
A world of politically correct Christians,
where being liked matters more than being light.
Funny thing though: on social-media streets, everyone’s a “God lover” or “child of grace.”
(End-times LinkedIn bio, anyone?)
When I was growing up, people struggled to identify with the Church or with God.
Now? Being churchian is cool. Needless to say, times have changed.
#Times #Seasons #Ceasings
But here’s the crux and the CROSS of the matter:
We were called to follow Christ,
not the Church,
not the crowd,
and definitely not the charismatic personality behind the pulpit.
You can’t be a Follower of Christ and not reflect Him.
As salt and light, our influence is imminent,
our impact inevitable.
It’s spiritual physics.
When Moses went up the mountain,
he came down glow-rious.
The Israelites couldn’t even look at him.
bruh, he literally wore light.
That’s what happens when you encounter God : )
He leaves evidence on your face.
You shine what you’ve seen.
So when people say,
“This is who I am,” or
“That’s just how I am,”
I often wonder … … …
Who defined that “I”?
Because if blind Bartimaeus hadn’t found his shout,
he’d have stayed blind. I digress.
But do I, really?
Maybe I’m just tired.
Tired of Christians trying to make the Gospel digestible
instead of transformational.
The Bible is true.
Let every trending opinion be a liar.
If I were to express it logically:
If Christian → you are salt + light.
If light → shine.
If salt → season.
Therefore, it’s impossible to be politically correct and spiritually connected at the same time.
The fruit of the Spirit isn’t optional produce. It is proof. Evidence (cue music)
The works of the flesh aren’t random flaws. They are red flags.
So as we Go(ye) into another week :
a little less filtered,
a little more faithful
