Holy Anger!
Latey i have been having alot of Questions on the things that really matter in life and have been following Gods lead on what he says in His word. and going to Him first for His opinion on how this body of believers is supose to function . When I read how the early church gave till it hurt or how they uplifted eachother and depended on oneanother to get through hard times . Even a step further to reach out to a community they didnt even know to show Gods love , it breaks my heart to see discord among fellow Christians we are the branches of this lovely community and we need to get back to working together and depending on each other through Christ amazing love!!! We serve an awesome God ,Let Him move you to not settle for a mediocre halfhearted Christian life . Read the Book of Acts and see how these men and women put it all on the line for Jesus they got it .
What is, therefore, our task today? Shall I answer: “Faith, hope and love”? That sounds beautiful. But I would say – courage. No, even that is not challenging enough to be the whole truth.
Our task today is recklessness.
For what we Christians lack is not psychology or literature…we lack a holy rage – the recklessness which comes from the knowledge of God and humanity.
The ability to rage when justice lies prostrate on the streets, and when the lie rages across the face of the earth…a holy anger about the things that are wrong in the world.
To rage against the ravaging of God’s earth, and the destruction of God’s world.
To rage when little children must die of hunger when the tables of the rich are sagging with food.
To rage at the senseless killing of so many,.
To rage at the lie that calls the threat of death and the strategy of destruction peace.
To rage against complacency. To restlessly seek that recklessness that will challenge and seek to change human history until it conforms to the norms of the Kingdom of God.
