Salt and Light: Paradigm Shift for the Church

 


The Church was suppose to be “Salt and Light,” to the world. We were suppose to be beacons of the Jesus who lives in us; we were suppose to add His savoriness to this world. However, we have failed. We have preached the gospel, but our salt is no longer useful, “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.” (Matthew 5:13). We have lost our savoriness through sexual scandals, selling out to Mammon (god of money), and Seeker Friendly appetites rather than spreading God’s presence, power, pledge of salvation, and peace.  The ecclesia is anemic, and impotent, raising up bowls of salt that has gone bad and dancing to a beat that has stopped. Did we think our Lord would let us continue to be lukewarm, and bad salt forever? 


The Church is a ruin. My eyes are now set only on the Kingdom of Heaven that our Lord Jesus preached far more than the one time he used the word church “on this rock I will build my church.” (Matthew 16:18). I prefer the Kingdom that our Lord instituted, that is here, near, and coming on the Clouds with Christ. A Kingdom that cannot be shaken, a Kingdom God rules and reigns instead of political polities of man called the church. I am tired of man’s ways which have led Christ’s church into ruination. I choose now to pray “Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done.” (Matthew 6:10) I want the God Man (Jesus) to take the wheel and lead us into a better kingdom. I still believe we are The Church, but I have no interest in building up its harlot copies that raise up crosses and ask for donations, or pretend to care about the misfortunes

of others when in reality is great optics to win them more converts who will ensure a steady stream of tithes and revenue. I am done with the political church, I want The Kingdom of Heaven. A kingdom run by God who is Good and who only can do what is best and who is sincere, genuine, and has not an ouch of hypocrisy in Him. It is finished.. I say let the political church, the Church of Power, The Church of Mammon and Hypocrisy die. Amen.

The Potrait of Jesus: What Christ Looked Like

What was Jesus’s appearance? Pseudo-historians at National Geographic and other publications argue that Jesus’ humanity was of Arab or African descent. This is impossible because Jesus our God was Son of David according to His flesh, “He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh, and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord (God),” (Romans 1:2-4), and King David was described as the following, “So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy [red, ruddy, from the word admowniy {ad-mo-nee'}; from 'adam ; reddish of the hair or the complexion red, ruddy], with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the LORD said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is he. So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came ...

Dispensationalism

John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) was a man who did two things, he took 70th week of the Book of Daniel and stretched out to the End Times, and he was the father of  Dispensationalism , a belief system that God dispenses different peoples with separate blessings and covenants. According to Darb'ys doctrine of Dispensationalism, God dispenses different covenants. There are total of seven dispensations that divide the history of man: I. Dispensation of Innocence (prior to the Fall, "Do not east of the Fruit of Good and Eve, Eden), II. Dispensation of Conscience ( You must assuage guilt and sin with blood sacrifices.) III. Dispensation of Human Government (Multiply and Subdue the world, example the Tower of Babel Gen 11:1-9, and Genesis 1:28). IV. Dispensation of the Promise (Dwell in Canaan, Jerusalem) V. Dispensation of the Law ("Obey the Law of Moses and the Prophets"). VI. Dispensation of Grace (The Church, Jesus Christ has come...

Orthodox Christianity and Messianic Judaism

There is a divide between the two sides of Christianity. One is lined by a rosary, the other with tallit (prayer shawl). In the west we tend to come from a Greco-Roman understanding of The Bible and Jesus Christ. We are saturated with images of the Crucifixion and see through the red lens of Calvary. Now The Messianic or Jewish perspective is becoming more prevalent as people begin to study the roots of the Christian faith. After all, Jesus was a Jew and his Twelve Disciples were all Jews of different sects and positions in society. By studying the Jewish roots of Jesus we come to understand the ancient customs, practices, rites, and traditions that are featured in the Old and New Testaments. We learn in Jewish tradition that a Rabbi had to be ordained by two rabbis and that when Jesus was asked, "by who's authority do you say these things?, (Luke 20:2)" the Pharisees were asking who had ordained Jesus and where he got his yoke (teachings), and Jesus responds, "wh...
