We Get Around It

by Aiden Wilson Tozer

The Lordship of Jesus is not quite forgotten among Christians, but it has been relegated to our hymn book, where all responsibility toward it may be comfortably discharged in a glow of pleasant religious emotion. The idea that the Man Christ Jesus has absolute and final authority over all its members in every detail of their lives is simply not accepted as true by the rank and file of evangelical Christians. To avoid the necessity of either obeying or rejecting the plain instruction of our Lord in the New Testament, we take refuge in a liberal interpretation of them. We find ways to avoid the sharp point of obedience, comfort carnality and make the words of Christ of none effect. And the essence of it all is that "Christ simply could not have meant what He said." Dare we admit that His teachings are accepted even theoretically only after they have been weakened by "interpretation"? Dare we confess that even in our public worship, the influence of the Lord is very small? We sing of Him and preach about Him, but He must not interfere!

Everyone wants to be celebrated. No one wants to be relegated.

📢 "We interrupt our regularly scheduled nonsense for this sad announcement from the world of sports"

The inevitable, heavy thud of reality has landed. A spectacular sort of tragedy.

We did our bit. We beat Leeds. The boys actually turned the stadium into a brief, fleeting fortress and took the three points. But football, with its usual brand of clinical irony, looked at our magnificent final-day defiance, smiled politely, and relegated us anyway. The results elsewhere simply didn't smile back.

I am not going to lie. I am profoundly, deeply sad. A glorious fourteen-year run in the Premier League, gone. It feels like watching a prized vase tip off the mantelpiece in slow motion... you know it’s going to shatter, but the sound of it hitting the floor still breaks your heart a little.

But tomorrow is another day, and come August, I’ll be right there again, wrapped in Claret and Blue. Because that’s the beautiful confusion of this sickness we call support. You don't walk away when the sky turns grey.

This club needs a proper, top-to-bottom rebuild. No more papering over the massive cracks with temporary plaster. We need a complete overhaul, starting right at the very top with the board, all the way down to the stewards pacing the gangways. The entire culture needs a reset.

Fortunes always hiding. We’ve looked for them along every road and in every dark corner of Stockley Park this season, but today, they stayed firmly out of sight.

We go again. In the Championship. What a spectacular adventure that’s going to be.

United in grief, united in hope.

⚒️ Massive rebuild required.

⚒️ Always Claret and Blue.

The visitors, whose fate was sealed after failing to pick up a third batting point, continued to frustrate a Durham side desperately seeking points to avoid the same fate.

Commiserations to Luton Town. Would’ve loved them to stay up, but also credit to Forest for staying up despite the Premier League being an absolute disgrace!

Hopefully Luton go up again.
