Took a break from Instagram for a month and I already hate being back.
It’s amazing how angry the world makes me.
The lack of common sense. The lack of true justice. The lack of caring for things that really matter. How upside everything is.
It’s infuriating, and it’s not Kingdom minded, and all I want to scream from the top of my lungs is that all of this is bullshit and not Jesus minded and we need to get our shit together or the world will. burn. down.
This is not a republican issue. Republicans are corrupt, actionsless and spineless.
This is not a democratic issue. Democrats are corrupt, violent and hypocritical.
We are disgraceful and we need Jesus more than ever.
Aside from the obvious reasons, you wanna know why?
Because Jesus has set standards for living that are good, true and they make wicked, worthless living habits uncomfortable to live with.
You know what the world lives like (in case you’re living under a rock)? Everything is acceptable. Everything should be embraced. Everything should be approved by all.
“Ali, Jesus dined with tax collectors and prostitutes. Lighten up. Jesus accepts all.”
K, bucko. That’s flawed theology.
Jesus accepted PEOPLE. He didn’t accept their behavior. Take the woman at the well.
Jesus accepted her as a soul... a person... a person who desperately needed to be loved.
She was the victim of a racially charged world, and she was a woman in a time when woman were second class citizens. On top of all that, she knew the biblical teachings of that time, and chose to live opposed to them. Remember, she had had 5 husbands, and wasn’t even living with her current husband, but with her boyfriend. She was cast out of the inner circles of her racially marginalized society because she was a whore. Plain and simple.
And Jesus met her, and gave her what she truly needed: an experience with Him.
And what happened? She. Changed. She turned away from her wrong choices and followed Jesus and HIS STANDARDS.
Free living at every whim and want and carnal desire is how societies are destroyed.
Get your face in the word of God and know your Father. I have a gut feeling that those of us who are Jesus followers will answer for our lack of knowledge when we come face to face with the Lord someday.
