The main thing on my mind, heart and spirit right now is this: we can chat here all we want about Yeshua the messiah, about our actions still mattering even though there is grace in messiah, about any number of messianic-related topics.
But it’s like I’ve told the bar- and bat-mitzvah kids I’ve been teaching: unless you start allowing what you’re learning here to make a difference in how you live, it’s all nothing more than a big waste of time.
Ask anyone in drug rehab. You could have the best doctors in the world, and unless a patient wants to stop drinking and using drugs, it’s all a waste of time.
Same thing with religion. Too many of us go only because we have this vague feeling that it’s good for us and it’s what we’re supposed to do to get into heaven.
But unless we start practicing what we believe, living it out instead of letting our flesh rule our actions, it’s all wasted time. We’d be better off watching Saturday Morning cartoons.
Food for thought… and action.
