Epochalypsis: The Age of Unveiling
Embrace God's Radical Grace and Transform the World!
Isn’t it fascinating how the man that said he had come to serve us, not for us to serve him, is now the one who some believers demand be served?
God is a god of love and service. God would literally do anything for us, even die for us. No hyperbole, no melodramatic phrasing: God would die for us if it would help us.
And he did. And it did help us.
Upfront honesty and humility is the most economic path to true relationships, and authentic relationships are the bedrock to a deep sense of community, and a deep sense of community is the foundation of the Kingdom of God on Earth.
It’s passages like John 10:9 and John 14:6 that have convinced millions of Christians that the only way to be saved is to “believe” in Jesus Christ.
But what if these passages have been watered down, even misused? What if what is being communicated is so much more than a simple “requirement of belief”?
We have abandoned the true might of community for the false security of personal greed. We have convinced ourselves that God rewards the righteous with wealth and power, and punishes the “losers” with misfortune. We willfully ignore the bible’s dire warnings about God’s true compassion towards “the fallen vs. the mighty”:
Exodus 2
24. God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
25. God looked upon the Israelites, and God took notice of them.
God did what? God remembered… implying God FORGOT???
