Be Holy

More than the world needs the followers of Jesus to be cool, hip, trendy, or relevant, it needs us to be a holy people. It needs us to be holy men and holy women. The phrase "meet them where they are at" is often used as an excuse to bypass holiness, but in reality, most honest people will admit that they are not completely satified with their lives where they are at. These people are not looking for a manager, a marketer, or a cool person, they are looking for a "holy man/woman" or a "man/woman of God" The questions these people are asking are not, "Are you cool?" or "Are you clever?", but "Can you help me to find the Divine?", "Can you help me find meaning in life?", "Can you help me make sense of all the suffering and evil in the world?" More than this world needs us to know all the cool songs, be good at sports, be good orators, or be good leaders, it needs us to be a people who show them true love, redemption, a new way to be human, and the beauty of Jesus Christ, the Son of God....teacher, man, God, king, social activist, contemplative, healer, miracle worker, theologian, partier, savior, sacrafice, high priest, ascended, and returning.

Come soon Lord Jesus.
