​83. A Love That Spilt Blood

Stop. We all just need to stop.

Here we are turning Christianity into an idolized cluster, a feelings-based reaction to poor choices made in the name of Jesus over the years.

We progress because we’ve regressed for so long.

Instead? We need to dig into Scripture and not the interpretations of anyone else. We need to see the complete story of God desiring to live among a sinful people again, how He dwelt in the temple to be among us even though we shamefully denied Him that glorious opportunity. How He came down as a temple in the flesh and was crucified for our heinous thoughts and actions and paid our debt so that we could be with Him for eternity.

How we are now temples of the Holy Spirit, and He is the cornerstone, the very foundation of what’s being built here on earth: the Church, the body of believers.

So we need to stop the circus acts, the big name book deals, the name it and claim it theologies, the spiritual degeneration that either hates you or loves you depending on what day it is.

All we need is the truth of Christ and a love that spilt blood for the renewal of the world.
