​84. A Very Dark Void

Some people are so good at playing religion.

It makes you wonder the type of evil one needs to plant to use Scripture as a weapon.

Satan has used the art of the denomination to shackle people for so long that we confuse little “c” church for the real deal.

No amount of potlucks and pie raffles will make it so.

Big “C” Church are the people who are slaves to Christ. Their blood belongs to Jesus. They’re sharp and cunning as serpents and peaceful as doves. They don’t play into fake niceties but gently show you truth because the very dust you’re made of means everything to them.

You are a child of God in their eyes. And no amount of abuse you heap on them will make them stray from that thought.

You can imagine how difficult being a true follower really is.

Daily repentance, a stacking up of sins. Prayers for constant renewal, a strict reliance on Jesus.

He truly is the breath in our lungs, the force holding up our wings.

And I have nothing against pies or potlucks. But I have everything against hypocrisy.

If you’re not meant to be here, don’t be. Or, the better option: humble that heart of yours in the presence of our Lord because one day it will cease to beat, and you’ll either hear the sound of His beautiful voice.

Or the sound of a very dark void.
