Hey, Friend!

"Everything ... needs to be weighed."

From your lips to God's ears... You know, "The unexamined life..." and all...

Bad Quaker, Strike the Root, etc... many good efforts toward changing minds and hearts. Sadly, we are all so mired in our upbringing, dragged down by our past, indoctrinated by and steeped in the culture we've been raised in. I call it "living in Babylon." We can't help but become damaged, and it takes ever so long to unlearn all the bad stuff... It's discouraging when I consider how long it's taken me to get to my present level of clarity, and I'm still finding myself needing to unlearn things...

As in Jesus' own day, the penchant of virtually all "church leaders" to—in actual practice—elevate canons, creeds, catechisms, and tradition above the very Word of God is utterly destructive and detrimental to the advance of the Kingdom of God in this world.

The start of what promises to be an outstanding series from The Bible Project makes it quite plain that The Kingdom of Jesus/God is not only an egregiously downplayed and now missing component of the true gospel (good news), but is what King Jesus intends us to make absolutely central to our lives and motivations.

Thanks for reading and engaging!🙏😄
