Re: >>>The Week The Earth Moved Beneath My Feet<<<
IMO,
technology is amplifying the sound of one man's voice by bringing it into contact with far too many people beyond the "1st person" experience.
I do not believe that there is any more (or any less) human politic being sown in God's field than always has been.
God's wisdom has established usefulness in tares. By providing occassion for the folly of human preoccupation with all things visible, they serve a purpose in bringing us to repentance within God's long-suffering and mercy towards us during his restoration process.
God is not asleep, nor on vacation....we will always encounter some man's vain ambitions and carnal striving along the path of our journey, pressing toward the mark of the prize of our high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Like the 'callers' that heckle for customers at some carnival, there will always be regular attempts by men to make disciples unto themselves.
Each one of us will see the Kingdom of God increase when the Kingdom of a man decreases.
Kook de jour
The next big thing
The preeminent seat occupant
....will always be in the mix.
The Kingdom of God is not meat or drink, but righteous, peace and joy in the HOLY GHOST.
It is in these things that we serve Christ.
It is in these things that we are acceptable to God.
It is by these things that we are approved by men.
Let's serve peace and build-up one another, starting by refusing to be pawns of our adversary who is happy to use us to bring accusation against our brethren.
