When I was a young adult
I would fall down into rabbits holes
Searching for answers
I wanted to be a Christian
In different way
My home church
That I grew up in
Inspired me immensely
But I also got the impression
Of Christians being arrogant
I know that the Church
And especially my local church
It is not the same as God
It is very hard for the moral
To see their need for God
But it is also hard for the fallen
To rise back in faith
We think in our society
That most people are good
And our problems come from a few
But the Bible teaches the opposite
Everyone is equal in the Church
Because we are all morally fallen
Like most religions understand
Evil originates in our thoughts
There is no need to battle our actions
If we control our thoughts
We can reform ourselves
It is so hard to do this
That few or none ever achieve this
This is without the Grace of God
Some try meditation
Some try exercise
Some try medicine
But getting up from the pit
Is too hard for us to ever achieve
Without divine intervention
I once thought to express my faith
In different ways
I once thought I was gothic
I later found out I was mentally ill
Much later I found the original center of the Church
Christianity was always a multicultural religion
Spanning empires and continents
But restoring Christianity
To the level that most will be saved
Is not about us changing anything external
To really have God grow His Church
Requires us to take a step back
We need to wait upon the Lord
We will not be able to legislate morality
And enforce it through fear
We need to focus on the ideology
The only ideology we need
Is in the Person of Christ
We need to stop trying to re-imagine the Church
We need to focus on our own lives
We need to focus on our own communities
The way we think in America today
Is we need to have big solutions
And to do so we need money and power
And need to bring it to fruition
Within a matter of several decades
Where does God get credit then?
What kind of witness is this?
This is why people no longer want to join things
Everything feels like a commercial
We need to go for the miraculous first
We need to seek God’s help first
And consider people as a secondary approach
Just like Schizophrenia is treated
Primarily through medicine
So the Church is to be healed by Christ
The most powerful way to change society
Is to let God take control of us
We do not know the solution
We will never find it
We need God to solve our many problems
Because only God can forgive sin
We will be judged for our disrespect for His creation
And we will suffer because of our arrogance
We cannot expect our current lifestyle
Losing technology is not a punishment
By any stretch of the imagination
Our problems are worse today
As we are all in one place
Like in the Tower of Babylon
Everyone was together
And they believed they didn’t need God
We need to separate the world system
Back into geographic regions and countries
And even to the level of counties and cities
Putting everyone together in one place
Makes crime easier and more efficient
Our problem is not that we don’t save enough money
Our problem is that our focus is not on Christ
We need to work out our faith
Before we can criticize others
Once we do this
We will already have
Much of the problem solved
To solve spiritual problems
We first need to understand
What God sees the problem as
The Church needs to lead by example
Once the Church is able to reform itself
Others will flock to it
Christianity does work and save us
We just need to take God at His word
And be willing to do things His way
We see our biggest problems as political
God sees them as sin problems
If we want to deal with sin
We need to deal directly with God
But we must change our view of how we see
Both the battle and what victory means
We will not get past our need for God
And the battles will never stop
But the war is won
When we choose to follow God
Once we accept God’s grace
The proof of change is in the fruits of the spirit
Works are the proof of faith
This is how we prepare for the second coming
We must put God’s promises to the test
And He will show us the power of good
