Forged By Faith

1 Corinthians 1:28 NIV To nullify It’s something that brings to mind the idea of an annulment, a cancellation, an invalidating, a repealing, revoking, removing, reversing, rescinding, an erasing even. In basic terms it’s a voidance of what’s elsewise proven an avoidance of what should have been an acknowledgement, an appreciation, an honoring if you will of something that has rather been set up in such a way that has been since deemed to be in need of being instead erased. And, in this case, that which God has determined to so revoke or nullify is indeed the very foundations of our world’s understandings as to how basically all of life is best to be lived. All because all the ways in which we’ve chosen to live are only those vastly lost in pride, arrogance, ego, anger, hatred, suffering, strife, the very veritable loss of every single life as is now demanded of all those manners in which life as He created it has been instead upended as is lived by all of us who do so love to so preten...

1 Corinthians 1:27 NIV Capsized For it was to God’s pleasure to prove our pleasures perfectly negligent when it comes to what pleases Him thanks to our having learned from one another to hate our sisters and harm our brothers in what’s become a heart so hard that ears can hear but won’t listen, minds can imagine but refuse to believe, eyes can most certainly see but have not any interest in looking beyond what they wish to notice, and indeed our very souls have thus sunken inside what’s become a way of life in which we live entirely antithetical to life itself. All by denying both the second death we owe and He who died on our behalf so that we’d need only endure the first that we too could have missed. How? By never having become so high on ourselves that we took it upon ourselves to wreck ourselves thanks to our coming to consider that all checks need be is only cashed as this encouraged us to partake of no checks checked along the way. And indeed, thou who doth not check thyself dot...

Colossians 2:8 NIV Counterfeit There will come a day unto each of us, in varied time, in which we’ll all of the sudden feel this shaking almost as if someone is trying to wake us up from what we’ll then realize has been a life-long slumbering unto the stumbling we’ve been choosing here inside what will then be proven the greatest mass-delusion ever designed. And while this may sound unto most as just another conspiracy theorist’s joke, it isn’t. Because it’s promised that all will be changed and many thereof within the mere twinkling of an eye when the last trumpet sounds. A call resounding to all that it will then be time for the perishable to put on the imperishable and the mortal with immortality. Problem is that our chosen slumber has been swallowed in every decree of inhumanity and immorality that a fallen world could so invent with such blatant intent upon deceiving and being deceived. All chosen simply because the majority here still, though the Light has come into the world, pr...

1 Corinthians 1:21 NIV Foolish wisdom It’s something that we both already have and yet are ironically called to turn around in order to find. And it’s this entirely oxymoronic undertaking as is to be undertaken at first backwards and then forever then on rather upside down that has led many to conclude that faith itself is something that, though existing, makes to no sense for an existence. And it’s that conclusion that either begins or ends the confusion in regard to this call still ringing from a cross taken to crosses taken. Indeed, the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing as those who are perishing presently haven’t the audacity to imagine that getting the dying over with early might somehow achieve for us an inability to do it again should such a fearful opportunity present itself in the future. Which it will. For such is the promise of both every life and then of Judgement Day itself. Simply because both are promised the presence of what is death, as is ...
