Forged By Faith

Titus 3:3 NIV The artists formerly known You know, I for one find it incredibly disingenuous that a people who take such pride in their constantly trying on of different ideas and identities would look down so sternly, so brashly, so boldly upon those who themselves find themselves faced with what is nothing more than a similar change. Indeed, within this place it’s nothing for someone to change jobs every couple years, to date 10, 20, 30 different potential ideals, to give themselves unto the tasting and seeing what might fit within their plans and preferences, sampling so much so as to comb through the excess of all that doesn’t jive. We are a people who are in every way simply trying to make the best out of life, and doing so by the only means available and that is this general experimentation in regard to all the tides and trials sweeping throughout our nations. We’ve in fact so many different things that we can be, things that we have already been, things that we see others trying...

1 Peter 4:4 NIV Fools Such is what we are to those who think this life is meant for and thus to be forever measured by such things as fun and fame. And that’s because this world just doesn’t understand such differences of direction as this we’re walking inside what is an intention to find something more than just mere pleasure or public acceptance. All because a few of us seem to wonder as to whether that’s really all there is to live for, to give our time to seeking for, to allow our hearts, minds, souls, lives to lean toward. And that wonder comes only at the worry of those who are elsewise certain that there is nothing greater in life than the flesh being pleased. And so as soon as they see any who are starting to veer away from the vanity and insanity that all of life down here is so clearly becoming, they’ll at first up the ante so to speak. They’ll start trying to make their way of life look even better, more enjoyable, more rewarding in what is an attempt to both lure us back in...

2 Timothy 3:13 NIV Can’t you hear the sound? It’s a chorus crying out this song of a solemn hope being held out just a little longer unto a people who continue to flounder inside what is a life in which to forget and forsake the gravity of faith is seen as something somehow best to prove what all a life’s meant to do. Indeed, we live within this sea of those who seem not at all able to see the clouds starting to part, hear not the trumpet’s start and have then no fear of that day promised drawing near. All because instead they hear the sound of only the laughter loved by those who love not the Lord but only themselves. For that is the way of life that sells unto those who’re sealed inside this mind that makes them continue to believe that believing is a child’s game, something meant to be forever saved for those miniscule munchkins who’ve this foolishness about them that allows them to actually still believe in such things as everything better. And well, that’s just something that the ...

1 Peter 4:2 NIV Do not because you cannot Because as it turns out, once you begin down this path of a life being changed, being lost, you’ll come to find that you truly cannot return to that from which, whom, what, where you came to begin this chance to become who we can only ever hope to be once we are finally in Christ as fully as our faith and His faithfulness may allow. Truly, there comes with this belief a breaking that becomes a barricade to all you have been because you’ll see within the lot of what you’ll come to leave only everything that was never a life anyway. And, well, who in their right mind would return to death having tasted what it’s actually like to be alive? Indeed, it is such a strange shifting of seas that it seems that everything that ever has been becomes, in Him, only everything that you want to never be again. And this itself is a weird scene to see here inside what is a society so sewn to this assumption that it’s the gift of their gluttonous gumption given a...
