This is a reminder that I don't care about church. I don't care about building buildings. I don't care about filling seats. I don't care about popular trends or making anyone's name great. KEEP READING SHAWT.
I care about God. I care about the presence of God. I care about lives being transformed, the broken being healed, the lonely finding their tribe, and the lost being saved by the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I care about God and I care about PEOPLE. I do not care about church!
I care about dirty water becoming clean. Not being mingled. Not being better, but CLEAN. I care about God's grace. I care about the heart more than I care about conduct. I care about sanctification. I care about deliverance. I CARE ABOUT A SAVIOR SAVING SOULS. I care about purple & green hair jokers. I care about hoes. I care about drug dealers. I care about lonely grandmothers and lonely teens and children. I care about the molested. I care about the molester. I care about the prisoner that DID IT. I care about the prisoner who didn't do it. I care about the prisoner in their mind and those who are enslaved by their passions. I care about the crazy, half crazy, and the sane. I care about the one who can't walk, who has a medical condition, who has a physical abnormality. I care about the broke ninja with the fake Jordans, fake Louis Vuitton belt, fake gold... I care about the one who has the bag. I care about the one who stole the bag. I care about the one who laid down to secure the bag. I care about the one who always did the right thing, said the right thing, the one who was always accepted and always loved...
I care about the homosexual, gender neutral, transgender, pansexual... I care about the BIG OLE FREAKS. I care about the witches and the warlocks and the sage burners and the crystal ball peepers, crystal rock holder, crystal meth smokers...
Why?
Because JESUS cares and EVERYBODY needs love. Real love. From a real Savior and real people.
But I don't care about church.
The methods may change, but the objective stays the same. I will not commit to any movement, intention, or deviation from God's heart or will in this season or the next. We may not reach the Millenial or Generation Z'er through or at the church building. We may! We may also reach them at the school, at the gym, at the booty club, on Instagram... But we (it ain't just me) gon give these folks Jesus every day, every moment, and where ever they at.
Millenials are the bridge between the Baby Boomer and Generation Z. We ALL need each other. The Boomers have the wisdom and the legacy. Generation Z has the energy and the innovation. Millenials have both. Traditional methods are DEAD. DEAD. DEAD...
STILL DEAD.
If the Holy Ghost ain't in it, I'm not with it. We ain't about to perform for no applause or hoe ourselves out for the cause. Baby said, "I ain't gon say it NO MO." I'm gon say it a few more times. We gon worship in SPIRIT and in TRUTH. Dread head, church hat, gold teef, COGIC outfits, and all. Everybody is welcome, including the fake folks! The "I don't know how to be myself" folks. The self-hating folks and the "hating on everybody else" folks. As God unlocks the hearts and minds of His creation, you gon find a gang of us ready and willing to love, fight, and pray for souls to come into the fold, despite personal hardship and any inconveniences it might cause. We gon give the devil hell and give the hell-bound heaven in Jesus name because...
We don't care about church. We don't pacificy demons, and we don't beat up the lost. We love God and love His creation in that order. JESUS IS THE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN and we gon be like Jesus even if it kills us.
We gon die, so that we might live. So that CHRIST can live through us and get the glory out of our lives.
"I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily."
We gon die a million deaths in order that ONE might be SAVED. We gon die to our wants, our desires, our opinions, AND our motives for Christ. We gon know our audience and proceed in humility and in total subjection to the Holy Spirit.
And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house... For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
We ain't here for play play. We here to stay and in Jesus name, you gon get this work. Even if we have to leave the church building and meet you off Fulton Industrial Blvd with some groceries, some love, and the Truth. Even if you smell like dank and got a little Hennessy on your breath, you gon get this Jesus.
Just know, that we stepping into every arena and invite the Holy Ghost in that mug. Even if folks are committed to death and darkness, you gon see a LIGHT shine brighter than a greasy face in the summer time. The roaches gon scatter and darkness gon flee. It will never be said that you ain't have a chance to choose LIFE. Not on our watch.
If I've said it once, I'll say it twice.
We 👏🏾 don't 👏🏾 care 👏🏾 about 👏🏾 church 👏🏾.
WE ARE THE CHURCH and we expanding every day.
Let the church say, "Amen." All glory to the LAMB, the SON, the LION, and our soon coming KING! Jesus, Yeshua. The Christ. The Messiah & to the FATHER of our Lord & Savior. (Shout out to the HOLY GHOST!) #BIG3
