David Hayward is a pastor artistically stripping to the essential.
WHOA this is SO TRUE!
Especially because I was watching FLAME rap on youtube last night, and somebody got on there to comment something like: “The Bible is bullcrap” and one of us lovely Christians said: “You are so stupid have a nice time in HELL!”
Whatever happened to peace love and understanding?
The Bible makes it clear, there will be no peace until Jesus comes. Until then, ‘blessed are the peacemakers.’ It is an individual deal.

Those who get kicked off the ladder can take comfort in the knowledge that there is the safety net of God at the bottom. Of course, it’s easy to suspect it won’t be there when you’re in the midst of the freefall.
And once you’ve bounce-landed, dusted yourself off, and gotten back on the ladder (usually after much deliberation); it’s kind of tempting to catch up to the ones who “bumped you off.” And then in (with a gleeful chuckle of righteous indignation, of course) when you knock them off the ladder, you can assume that the divine saftey net will teach them a lesson by conveniently letting them hit the bottom with full force.
This knocking one another down…it’s an endless cycle of what goes up must come down and you reap what you sow. I’m learning why some people spend their time digging in the dirt or dancing in the moonlight instead of worrying about the incessant climb.
@ fishon:
So true, so true.
We need to be kicked off the ladder, the irony is that it is God that will do it.
Jesus looks up at the ladder and says what are you doing way up there? I have descended all the way down (for you) to the point of even goung into the grave to get you.
But trusting in that is no fun…so we climb.
