The planned residual effects of preaching the imperfect church, is being seen in the decay.
Perfection is attainable. When it keeps being preached as impossible and unattainable, a sinister seed of “you can’t help it” that many Christians continue to water, grows.
Many Canadians are blind to not see the effects of that “imperfect thorn” intentionally planted on purpose for a purpose. No one has stepped up to uproot it. In the church or in the market place.
Many lean on helplessness as their “sinful nature of man” excuse, so few are exercising or feel the need to develop the fruits of the Spirit, that is the mirror image of what man was created in, one of which fruit is Self Control.
When embracing the imperfection, “we are born as filthy rags” as our primary mirror image, why is there the inevitability wonder as to why man moves from the space of being a slave to their strong man so “why bother”? Maybe if man begin to move from the higher energy of authority over the strong man, we would have more victories over temptations than defeats.
It’s impossible to live righteous, is what we’re being told and that, perfection is impossible and unattainable. When generation after generation are being told none is righteous, yet the very same word said, be holy as your mirror image that created you IS holy, perfect and without blemish, we create confusion and double minded, weak people, in the church.
Many live daily at the mercy of hoping and keeping fingers crossed that they could win the generational character deficiencies temptations of; your best friend spouse, a co-worker, a nanny, pronograpgy, drugs, alcohol, bribery, pedophilia, inside trading, dirty law enforcement, sleazy journalist, abuse of power, abuse of influence, racism, favoritism, jealousy, envy, coveting, domestic abuse, narcissistism, emotionally unavailable and easily compromised.
The church teaches contradictions, much like a double minded man, the twain personality never bears clear, concise, focused, perfect, fruits. Is the Son returning, is the Sun going to rise one day to a blemish, spotless free, mirror image church or bride? Yes or No. Simple answer. If yes, then when will the church begin to roll up its sleeve not to assume the mark of being beaten into submission to ensure that you can buy, sell and have access to the human rights given to you by your birthright. But to roll up its sleeve to assume the working position of assuming responsibility of wanting to become the mirror image of perfection with no shame, no blame, knowing that nothing is impossible as free men and free women who were commissioned to become perfect.
Ex Mayor John Tory was beseeched by many elected officials to not resign and just take a leave of absence for the imperfection of “just being a man” during what everyone was feared to the brim about Global pandemic. While Ex Mayor Rob Ford was witch hunted by elected officials for self hurting actions of drug use with no death lurring pandemic occurring.
Self hurting actions that did not betray Oath of Marriage, Oath of Office, Workplace Ethics, Public trust, since “no man is perfect” right. John Tory actions does not cause personal him, except a STD. It gaves him sexual gratification, not his wife, while he enforced mandates that were destroying the lives of others telling Torontonians to remain isolated including away from their family that did not reside with them. Many even isolated from those living with them.
But Tory did not stay away from his Mistress. They “mutually” made the decision in 2023 to end their affair. So 2020 didn’t seem serious enough to make that decision? Thought we were in a deadly Global pandemic. Did Tory not care about what he was bringing into his family’s living space? Selfish sexual immoral behaviour took precedence? What happened to your right ends where my nose begins? That didn’t apply to sexual immorality right to commit?
My rant’s purpose? Ex Mayor John Tory will be seen as an honourable man by many Christians, while Ex Mayor Rob Ford will be seen as dirty. How many Christians will feel honored if their adulterous Manager gives them an award but will not want to sit at their cafeteria take with a co-worker who breaks company’ policy by texting at work, have their desk messy?
Embracing teachings of not being possible to become the mirror image of perfection that we were made in, AND told to become, and instead embracing the mirror image of lack of self control, lack of ethical principles, lack of moral compass, filthy rags, has made violations of moral ethical principles as not being a deal because its who we are, that is our identity. While social principles of conduct and imagery is the mirror image that we should become focused on becoming perfect in. In the church and in the market place.
Maybe that’s why there will be few on the narrow while many Christians will be found on the broad hearing depart from me, I don’t know you, you look nothing like me. I don’t recognize you, I recognize those who look like my mirror image. Well done, good and faithful to have run this race here called the human experience being able to see through the lies and deception of my words.
Have a great family day. Keep family values as dear to you as your last breath. Keep “old school” values of ethics and leadership at the core of your being. Make Ethical Leadership something that is possible and attainable.
