The Crusades are an excellent example of how God’s kingdom does not work. I reflect on the US invading Iraq for “defensive purposes.” Now that we are out ten years later, that nation filled with the blood of thousands of young American boys and girls and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis is rapidly turning into a worst state than we arrived–utter chaos. Why does much of the Church subscribe to supporting a method that does not work? I say it’s because they are filled with the false belief in a warrior-piety much like the Crusaders. Jerry Falwell did not sound much different than when Pope Urban called for the slaughter of the infidels all in the name of God. But since he was an American Evangelical it was okay? Wars do not end war.

The Crusades were a miserable failure: the fusion of God’s kingdom and man’s kingdom(s) have always ended in confusion and a perversion of Christ’s message. We build our church one person at a time, from the bottom up…not the other way around. The only cause worth investing in or giving one’s life for is the cause of LOVE as spoken from the mouth of Christ Jesus Himself! Thank you for sharing this very poignant and immediate message as we approach some challenging times in the very near future.
God bless you and continue to spread truth!

I was reading a Martin Luther work recently and he brought up Paul’s description in Romans about the Holy Spirit shedding the love of God abroad in our hearts. Thats just it. It is not a love we can somehow conjure up by willing it to happen. Instead we have to surrender to God’s will and allow the Holy Spirit to give us that love as a gift of grace so that we have the love and power needed to create the world scripture is describing.

It is sad to think of the “lives wasted”.

I think you’ve drawn a good illustration on what the Kingdom of God shuold be like here on earth. And I think this is the radical life Christ has called us to.

May the the power of His Holy Spirit help and guide us!

Hahaha! How could I not put that in my blog? There’s something special about certain foods that are unique to a family isn’t there? Its a taste of home filled with happy memories. I must add to that list Grandma Kelly’s Spinach Gnocchi and my mom’s Stuffed Artichokes. I hope when I meet Grandma in heaven the Lord will let her use the kitchen up there to make those Gnocchi again. God bless you and your family this Christmas!

Jeremy, you have captured the memories of your youth and now have the chance to make new ones with your children. How awesome, for them, that you will pass on to them that Christmas is about Christ and His promises.
My best to you and your family….and your parents, too.
Merry Christmas.
