They said to each other,"Did not
our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?" (Luke 24:32)

mine forever


let's mine here forever, this zenith of evangelicalism
no need no more to be literate, of our scriptures
trickle down economics, spiritualized
give me the distilled version, in five chapters so I
can be not bothered by my own pilgrimage
my own prayers, my own years
my own character, my own faith,
my own sweat and my own tears
let's just mine here forever,
for the echoes are louder
and the nostalgia so
much easier..

implications

seeking the full life,
kingdom living
implicitly sinning

apply this
dynamic
don't wait for it to shift
ignorant of hell

dynamics..
implications..
applications..
time to create a whip

missional, missiological, political
implications

apply this
dynamic
don't wait for it to shift
ignorant of hell

dross for gold
tares for wheat
implicit realities
that only speak
to this cultural moment
we easily forget
the full life everlasting
and the emptiness of death

got to speak the language
who will understand?
incarnate the message
we don't understand
