Fellow Labourers-
I read today's article with fear and trembling because of what I see and know. There is a form of spiritual laziness that has spawn Christendom over the past decade or two that should make us all very concern for the church and indeed the Kingdom of God. Have you ever noticed the look on some of our faces whenever we are ask to think? It seems nothing pains some people more than having to think. We have become so accustomed to hype that a lot of our churches are filled with spiritually anaemic saints.
Remember Jesus' command to be wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove. It is still very relevant today. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. coins the phrase "A tough mind and a tender heart" based on Jesus' statement and he inferred that soft mindedness is a dangerous thing. Charlatans and dictators often capitalizes on soft mindedness. It was Adolf Hitler who said, "I use emotion for the many and reserve reason for the few. In Mein Kampf he even said that "By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell."
We need to watch not only our natural diet but also our spiritual diet. My wish is for leaders and followers who finds the ultimate diet to sustain us in this challenging world.
Pax Vobiscum
