    I recently made a comment on my facebook status that went something like this:

    “Why is it that Christians start talking about God being in control, only when their party isn’t?”

      Its a stage we all go through I suppose.
      A growing phase…some make it past the intial slow years and go on to maturity…others get to caught up in the gravitational pull of the drama on earth.

      True change only happens within – “the kingdom of heaven is within” not “without”.
      Jesus sought, taught, and demonstrated “true change”. But even His disciples didnt get it.

      Paul got a hold on to something, which is greatly misunderstood by those not familiar with Judaic teachings…and John got it.

      Well, the Beatles got it to…”all you need is love” – and Paul (the apostle, not the beatle now… ;) ) has a nice definition of what that is.

      So, king to those who want to give their power away…results will always have the same end, even if its dressed up differently. ;)

      peace

      I don’t fully understand your comment, but I appreciate your thoughts.

      Though I would say that “all you need is love” doesn’t quite capture the holistic solution. But it’s part of it.

      To simplify:
      Jesus is our King. No other.
