Thanks for the encouragement. Finding the balance between storming the gates, exposing the liars, and casting out the wicked sons on the one hand, and loving the peoples, comforting the afflicted, and giving hope to the weak is nigh impossible. Like Luther’s drunken peasant, we often fall off one side of the horse or the other.

Feel the freedom to push this old drunk peasant back up on the horse from either side. In the abundance of counselors there is victory.

Thanks for reading, and posting!

Sadly, it seems many of the Brethren these days are calling for the Church to shut up about the culture. I say, “Storm the gates of Hell with the love of Jesus!” A part of the Gospel message is the prophetic confrontation of the Law vs. Culture. We must expose sin, seek justice and mercy, and proclaim the Grace of God with integrity in our words and deeds.
Great posting!
Bryan

#6 is very confronting.

Especially right next to each other. Having “laugh at the days to come” right next to “weep with those who weep” exactly illustrates your point in number nine.

It’s a beautiful, hopeful paradox, esp for the broken-hearted person.
