God's Protection?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

The truly new world order will not include domination.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

You light up my life.
You fill up my senses.
You show me the way.
You make me want to shout.
You give me hope to carry on.
You invite me to THE party.
You provide all I need.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“It would really surprise Mom if I turn this water into Dr. Pepper.”

[The guests at that Cana wedding would have appreciated it. Not!]

D. Blog: Offering God Protection

Why do so many people think they can or need to protect God?
Don’t they have it backwards?
Don’t the presumption and arrogance strike them?

Imagine Moses: “I climbed this mountain, Holy One, to offer you the protection of this raggedy band of former slaves. In exchange, all we want is a land of milk and honey. Deal or no deal?”

The Sanhedrin to Jesus before they send Him to Pilate: “We’re seeking your death penalty because we need to protect the Holy One from threats like you.”

Amazing, the gall of it all.
