A lot of people are heckling me about my book, and how 99% of my writing that will be included isnt a worship song, but in defense of myself (I could take the noble God will defend me! Stance, but I choose not to), in the last year, I have been up and down, left and right, faithful and faithless. If anything, the entirety of this last year has shown me one thing. I am a completely depraved human being in need of something other than a prescription drug or a pint of JD. And while I may not posess a perfect character, or put on this facade that says Im any better than what I am, in this book, its raw. Its real. Its feels. Its faithful. Its faithless. And if you dont like that, keep your mouth shut. It seems everyone has input nowadays. Everyone THINKS they need to speak into everyone elses life. I can tell you that Im not a solid Christian. That if anything, this year has shown me how faithless of a human being I really am. And thats not condescension thats honesty, something that many of us Christians seem not to posess. I am the weakest of men, and in many hours I believe I hold onto Jesus by the thread of a needle, and yet my comfort is not in how able I am to get to Him. It is in how much He is able to get to me. I respect the opinions and counsel of those around me, but at the end of the day, I will make my own decisions. And I will reap the consequences of those decisions. But before I make any decision, I choose to be honest, about my character (or lack thereof), integrity (isnt top notch either), and faith (if a mustard seed is small, my faith is beyond microscopic). Im not asking for anything of you, but to learn to have compassion on those that you believe are less than you...learn to accommodate people that arent as far along as you. You will never successfully lead by condescension.
