The fulfillment of every word

In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: ² Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage —with great patience and careful instruction. ³ For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. ⁴ They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 
-2 Timothy 4:1-4


Let us now take down every sign, every billboard that recognizes any distinctions of one Christian from another. Let us remove every false boundary devised of the enemy, all of those invisible walls known as denominations. If you are proud of your heritage carry it on the inside and let your respect of tradition be shone in actions. If you truly dare not to disrespect your parents of faith, then stand to this call of unity which is Christ’ prayer for all those who believe on his name. Let us begin to love each other as Christ has loved, let the world know now that we are his children who call on the name of the lord by the way that we love one another. Let not our factions be imprinted upon the savior, rather let HIS name be written on our foreheads and in our hearts. Let all people find the light because it is shining and pointing to the true savior, not because we have placed a sign that points to us. We should not be worried how the masses will find us, or be concerned what markers they shall use on Sundays to find a place of worship. For when we remove these walls we shall be free to go out of behind them. The place of worship will be the earth and all that is in it. When we remove these wall it shall be like lifting a bowl from a lamp, and all people shall come to the light even as it embarks on a journey to all men.

Salvation in better hands

I have battles just to keep my old self dead. At times I've even raised him form the dead just to pick a fight with him.

In my early youth Christ compelled me to death and I have yearned that death of me to be completed. Through much pain and struggle I have fought to make my life His life.

What I have finally come to realize is that the old self could not fully die until I decided to live.

I need not crucify Christ over and over, or even myself, for all of these were attempts at security, and my own means to salvation. Part of Josh Love dying to himself included letting Jesus love him.

I deny my self no more of your riches, no more of your lavish grace, or radiant plans for my life. Now is the end of false humility, now is the end of death.

Now is time for life.

Nothing that I want, and everything

Keep your governments, and your taxes! Keep your allegiances and political party ideologies! Take my house, have my car, my clothes, my telephone, squander my social security and fashion your missiles, your bombs and all manner of war machines. Keep your conveniences, your fast food restaurants, your favorite sports religions. Take back my very rights, keep your "independence" as you call it, all of those self-evident truths that so many have died for, your picket fences, your greens lawns and the tinny little ornaments that litter them. Have your wealth, your prosperity gospels, your American way! Have your fill of it all, oh world....just give me Jesus. Give me God. Please lord, I finally want nothing else, give me you.
