The Difference

What is the difference between the Church and the secular society that claims “an open Jesus”. That is, a “Jesus” that just understands the maters of life and will not ever be judging the soul as He has been “taught” by many to judge. Sort of a “marshmallow” savior that is so soft that one can just lean in and be comforted but never challenged to be like the “real” Christ of the Gospels. It really matters when you come into a relationship with God. He has brought every solution to every problem. The conduit for for this absolute “set free” attitude is Jesus’ purpose and placement in and on this earth. He came to set us free from the “stuff” that we are so readily to carry around. The solution to the incorrigible attitudes that we confront daily, from the morning mirror to the evening “wink”. These attitudes feed off the secular, carnal, adeptness that comes from being overburdened by a problem. Each human being takes the approach of independence from God as the problem or confrontational aspirations bring an effectual response from the inner-man. However, man is not created to last in such a battle when the Lord puts His mercy as a “weight” on the heart which controls the inner-man and the will. The immediate creative response which is uncovered by mercy is to place the solution as a oil upon a wound. Knowing this brings out the “attitude” of change and the tilling of the heart’s fallow ground to receive the “seeds” of the Word of God. The difference is simple, secular response to a holy God is a matter of time and strength compared to the “hunger” of a person’s heart that responds to the burden and weight of mercy.
