Power to Change: Jesus' Ecosystem Changes Everything

In the 1960s, Martin Seligman shocked dogs via their cage floors. Of course, they hated it. But when they realized they had no option, because the door was locked, they gave up trying to escape. And even when he opened the door later, the dogs still lay down and stayed inside. They had learned to be hopeless. They had the chance to be free, but they had stopped hoping, stopped trying. They changed their worldview to accommodate nothingness and “getting by.” Modern Christianity has mostly caught the same contagious disease. The same people who taught you to dress up on a holy day that doesn’t exist in the Bible, and didn’t exist during the days of Jesus or His apprentices, or for 300 more years… the same people who brought you Mardi Gras and Halloween and Santa and the Easter Bunny… have told you that the System is all that exists. They believe nothing better is possible. But “what if” instead, our priority is daily Life woven daily together with Jesus’ People and Purposes in the CONTEXT of “in the world but not of the world.” What if an outsider really would describe what he witnesses as everyone, “from the least to the greatest” not needing anyone chasing them down with the old Spiritless Covenant of, “Know the Lord, know the Lord.” What if “ALL the believers were one in heart” daily and lived Jesus’ priority for the planet, “As you rise up, sit down, and walk along the way.” This has ALWAYS been God’s Way, exemplified in His Life and teaching, and the life and teaching of His apprentices. The Ecosystem. That Changes everything.
