PART I: The System That Should Not Exist

“Ayo, the sermon lowkey slayed and the music was mad presh, but fr, are we all just being delulu? Even if it ate, something still feels ick. No cap.”

The Ecosystem didn’t get pillaged overnight, and the System wasn’t constructed overnight.

The Ecosystem was strangled and trampled and buried slowly.

A substitution here.

A compromise there.

A shortcut, a convenience, a tradition, accommodating biological family, a fear, a political back pat.

In time, the living organism Jesus breathed into existence became a machine on autopilot, camouflaged into the cultural landscape.

Part I is a diagnosis.

Not to condemn, but to reveal the architecture problem. There actually is a very, very delightful and simple—but costly—Solution.

It’s a bit like King Josiah rediscovering the Scrolls, the Words of God, in the rubble of the attempt to rebuild the Temple. He tore his clothes, with a “What were we THINKING all this time?!”

And then it was 200 more years before Nehemiah had a fit because, in rebuilding the Wall around the Temple and Jerusalem, Ezra and Nehemiah realized they weren’t even DOING what the Scrolls said!

This is kind of like that. Let’s have a fit together.

The Scrolls have always said what they say about Jesus bringing the LIFE of Heaven to Earth, for us to share together His DNA Life… “that the world may know.” And yet, lost in the rubble of time, we’ve forgotten or it’s been hidden from us.

But only when you see the cage, can you choose the open door.
