Beating the "&#%@" out of the Profane

As we approach this weekend I felt empowered by Darrell’s reminder that every moment and every space is sacred. As we brace ourselves for another season of ministry I always like to be reminded that Christ challenged us to storm the gates of hell.

His challenge to "storm" affirms Darrell’s point that space and time are filled with the sacred and takes it a step further.

Jesus doesn’t only remind us that spiritually and philosophically all space and time are sacred but Jesus starts over the line and takes it from there by proclaiming that in this battle, the mission is not to protect the sacred from the profane, but instead our mission is to break through the profane’s gates and defenses with the sacred.

We are not to protect the sacred from the profane.

We are called to be aware that strategically the profane seeks protection from the sacred.

For the sacred is not timid, weak, & frail.

The sacred is bold as a cosmic Lion whose very word upholds all things and whose roar can rip all creation to pieces.

The sacred tolerates the puny profane so that the children of Adam can see His glory – sacred blood poured out for the forgiveness of sins.

Okay – I think that’ll do it!!! See you at training peeps!!!!!
