YOU HAVE TO BE CRAZY!

Insanity is preferring to believe a lie because you think it sounds less crazy than the truth!

We gather each week as fellow believers ... but believers in what? A particular "worldview" and lifestyle? A doctrine? The ideals and teachings of a man who lived around 2,000 years ago?

If we believe these things we are doing better than many. But if this is the extent of our belief, if we have put "realistic" limits and boundaries on our beliefs, if we have settled for living a different ideology but not a different REALITY we have not understood the mind boggling truth Jesus has revealed to us about the actual reality in which we live and the amazing destiny for which we were created.

To be a true follower and believer of Christ you HAVE to be as "crazy" as He was. You cannot escape being regarded as totally bonkers and nuts by non-believers. You have to believe crazy things are actually real and true AND you actually have to live and act as if they are.

Here are some of the crazy things I, as a follower of Christ, believe are actually real and true.

I believe the Earth and the universe were created by a being who exists outside of and independent from both time and space. That very dead people can be raised up bodily and restored back to life. I believe in non-terrestrial, non-human, beings who have invited me to join them. AND I actually look forward to them literally "coming to take me away".

I believe it is possible to walk on water unaided, to turn water into wine, to divide the waters of seas and rivers without mechanical intervention, that all medical conditions, disabilities, and injuries can be totally cured without medical intervention SHOULD The Lord will it. And many even crazier things.

In short I live with Christ Jesus as the CREATOR, REVEALER, and CONTROLLER of the REALITY I live in, and as if, by HIS will, all things really are possible even when science and "realistic common sense" want me to believe they are not.

After all, if everything the Bible says is actually true you'd be crazy NOT to ..... Right?
