Kudos to Oleg for sharing this with me.

It is pathetic when people reduce Christianity to, “HEY YOU’RE POWERLESS, YOU ARE NOTHING WITHOUT GOD. YOU GOT NOTHING! YOU ARE JUST A PIECE OF DIRT INCAPABLE OF ANYTHING!”
“YOU ARE WEAK AND PRONE TO FAIL!! CLIIING TO GOD!! HE’LL TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING CAUSE YOU SEEM TO FAIL AT EVERYTHING YOU DO.”
N.O.
The Kingdom is not about “without Jesus I am nothing.”
that’s how someone talks if they don’t have Jesus
The Kingdom IS about “I have Jesus, I can do anything.”
It. is. not:
“I can’t do anything, therefore I need Jesus.”
that’s how someone talks if they don’t have Jesus
It. is, “I HAVE JESUS, therefore I can do all things through Christ who strengthens.”
(Joshua 1:9, 1 Samuel 10:7, 1 Samuel 14:7, Isaiah 41:10, John 14:16-17)
Christianity is not about damsels in distress hopelessly waiting to be rescued by an all powerful God.
It is about an all powerful God that has set up residence in people (Hebrews 13:5, 1 Cor 6:17-19, Col 3:3, Col 1:26-27) so that they are empowered in every way (Eph 1:3, Luke 10:19, 1 Cor 1:4-7, Eph 1:20-2:6, 2 Peter 1:2-4) to rock the face of the planet with the Kingdom’s love and power (John 13:34-35, Romans 15:19, 1 Cor 2:1-5, Acts 10:38, John 14:12, 1 John 2:6).
