Earnest Lies of History

What Christianity has become by virtue of the histories written by it is another tale of those in power—those in power wielding Christianity this way or that, whereas the way Christianity started was a different story that needs to be retold in every age, because it’s about nameless people and disenfranchised people whose world has been invaded by Christ. We don’t hear from those disenfranchised people in history. We only hear about the big people. We only hear from the famous historians, the famous theologians, this king or that king, or Emperor Constantine taking Gnosticism out of the Gospel for the sake of power.

    The 23rd Psalm

    “Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.” Well, that’s very reassuring. So the rest of my life here, all the days of my life that I have left in this material world, I’ll be followed by, I’ll be near to, goodness and mercy all along. Something might happen to me. I might stumble, I might stub my toe. I might run into some snafu, which we do pretty much every day. But goodness and mercy follow me there. Right there. I can quickly, the minute I realize what I’ve done, I can repent. I can pull back, turn back to the shepherd, and goodness and mercy are right there because they’re following me. They’re stuck to me like glue all the days of my life. I’ll never be alone. I’ll never be separated from the love of God.
