If all of the heroes of humanity, all the life-changing Warriors of justice and decency, where men who simply kept the rules, the world would be worse than Gahanna.   Rules are for children and bad people.  Every child, learning the difference between responsibility and privilege, begins the long for freedom. Freedom from parents freedom from siblings, because adulthood and maturity has no foundation without the integrity of the individual free from all external influences.

Go ahead, I dare you, stick a pin in it.

• Jesus is just another faithful Jew
• Moses is just another descendant of Abraham
• Abraham is just another ordinary Joe from Mesopotamia
• The fathers of the modern nations are extraordinary individuals who stepped out of their box

What trend did Jesus buck?  You don’t know!  What trend did the Nelson Mandela buck?  You don’t know.  What trend did John A. McDonald buck? You don’t know. What trend did George Washington buck? what trains of all those Caribbean island leaders?  You don’t know.

Faith is the business of maturity

Children know nothing about activate, their faith is passive, they just do what they’re told.  Do you think you’re sure what was interested in all the tastes knocked and torch Norton handle not and the washing of pots and pans and keeping of the holy days?  Or do we suppose that Mr Mandela was interested in the maintenance of apartheid and the status of a fractured and wealthy Nation?

“But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed.” (Galatians 3:23, NASB)

Are you heir or juvenile?

Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he does not differ at all from a slave although he is owner of everything, but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by the father.” (Galatians 4:1-2, NASB)

What trend will you buck to access your maturity? You can say “Any” but when it’s time to step out of your box,  you bawl like a baby who can’t find the nipple!  Go ahead; stick a pin in your obedience maturity, your faithfulness and loyalty righteousness, and your  demonic-sourced mortality.
