The Christian & Society

-
For all the fiery messages delivered every so often about doing Gods will in one's life and going about it with passion and with ones entire heart and soul, the response isn't all that impressive. The Christian still seems to act with extreme caution being careful not to step out of the boundaries of what society accepts. Society and the world endorse competition. God doesn't. In it, you have to make sure you end up on the right side of your decisions,choices and abilities because even though it doesn't affect society and its members- if they don't like it, you're going to suffer for it.Neither does God endorse this. He only asks us to serve Him and Him only, not only upto when we stop to appease society, but the entire way. He is the only one whom we are to impress.

The race that everyone is to run respectively is not necessarily the same. Among the races that are to be run, there are a few that don't have the approval of the society. The Christian hasn't yet come to terms with the fact that those too are or can be of Gods plan. If God endorses them, then with faith we can go ahead and run them against their risk. Society always rates and its standards are none like Gods. That rating is what carries weight in society.

In my life, there's no one to prove myself to
I've to keep myself fully satisfied
that I've used what I've been giving well
and will be able to give an account to God
because he gave it all to me.
But I don't want to be the greatest or the best there ever was
whatever the yardstick is according to all the rest
I just want to have the best time that I can
don't want to be a part of the competition
because life's a race to run, not a race to be won

Some people don't do what they'd like
but they do everything that it takes to show the world
that they're better than somebody else
The injuries they sustain when they have proved their point
takes away everything that makes it worth its while
Nowadays you lose too much if you're intentions aren't
kept up with those I just mentioned
You might even lose what you deserve otherwise
But when Jesus comes again, I know he's going to judge me on
the trail I left behind, not on how far from the finish line I am.

The Three 'M's of Madness: Macro-evolution, Marriage & Mayhem

-
If necessity was the mother of invention, and mankind had to invent marriage, this invention would not need a mother because it wouldn't need to be invented - at least not the way it is now. It is the strangest thing, yet, that humanity has prided itself in, parading it around confidently, minus the clear cracks of course.  In macro-evolution, there is a well-recognised concept of animals changing their bodies over centuries and millennia to adapt to the challenges they face in their environment. Over many years, beaks get longer, scales become different, hair grows or falls, and sometimes even new parts grow - just so that they can adapt to harsh environments.  Mankind is an animal and has his fair share too. This is found in a switch hidden in all the mushy entanglements that is the brain. It developed as a result of being immersed in the culture of idealisation and idolisation of marriage. It remains switched off until the very first day of real married life post the honeym...

Are you wanted! for a crime, or because it's worth your time?

-
If there was a wanted poster out for you that aligned with your life, as it is now, would it be for something that you'd get punished for (like a crime), or something that you would be kept for (like a prize)? Would the sheriff in town seek to eliminate your threat, or would he be looking for you because he really needs your help? In a world where life is work-defined, we all have one of these wanted posters out for us. If we don't, we are in the bottom feed that nobody wants to eat out of.  It's like our "worth".  Even if we don't define ourselves externally (i.e. based on how much use we are to other people), a healthy symbiotic relationship with the world demands that we should have something good enough to offer that warrants our own wanted poster to be out by someone. We're after all people of the same Universe or sub-universe wherever we live. In a happy world, we shouldn't be aliens in our own society. Hopefully, they don't want to find us b...

The Reason Why

-
I know you love Jesus You don't give me a choice I've heard all about Him His amazing ways and the power of His voice You seem bent on talking about Him Until the end of your days But there is a slight problem With what your saying We usually do things for a reason why I can understand,if it's not all logic There's no need for you to start getting all apologetic If there's something I am not seeing (or whatever) Then it must be upto a being, much higher To open my eyes and do its job And show me that I am such as slob Dude, it's got to have a reason I can atleast buy If you can link it to my present situation You may be able justify the effort to take it to all the nations But if you throw around morality Subjective belief and comprehension of things a book says that call for fearful apprehension I have a much better reason to die So, I say with much respect, Before you put your belief to the test To those in whom it hasn't been inbred That you live by your ...
