Save Me!

I'm here to save you.

What from?

Not from the devil.

There is no devil in reality.

But from devil worshippers.

What devil worshippers?

The devil worshippers that are hidden in our popular culture: our rock music, our movies, our T.V., our literature, our sports.....

I can't see any devil worshippers.

No.  They are cleverly disguised and concealed.

Think heavy metal.

Think flames.

Think the sign of the devil.

Think horns.

These things are there to be seen.

So don't deny that devil worship is real.

It doesn't do any harm.

Yes it does.
It poisons you.  It curses you.  It tempts you.  It leads you astray.  It distracts you.  It damns you.

I am here to save you.

Save me!

Pray to God to rescue you.

Pray to God to deliver you from evil.

Pray to God to adopt you as His child.

Pray to God to guide you and bring you home.

But most of all:

Open your heart.

Wedding Ring.

A married man may have sex an average of two to three times a week.

A single man may have sex less than once a week.

And yet the single man is labelled dissolute.

While the married man is respectable.

Work that out.

Concessions.

If we enthrone the heart above all other things we will automatically make concessions according to understanding.

This means not rigidly applying rules.

To make rules and enforce them with rewards and punishments is legalism.

And it was this legalism that Jesus criticized in the Pharisees and Sadducees.

But what is our law if we do not apply the rules?

Our law is Love.

And Love is its own reward.

Peace.

Peace comes from God.

It surpasses understanding.

It descends upon us.

It is a blessing.

It banishes turmoil.

It calms the heart.

Peace comes from God.

What is Light?

And what is Light

but darkness visible

and the message of Love.

Shed Your Light.

Father of fathers.

Great holy One.

Breath of Life.

Author of being.

Come to us now.

Shed your Light.


The world is in darkness.

We stumble and fall.

We fight with each other.

We build ramparts and walls.

Come to us now.

Shed your Light.


Everyone's searching.

We look for the star.

But no one knows how

or where it will come.

Come to us now.

Shed your Light.


The harvest is ripe.

The time is upon us.

We anticipate blindly

the end of the night.

Come to us now.

Shed your Light.


Fit us for service.

Spread your arms wide.

Help us to gather

all who are wise.

Come to us now.

Shed your Light.
