A Plea

Gallery 1 Mar 2017 Kathie Whitestone Thompson Leave a comment

Watching some of mankind has brought me to a place of sadness and alarm.

White privilege and Get Out.

Before we sign up for the course or pay the ticket price would we not do well to consider the motivation of the originators and the promoters?

Is it not obvious the makers of Get Out are primed for money? And White Privilege courses? Why? What’s the motive? Education? Really?

So, let me ask. Do either of these projects promote harmony? My perusal of Facebook and some other internet venues shouts NO.

Consider this.

Born black?

Born white?

Born brown, yellow, red?

Not a one of us got to choose our birth parents, our birthplace, our skin color, and a myriad of other birth factors. So why are we warring over it? Really. Why?

There is One who did choose.
GOD.
That’s right. GOD chose our skin color and the whole kit and caboodle regarding our birth factors. So, since GOD chose why are we fighting about it or against it?

Let me pitch this out to you: Racism is stemmed in disagreement. Disagreement WITH GOD.

May I tell you what I have experienced? Every soul I meet and converse with for more than a minute or two that are filled with and walking according to the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD, we are instant friends. Racism does not live and thrive in the Spirit filled Body of CHRIST.

Whatever our skin color, whatever each of our birth factors are those factors are the VERY BEST suited factors for us. They were suited to us individually by GOD to abundantly equip us to do the life He put us on this earth to do. AND GOD DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES. (Psalm 139)

He loves each of us; all our varied colors are beautiful to Him and at the very least we are foolish to think otherwise.

And the sooner we believe this and live accordingly the sooner racism dies. This is my plea. Stop buying into this madness. Reject white privilege punctuated with hate, refuse to fuel Get Out and every other movement that pits us against each other. Stop posting, stop saying, stop doing stuff that fuels unbelief and hatred. Be a part of the solution – offer LIFE in CHRIST JESUS with words and deeds. Racism originated in hell – refuse to go there.

Matthew 12:36 (KJV) ³⁶But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. source

What if He means EVERY word we SAY by voice, by pen or a click of the mouse?

Sharing Sex — No just information

Gallery 28 Feb 2017 Kathie Whitestone Thompson Leave a comment

I found a series I want to share with you.

Here’s an except to get you started and I will provide links for you to continue your reading.

Sex, for good and bad, can be “awe-fully” consequential. As such, it is always provocative and never safe. When Andy Warhol said, “Sex is the biggest nothing of all time,” he was so wrong. Sex is one of the biggest somethings of all time – and for far deeper reasons and in many more fabulous ways than most people appreciate. For Christians, sex is a big thing because it’s a big thing to God.

I have not read every link so far but what I have read is worth our time.

Gospel of Matthew

Confidence

Gallery 28 Feb 2017 Kathie Whitestone Thompson Leave a comment

I found some quiet confidence relative to this culture that I am living in today in Matthew 15.

¹²Then the disciples came and said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees took offense when they heard this saying?” ¹³But He replied, “Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. ¹⁴Leave them alone; they are blind guides of the blind. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” source

Do you see the Disciples were concerned about political correctness? They were so concerned they came to JESUS to advise Him that the Pharisees were upset. Seems He had offended them with what He said. I was not surprised and I am completely delighted that JESUS was not quaking in His sandals. And since He did not, neither should I when folks are offended by the TRUTH of GOD I say or write. However, I am reminded it is crucial that the words I speak or write must be GOD’s Truth and not some made up human stuff.

Next.

Blind leading the blind He said. I am convinced this is not a physical blindness. And no He was not being insensitive or uncaring here. You see this is spiritual blindness. Moreover, it’s not that they COULD NOT see, it was that they WOULD NOT see. BIG DIFFERENCE! I shall remember this in this culture in which I live.

Until next time . . .
