“The LORD is zealous for Zion with great zeal," and thus there is a Zionism that is not carnal.

ROCKETS, GIANTS, AND BOOZE
The cup of staggering, cup of stupor, is engineered to push us into the God of the Everlasting Covenant, the One who died to kill the carnality in us—because nothing of the flesh will survive eternity. In this era of rocket fury and the drunken stupor saturating social media, guard your heart. The only Goliath is the antichristic spirit that opposes the eternal purposes of God bound up in the everlasting covenant.
HOLY VIOLENCE & A LIFE ABOVE THE FRAY
A CALL TO THE TABLE
I’d like to issue this invitation to you as we leave 2020 for 2021: Come to the table. And bring your buddies. Bring your neighbors. And may He purge us there of everything we still carry but cannot bring into the Promised Land. May He meet us there and “add many to our numbers.” And may the table become a place of humility and repentance, where the Body and Bride of Jesus can prepare the way for the coming King.

The Law of Love goes anywhere and humbles itself before any person, that it may break their chains off.
