Exordium Adiaphorous

A new way to do nothing. Exordium is the beginning of something, and Adiaphorous is a medical term to say that something is being ineffective. We as humans come up with ways of being ineffective for Christ subconsciously, of our own accord, which is why we need help to move forward. Big help. God's help.

We need You now
Break our chains by Your glory and power
Make us captive to a holy desire
~The song "Come To Us Oh Lord" by Young Oceans

 This is our manufactured peace. It isn't the truth, for true peace is discernible and attainable when sought after. 
By manufacturing our own temporary peace, we tell ourselves that it is the truth when really it's just lies covered up by something that looks good.

"You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden."
~Matthew 5:14

Don't be an outlier. The reason that Christians are often viewed so wrongly is because of those who call themselves Christians but don't show it. The most drastic means are what usually end up representing. As Christians, we need to be lights, beacons of love and example because we are ever set upon the hill for everyone to see and follow and take from.

"Bad company corrupts good character."
~1Corinthians 15:33

 Sometimes it's simple things that we don't realize are affecting us. Like friends/influences who don't make the best of examples. Just lay it down and let God do the work in your life. He will. (won't you God?.....mhmm....exactly!) Yap, he will.

"We can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God."
~1Corinthians 1:4

 Let us take the promise of love, peace, comfort that God gives and chop it up into little pieces that we can hand out like cookies to others!

"[Our bodies] are buried in weakness, but they will be raised in strength."
~1Corinthians 15:43
