From Today’s Stack

The Stack is a potential.

It is a conversation waiting to happen. It is a package delivered to be opened.

But the Stack is also just a concept. You will have many stacks. Every stack is a node in a much greater framework, a larger conversation you are having with yourself. This is true not only of notecards, but of digitized storage, your pantry closet and your art-style decisions.

The Stack is a storage of your spirit, a thing you did, a response of your soul to previous psychological pressures.

But where are you now? You are here, not there. Yet these crumbs, this trail of memories, that which you’ve noted, a pile to others, is the Stack to you. The question is not, “Can this happen?” The question is, “Will you leverage it for your own good, or are you going to just keep watching the world scream by?”

from Without Flesh

Only mania explains self-proclaimed followers of Jesus believing that they can convert people to his Spirit by ***hiding*** Jesus, by minimizing both His words and His most public works from all polite conversations.

Are today’s Christians really so arrogant as to believe that the way to save Christianity is to cease clinging to it? Are today’s Christians truly so blind as to willfully forget that the only real purpose of Christianity is to preach the radical message of trust in the body of a single man, and Him dead, hanging nailed to a cross? Do today’s Christians actually think that our churches will long survive by willfully forgetting that the one thing universally guaranteed by Him to never pass away is His words?

Jesus sends Christians into the world with the insistence that they are sheep among wolves. He did not give us a product to market or an ideology to debate. He gave a truth to be believed. He also told us that the world would hate that truth. Whether we are in the midst of the most bountiful new-Pentecost harvest the world has ever seen, or in the midst of a drought so bone-deep and out of season that even the tares are asking where the water might be, what is needed is not the doubt-riddled lunacy that we must “*Change, or die.*” What is needed is the old fashioned faithful grit which believes that no matter what we see, Christianity will never die.

Because Christianity ***cannot*** die.

Because ***Jesus is not dead***.
