If the biblical story of Jesus is valid, true - his intentional sacrifice and God-sanctioned suicide for The Believers was for nothing. It served no life saving purpose. Your Jesus committed suicide for you, and you continue to dishonor his work. Think about that before you get offended...finish thinking? Why for nothing?

Because...

His theologically flawed followers – including the religiously inconsistent non-believers are STILL sinning and polluting the universe with flagrant disobedience which gives perfect indication that Jesus failed to be effectively impactful. Same as Moses. He too failed to rally the wanderers with obedience. Two unsuccessful Hebrew and New Testament giants – and their disloyal sheep. Losers and turncoats.

We cannot and should not separate the one who failed from the unpreventable. The failure is the result that we live with every day. Look around...

You know what I am talking about...You see what I see. Your conscience is the indicator. Is it clean? Or, is it dirty? I will be the first to stand and shout, 'I am dirty. Filthy.' As a result, I have been FROZEN. Generating no life. Sharing no life. Is there a ‘saint’ willing to provide a testimony?

The fountain's life form – H20 - is stuck in place.

As this year comes to a close I know that there will be a lot of melting while in place. Life, like the fountain will eventually begin to flow again. Rejuvenating our existence.

Inconsequently, the frozen molecules of life will be superficially rejuvenated by empty rhetoric at Night Watch services all across the globe. That religious diarrhea of the mouth will be puked by ego-driven disciples (preachers) that actually need to remain frozen e.g. Eddie Long and the other usual suspects.

What is this Authentic Rejuvenation?

Our lives are constant. Life goes on and on. Unlike the water fountain we don't have to recycle the same life forms which are often times mistakes. We have the ability to purify ourselves. The ability (I said)!! But, our tired New Year resolutions are proof of our failure. Of our wasteful attempts to refocus.

If the story is biblically inherent, Your Jesus tried to cleanse you when he committed a crime in his final act of embarrassing desperation to be heard. To be seen. To be acknowledged. Nothing else worked! Not even his divine magic e.g. resurrection and ascension. Nothing! His death should have been the Christian Good News.

As my good friend, L. Scott said, "No one pays attention to good news any longer." He is right, and it is a fact that I should have gleaned from my textbook readings of the biblical text years ago while in seminary. I must have been too busy chasing the skirt of the preacher’s daughter.

The Good News Jesus spoke of (if the story is true) was vehemently rejected. Irresponsibly ignored as if it was meaningless metro news i.e. black man shot multiple times resulting in death at a Church’s Fried Chicken franchise while he attempted to protect four Latinas.

The crime, the Messiah’s bad act - became shallow celebrity news e.g. Kanye West and Lady GaGa: will be forgotten! Do you know how much brainless attention this secular human worshipping gets? More than we realize!

Let's personally resolute ourselves with the one and only gift we should have during the Christmas and Kwanza season - and in the New Year, TRUTH and LOVE! Hell, if you must, commit a crime to get yourself to that un-pearly gate of truth and bliss…like YOUR Jesus did…No - we ain’t ready to sit in incarceration for righteous rebellion.

Not sure why not…we spiritually incarcerate self each and every time we heed to Joel’s white-washed instruction to turn to our church neighbor and say, ‘Jesus is Lord.’ Some of these men and women are sending you straight to hell…if there is one.
