Now here's what bothers me. Why would Christ say, "Blessed are the poor, for theirs is the kingdom of God" (Luke 6:20)? Could it be that our achievement values differ from the values of the kingdom? And his comments about the first being last and the last being first in that kingdom - what does that say to us well-ordered leader types? You see why it disturbs me, don't you?

Wait! The conspiracy is worse than that! Have you considered the twisted values of the Hokey Pokey? You put your right foot in first? (grin)

Michelle - thanks for contributing. What brought you to the blog?
These are the things the LORD delights in! This is the pure milk of the word-For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence. Grace&Peace be multiplied unto you!
