God Hates This ~ Opening Thoughts

Greetings Dear Reader,

I am going to begin with a clear statement of the antithesis of my topic.  You know that I focus on the love of Christ for everyone.  Jesus’ best friend, John relates this to us in connection to an explanation of who Christ is.  First John 1:7-12

⁷ Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. ⁸ Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. ⁹ This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. ¹⁰ This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. ¹¹ Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. ¹² No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

What I want to focus on is that the essence of God is love.  If we are clear that this is true, then it begs a question that I am going to ponder for a few days.  That question is, how do I reconcile God’s hatred with his essence?  There are things that the Father and by equity, Jesus truly hates.  What are those things and how do we reconcile them with the truth that God is love?

Please understand that there will be a Scandalon in this discussion.  The truth of the things that God hates leads us to a stumbling stone and will sometimes offend us.  Remember Dear Reader that I pursue this thinking so that I understand Christ and can follow him more fully.  There is a paradox here that we must embrace to make our way along the path.  It is this, the God of the Universe whose essence is love must hate some things in order to be God; in order to live out the love that is that essence.

I would also be clear, as we endeavor to walk through this, that there are no humans, past, present, or future, that God hates.  We are not ever commanded to hate any humans.  There are actions that God hates and I will consider some of those as we walk through this.  If we are going to hold to the truth that God is love, we must define it in terms that he uses instead of what fits the world we wish we had.

Please ponder these things with me.  I value your thoughts and questions.  I love you, Dear Reader, and our company on this journey enriches it daily.  Feel free to share this with others. 

Wishing you joy in the journey,

Aramis Thorn

Second Thoughts ~ George Floyd

Greetings Dear Reader,

I am going to say some things here that I need to say.  It may cost me some friends but that is not my goal.  I do not seek to cause any division but rather to recall the things that should unite us.  I am weary of the things that we use to hate each other.  I am dome with the things that hinder love and peace.

My Grandfather was a police officer for the Atlanta Police Department after World War II until he retired in the early 1960s.   He was a good man who lived a good life.  When he would arrest someone after dinner time at the jail, he would bring the person to his home for dinner before taking him to jail.  It did not matter what the crime was or the race of the arrestee.  He would not let someone go to jail hungry.  You can read about this in Sheetrock on the Road.  He hated prejudice and took the unpopular stand for Civil Rights in the Atlanta of the sixties.

From him, I learned that I needed to see beyond a person’s color without ignoring the needs and challenges inherent in growing up as a person of color in the South.  He made me understand as a young boy how vital it was to work to understand how I could love others intelligently.  It wearies me that for all the things we have accomplished, we have not destroyed racism. 

My Grandfather taught me and reminded me often that my obligation to love others had nothing to do with race but with faith.  As the story of George Floyd broke over the last week, I recalled my Grandfather inviting an elderly black man to sit in our box seats with us at a Braves’ game in 1967.  The men sitting behind us joked at my Grandfather’s kindness to each other.  In a moment that marked me forever, he said to them, “You may disrespect me all you wish.  Should you disrespect my guest again, I will have you removed from the stadium.  If you doubt that this will happen, look around you at the police officers here.  They are all my friends.  I trained some of them.  Some owe me their lives.  They will do as I ask without question.”

Our elderly guest was weeping.  You see, he had no idea that a white man would stand against another white man for him.  The three of us enjoyed the game.  On the way home my Grandfather instructed me further.  “You need to pray for those men.  They need the love of the Lord to get the hatred out of their hearts.  You also need to thank the Lord that we had extras seats to share with someone poorer than us.  The most important thing to pray is that you never lose the understanding that we are all in deep need of God’s love and mercy every moment.  Anyone can become like them if he does not remain on guard.”

You see, Dear Reader, the shameful violence that Derek Chauvin committed against George Floyd it outrageous.  The deeper outrage is that we have all allowed a society to exist where Chauvin believed it was allowable to behave the way he did.  We have allowed a culture where his fellow officers did not stop him.  We have allowed a world where every life is not respected, cherished, and precious to us. 

We all know peaceful civil disobedience works.  We all need to demand prejudice and power no longer have a lease in our society.  If the black community feels that they are being treated wrongly, that is enough reason to make sure that we treat them well.  We need to reject the idea that anyone can be treated badly and that society is whole. 

We can demand that our civil servants be what they are supposed to be; men of the city (polis men).  We can make it clear that we will not tolerate the kind of brotherhood that looks the other way regarding any crime and that we will fully support a brotherhood that does whatever it takes to protect and serve every living human.

I have spent time in prayer for George Floyd’s family.  I have wept over this event and the hatred that caused it.  I have prayed for Derek Chauvin as well.  I want him to see his need for the love of Christ in a life that would kneel on a man’s neck for eight minutes for any reason.  I know who is guilty of the blood of George Floyd.  It is every human who has allowed prejudice to live in our society whether passively or actively.

Jon Donn made it clear to us that every man’s death diminishes us.  When they call us to a moment of silence out of respect for George Floyd, let us remember that unless we stand strong forever regarding every moment of prejudice, we dishonor this man’s blood.  I will not meet him in this part of the journey.  I will, however, carry him with me as a reminder that every human soul is worthy of my respect, my love, and my kindness.  I may not understand their circumstances, but loving others where are they leads to understanding.  That is what I am supposed to do anyway.

Wishing you joy in the journey,

Aramis Thorn

On Fear ~ Closing Thoughts

Greetings Dear Reader,

Whether it is over what might happen or what might happen again, fear steals so much from us.  It constantly begs for our attention.  It robs us of sleep.  It ruins our waking hours.  Fear lies and steals almost always.

Most of the time it is something we create from ignorance and misinformation.   Fear takes on the guise of what will happen instead of what might happen.  We give it life and lease in ways that hold us back from truly living.  We trade our real life for what we imagine and time is devoured as we are frozen from action.  I submit that the past does not determine who we are but rather our fear that what happened in the past may occur again in the future.  This is what makes us hardhearted, angry, judgmental, bitter, unforgiving, and dismissive. 

In the darkness, when we are alone, we feast on fear as if it was our true delight.  We build entire portions of our lives around what we fear then we decry the years lost to it devouring.  Fear lies and steals.  It has no place in our journey.

If I am going to follow Christ well, there can be no fear.  This is not a statement of bravado or pride.  It is an obligation to humbly count on the love or Christ to destroy my fear as I trust him.  It is internalizing the truths that we claim as Christ-followers.  It is living the belief God will supply all my needs, care for my every hurt, and show me how to live out the love he requires me to have for others.  He does not promise it will be painless or easy.  He promises we will never be alone in the journey.

In this current distress we have all had to deal with our own fear, Dear Reader.  We have all had to realize that our culture is more fragile than we imagined it to be.  My choice must be to walk in love and faith.  My choice must be to leave fear in the rearview.  You are always welcome to journey on with me.  Together, we can use the light and love within us to blaze our way home free from fear.

Wishing you joy in the journey,

Aramis Thorn

On Fear ~ But I Might Get Hurt

Greetings Dear Reader,

It is likely that I have written about love more often than any other topic.  It is the core of all that we are to be about.  It is also a source of great pain for many.  It would be irresponsible of me to not consider the fear that can accompany love.

The overarching truth about loving others is that people can hurt you.  They can break your heart and they do not always stay true to their promises concerning love.  I would say that if we dare to love, we are going to get hurt.  I will also say that it is worth it.

A further difficulty, one that plagues me, is that past hurts can cause one to resist being loved by others.  It is another way that I have foolishly tried to control my environment.  Instead of trusting the love of the Father to be sufficient for me, I try to control things. I resist that people express love the way that they are comfortable doing so. 

When we resist love, we create a burden for those trying to love us.  We become stony and we frustrate those who love us.  Our fear of receiving and then losing love causes us to resist it.  The only defense against this is to stop trying to be loved and to, instead, seek to love others.

In the words of Saint Francis, I must “seek to love, rather than to be loved.”  This will cast out my fear and perfect my ability to love others.  It will cause me to keep my eyes on Christ.  It will cause me to do less harm.  We fear love because we can be hurt.  What we must accept is that the love of Christ for us is sufficient and will not abandon us.

As we journey home, Dear Reader, we can spend our energy on fear.  We can also choose to spend it on loving each other.  We can hold ourselves secure in the love of Christ given to us freely.  It takes faith but I am learning how well it works.  We can discuss this all you wish.

Wishing you joy in the journey,

Aramis Thorn

On Fear ~ What Might Happen?

Greetings Dear Reader,

Most of the time we have a fair understanding of what comes next.  Routines play out in our days and the ordinary is defined by repetition and patterns.  We take things for granted and expect things to unfold as we have foreseen whether it is brewing our coffee or purchasing a house.  In the large and the small, we expect things to unfold a certain way.

The problem is that when we forge patterns of expectation, they will include that which we fear.  We think about what might happen and plan for the eventualities suggested by fear.  It is not wrong to plan or think things through.  It is, however, dangerous to plan things based on fear.  If I plan things based on what might happen that is bad, I become trapped in living in my fear instead of in my faith.

This brings us to an understanding of the proper way to view the future.  I may plan and project all that I wish.  What I must include in that is a humble understanding that any of my plans are subject to the will of the Father and his grand design.  If then, I plan based on fear, I am neglecting both my faith and the grand design of the Father.  This means that planning anything based on fear is betting against myself and against God.  This seems unwise.

What I must do is plan my plans and dream my dreams based on the understanding that they must all align with following Christ.  I used to plan and dream by imposing my ideas on what I thought was good and right. What I was actually doing was keeping fear at bay through control and misaligned direction. 

I have learned that I must plan and dream within the bounds of following Christ and being with him in each moment.  If I follow Christ first in love, faith, and grace, his mercy and kindness will add in the things that my heart desires at the right time and in the right way.  If I believe that the Father supplies all my needs, then not having what I desire means that I do not need it yet.  I cannot afford to hold back from following because of fear or doubt.  That, Dear Reader, is just wasted creativity and empty faith.  What do you think?  How are you allowing fear to guide your choices?

Wishing you joy in the journey,

Aramis Thorn

On Fear ~ Those in Hiding

Greetings Dear Reader,

I always answer your questions.  When it bears sharing, I will do so in my posts.  A dear friend posed a question about those whose fears keep them away from others.  She expressed that she feels passively judged because she is an introvert, and sometimes her fears cause her to distance herself from others.

First, let me say thank you for allowing me to use your private question to care for others who may feel the same as you.  Second, I must say that our conversation over this yielded an understanding for me that I do not possess through experience.  If I claimed to understand introverts, I would be lying.

My friend and I agreed that in this post I would call her Amanda.   That is not her name but we both like it for her.  Amanda is warm, kind, and filled with gracious love for everyone.  She also dreads large crowds, tight spaces, and public attention.  She speaks of people in terms of how much space they take up in a room.  I do not mean physical space but social and emotional space.  She tells me often that she only invites me to her home when there will be one or two other people because I fill up the room.  She explained apologetically that it is not a bad thing because I fill it with kindness but she has seen me angry and knows how quickly she would smother in that anger.

Amanda does not have social anxiety but she is a solid introvert.  She likes being alone or with a couple of friends but she abhors being in crowds, sometimes to the point of panic.  Her question was a simple one: “How can I be a faithful follower of Christ if this fear is so strong on me?”  My answer, she said was comforting.

I reminded Amanda that there were times when Jesus needed solitude just to remain right within himself.  He had the advantage of being God but his humanity was still subject to the limitations of our frail condition.  I allowed that the instances where the people pressed around Jesus must be troublesome for her.  She agreed and said that she had never admitted that to anyone because it sounded bad.

Amanda and I share this thought.  There were times when the crowd was too much for Jesus.  He understands the introvert and those for whom social distancing is a lifestyle.  He loves them no less than those whose fears cause them to be never alone and the life of the party.  I will never claim to understand fully how Amanda feels.  I do know that like all fear the only answer is the love of Christ.

Embracing that does not mean that Amanda or anyone else has to become socially comfortable.  It does mean that one can feel at peace that what they are comfortable with socially.  We all should work to overcome our fears and walk in the freedom that is found in Christ.  Until that freedom is complete, we must understand that Jesus loves us fully no matter the state we are in.  It is not bad to like solitude and dislike the social spotlight.  It is not wrong to prefer the quiet of contemplation.  It is, however, true that Christ wants us to be free from all fear.  We can walk quietly if you need space to ponder this, Dear Reader.

Wishing you joy in the journey,

Aramis Thorn

On Fear ~ Fear Run Wild

Greetings Dear Reader,

One of the things I have had to master to work at loving others is my anger.  Perhaps master is too strong a word because it is always there demanding to be uncaged.  It is there wanting lease to protect me from my fears.

The difficulty is that anger feeds fear and fear summons anger.  We become angry because of hurt from others.  Instead of love and forgiveness, we deal in anger to protect us from the fear of being hurt again.  It is not wrong to feel afraid. It is wrong to let fear be in charge.  When we let fear control our thinking, we abandon faith and love. 

I am not saying this as one who has grasped it all but, rather, as one who fights it when it raises its voice.  I work to master it but find that I must count on the grace and mercy of Christ to accomplish even that.  In the last year I have gained more ground on this that I did in the previous twenty.

We hear that the first step to solving a problem is admitting that the problem exists.  Not only have I had to face the anger but the fear behind it as well.  The fear that guided so many of my poor choices was rational but also unmanageable without facing it.  Instead, I tried to use control and bravado to mask what I feared. 

It occurs to me that when people like me desperately say they are trying to protect others through controlling behaviour, they to some degree are.  Knowing the darkness that lives in me, unshared with anyone until this year, it was an erroneous but reasonable that I chose the path I did.  I was wrong but my motive was right.  It is not our intention that matters.

Fear drove me to make poor choices and try to control things I could not.  Grace, love, and mercy allow me to face the fear and kill it.  I cannot undo the damage but I can live a life without the anger and offense going forward.  It deepens my belief that all that we do wrong is connected to our fear.

I will work daily to no longer give fear a foothold or anger lease.  There are things about which we can honorably feel anger.  That anger, however, must be short-lived and discarded for nobler feelings.  If I am going to love you properly, Dear Reader, I must realize that my anger has no life at the end of the day.  It must die with the sunset and I must not resurrect it in the morning no matter how afraid I feel.  If you wish to discuss it further, your company is always valued.

Wishing you joy in the journey,

Aramis Thorn

Second Thoughts ~ Are We Keeping the Faith?

Greetings Dear Reader,

When we ponder those we remember on Memorial Day, we must consider what motivated them to give their last full measure for our country.  In the many wars of the last century the thousands who died all had a single purpose.  They died to protect our freedom. 

I envision their completion of that duty as an act of faith.  They gave their lives believing that their country was worth the effort because of freedom and American ideals.  They were not perfect and neither was our nation.  Rather, it is the notion that we would improve on the values for which they died.  They fought evil in the world to promote a society that offered liberty and the pursuit of happiness. 

I am not here to stand in judgment of anyone.  I am here to ask if I honor their sacrifice.  I am wondering if I am keeping the faith they placed in me when they traded their lives for my freedom.  It is my inherited obligation whether I wish it or not.  I grew up surrounded by the freedoms they purchased with their blood.  I live as a free man because of their life and death.

If I dare call myself a follower of Christ then I must also stand for the faith that is placed in me by those who left our shores and died without finding home again.  If I hope to keep my faith in Christ, I must honor the sacrifice of those who bought my freedom.  This does not mean that I sing the song of America right or wrong.  It is that I hold her to a higher standard.  I must honor the faith that Christ demands of her.  We have been given much so much is expected of us.  We have been overly blessed; we must be a blessing.  The tired poor are my responsibility.  The stranger must not go hungry.  Those yearning to breathe free are entitled to my air. 

If I hope to keep faith with Christ, I must keep faith with those who died to provide me the freedoms I enjoy.  I must live out his love and compassion for all who I encounter.  I must use my freedom to extend freedom to others.  I must keep my faith to keep theirs.  I must love the soldier, the civilian, and the enemy even if my own nation turns on me for it.  I must keep the faith, Dear Reader even if that requires my own life.  It is the only way to honor theirs.

Wishing you joy in the journey,

Aramis Thorn

On Fear ~ It Badgers and Blinds

Greetings Dear Reader,

When we ponder fear and what it births, we cannot escape the ever-looming specter of possessions.  Unless we are genuinely destitute, we all have too much.  We buy things just to have them.  We possess things just to store them.

My eldest Son once commented that I had too many shirts.  He was right.  I reduced that number drastically and will be doing so again.  I am a collector by nature and have to fight the urge to collect things that I do not need nor fit my future.  This is all good to review and resist.

But wait, there is more.  You see, Dear Reader, we can be greedy and have avarice about the good things as well.  We can buy and hoard because we are looking out for our family or being prepared.  Neither of those things are wrong.  They are required.  It is that they must be in balance.  They must take into consideration that we should also depend on Christ for everything.  We must not have more when others are in need.  We must not hoard out of fear.

It is not wrong to have a full pantry but it is wrong to neglect hunger in others.  It is wise to save money for the future but greedy to fail to share our wealth with others.  The problem is that when we make our wealth and possessions what matters, we have adopted a new god no matter how well we justify it to ourselves.  We have masked fear with greed.

We rarely honestly look at our possessions and take account of where our faith is relative to them.  When we do, we often justify our abundance as just rewards for our faithfulness to the Father.  If we cannot share out of our abundance when we have little, then we should not expect that we will when we have plenty. 

Possessions and money have great power over us if we allow it.  As Christ-followers we are required to be generous, even sacrificial in our giving.  We need to remember that every good thing we have is a blessing from the Father.  I must share what I have without reservation.  I must not worry if I will have enough.  That is the Father’s concern. 

What I must be is generous and kind.  I must live out my love for my fellow humans by openly and secretly providing for the needs of others when I can.  It is vital to my journey with Christ that I hold on to only him.  Everything else is part of the journey that passes.  Everything else is provision for me and for those with whom I travel when they are in need.  Our fear of not having enough is blindness to the promises of the Father.  Let us agree to share what we have and see how the Father responds.  He promises it will be glorious. 

The Power of Gold – Dan Fogelberg

The story is told of the power of gold,

And its lure on the unsuspecting.

It glitters and shines, it badgers and blinds,

And constantly needs protecting.

Balance the cost of the soul you lost,

With the dreams you lightly sold,

Are you under the power of gold?

The letters and calls got you climbing the walls,

And everyone wants a favor.

They beg to remind you of times left behind you,

But you know the past is a loser.

The face you're wearing is different now,

And the days run hot and cold,

Are you under the power of gold?

You're a creature of habit, run like a rabbit,

Scared of a fear you can't name.

You own paranoia is looming before you,

But nobody thinks it's a game.

Balance the cost of the soul you lost,

With the dreams you lightly sold,

Then tell me that you're free of the power of gold.

The women are lovely, the wine is superb,

But there's something about this song that disturbs you.

The women are lovely, the wine is superb,

But there's something about this song that disturbs you.

Wishing you joy in the journey,

Aramis Thorn
