Our desire for the familiar is why servant leaders are so often rejected by the church and why worldly leaders who oppress and abuse, are so often exalted.

Anyone in the church who attempts to enslave people, takes advantage of others, exalts themselves, or seeks to control believers through intimidation, humiliation, or manipulation is a false apostle, prophet, shepherd, or teacher.

The history of the worldly church is continuous subjugation to the legalism and sideshow ceremonies and traditions of cruel spiritual slave drivers.

If we are confused or lost, we should return to where we found God and gave ourselves to Him.  Let’s return to our first love and find peace in the presence of God.

The Shifting Shadows of Our Lives July 16, 2025

What is here and now,

is merely,

what is here and now.

Like distorted images

we see in a cracked carnival mirror,

or the mirage

of an oasis in the desert

the shifting fog of history

surrounding us

is but a pale representation,

of God’s reality.

Our lives

are no more permanent,

than the shadow of a cloud

drifting over a landscape

it did not create,

on its way

to an appointment never seen

that’s always over the horizon.

In “Treat Them Gently” S5 / E12 of I Took a Right Turn : Begins with some remarks concerning how we learn from others and how we share more in common than we have in differences.  Next, they play some of our old favorites: I’ve Been RedeemedPraise the Name of Jesus, and We Exalt Thee.  Then we share another of our homegrown songs: The Book, The Blood, and the Blessed Hope. Turning to the Bible we stay in Romans for another week opening up to 14:1 which tells us how we are to treat other believers. Robert moves on to read the poem “The Shifting Shadows of Our Lives,” from his second book of poetry, Floating Through Time. Each episode this season includes a poem from this book.

The text of these readings is posted the day after the release of each episode at www.itookarighturn.com All of Robert’s forty books are available in paperback and kindle through Amazon. We also invite everyone to visit our online art store, The Pair a Docs Shop where we offer our original paintings, prints and merchandise.

When we compromise with the world, we may find rewards in the natural but in the spirit all we find is confusion and strife.

We shouldn’t be content just knowing what God has done or what He is doing, let’s dig deeper and find out why He does what He does.  It’s called love.

The path to God is narrow and steep, few find it and fewer follow it.  The path of the world is broad and smooth and many dance and parade their way to hell.
