Others love greed but loath fear,. Thinking rapture is bad feed. Fear and greed are just two faces,. Fear and greed, greed and fear,. Emotional boom and bust,. Blessed are the courageous poor in spirit,. In God of heaven they trust. Without worshipping fear and greed doctrines,. We can worship God in spirit and truth,. Jesus comes quickly to indwell such clean souls,. In whom devil lies and spirits do forsooth. So if you want to truly miss the King,. Worship fear or greed,. Support prosperity and rapture ministries,. Your money they need. They need your hard earned money to broadcast,. Lies all over the place,.
They are driven to keep Christ from indwelling,. The whole human race. But oh, how preachers and people do much love,. Doctrines of rapture and prosperity,. They keep hell busy minting fear and greed coinage,. For their hell on earth machine. With smiling or frowning mask face? Nothing, the coin separates truth from lie lovers,. And who will go to what place. The Church of Emergent Gobbledygook. I went to church,. I was down on my luck,. I needed a plan,. To make a buck! The church I went to,. They told me it was,.
I picked up their con,. I had a dream! And I was reborn! I would write a book,. So I wrote my book,. And it made me rich! I explained the slick words of the,. Emergent Church under cover,. That words in Emergent Church mean,. Now, God is the Word,. And the Word is God,. To make Him Whatever,. Still ours to discover! Strength, Courage and Humility. With the bugaboos of greed, fear and slouch out of the way we are freer to discover some really good things in God. And the main thing now would be Openness to Higher Ground. That is something the political philosopher Eric Voegelin noticed about Western Enlightenment.
Western Enlightenment is always open to Higher Ground. You know, like Moses was. Good thing he did. We are going to need three things to approach Higher Ground. We need strength, courage and humility. It always hurts to humble oneself. Next, it takes courage to leave insanity, err churchianity, because group-think is comforting!
How do you get courage? And Joshua knew something about leaving Egypt, i. He said it took strength and courage. Where do you get these marvelous things? Well, you might try a good exercise program. As your body gains strength and courage, so also your soul and spirit. Also, do everything in the right time. Not easily done, but great for maturity! And figure, others have done it. One benefit from leaving stupid doctrine, is that it no longer has the effect of shrinking your brain.
It keeps shrinking the heads of folks enjoying greed-fear-slouch, but once you leave all that, you will enjoy a much greater mind. Yes, yes and yes. The goal is to get you fully invested by Christ-in-You-ness. Well, God can do anything, of course. And He does, of course. So nothing prevents God from inhabiting fully the minds of lotsa of folk with plenty of greed-fear-slouch in them.
God does NOT occupy the minds of the greedy-fearful-slouchy because it would confuse people when they saw Him doing it. Nothing like God Almighty in a fearful person! God-indwelling is primarily for the mature. And true maturity usually consists of some noteworthy levels of strength, courage and humility. Because a God-indwelt person has chosen, and usually chosen for a long time, strength over weakness, courage over fear and humility over pride. Pride is the number one killer in churchianity.
The only thing that kills pride is humility. God simply does not like pride. I am a Man of the Cloth. I went to the convenience store,. To buy a Diet Envy-Me Coke,. And to get me a smoke,. A Golden Cancer Prosperity Cigar! Funny thing was, the man said to me clear,. He says to me, We got a special: One hundred percent off,. Humble pie, cases and cases, piled to the sky,.

Hold your horses, Robert Winkler Burke, you might be saying at this time. Here is what you are probably used to. When the typical pastor at the church of go-along gets to his highest possible level in God, he might pull out these three predictable admonitions. Pastor Shrunken-brain usually has certain well-known memes.
Ooh, that reminds me. Learn to somewhat distrust the bible expositor who never uses a word outside the bible. Like nugatory building programs. And those three memes usually appear as follows. Oh congregation, please become extremely guilty because of the great a love existing or b persecution existing in certain non-Western church environs. In all three cases, the low-goal is to create tons of guilt.
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley! You see, Western Enlightenment will teach us that we just might have a duty to do what King David did in his time, which was to serve his generation. Well, he did such a good job that his work keeps serving generations of all times! After all, lots have! The list of Western Enlightenment accomplishments is endless. But you know something? They experience serial implosions, never take correction and handle power and fame extremely poorly. This is all a Mark But beside the hypnotically entrancing Christian Broadcasters proving they have not truth in them, why should we bother to trudge through the difficult and demanding thought-growth required to understand In That Day Teachings?
It is the plague of mankind. With spiritual eyes to see and ears to hear, hidden enslavement seems to be just about everywhere. Because churchianity has been asleep at the wheel. It has botched its job. Churchianity has allowed, nay rather, encouraged Socialism.
If Socialism continues to succeed, it will kill much of Christianity. And how smart is it that we allow that? Church must rise up and figure out what happened that Socialism became the hope of shrunken-brain man, and how to pitch the good fight against shrunken-brain-promulgation in general and Socialism in particular. I recommend to you modern political philosophers, who have traced the fascinating, if morbid, accomplishments of brave Socialists, from the Frankfurt School, to Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D.
A century of insanity. And it keeps multiplying! They wink at each other! My guess is that when the income tax was created in the United States, thinking theologians might have objected. Until, that is, churches were offered a non-profit status. God gave us Western Enlightenment as a work-around tool when churchianity fails the bible. Churchianity says sheep are not to detect economic enslavement? If not, why not? So, what is the solution? Carry on, carry on, carry on with In That Day Teachings! The Rosetta stone of a Christ-in-You-ness, b Western Enlightenment and c Higher Teachings shall prove out to be a great provider of peace.
With the above triumvirate, we shall have peace and accord with all of humanity of earnest goodwill. We shall easily team up in harmony with all good humans whenever and however. Then again, we shall have the proper discord and distance with all of humanity that is not of earnest goodwill. These teachings provide an inherent truth detector that, in the great big scheme of things, never fails to indicate who is naughty and who is nice. What I am trying to say is this.
The big problem in America in was slavery. Unbelievably, the proponents of that peculiar institution made grand arguments in its defense! Yet man had to war with man to get rid of slavery. Today we find much the same. Except the slavery is hidden. It is slavery of thought. And it is slavery coming from, unbelievably, clerical and political mystic tyranny! So, the pulpit cannot seem to help the pulpit. Isaiah put it this way in Chapter Strong words there, Isaiah. May we be so strong. The Ring of Truth. A Poem Shaped like a Bell.
Know for whom the bell. It tolls for souls so well. Each lie that is told and told bold. Each lie that is loved and then sold. Diminishes your spirit, if truth be told. Truly, lies cannot but sound a bad knell. But the sound of truth, it rings a clear bell. If you can tell truth resonates like a heavenly bell,. And lies crack like a twisted, conniving, broken hell. To Which We Say, Hear! Each week I go down to my local dive,. My friends gather near,. We like to celebrate each Friday night,. To which we say, Hear!
But denominations we fear,. We shun oversight and correction,. At rebuke we leer,. At the red light house near,. We shall all go on credit but not pay! Another says, Is there anything, friends,. One said, We ask the poor to make us rich! Thank God for TV broadcasting, he said,.
Where our eye is queer,. Behold, what uncorrected broadcast can do! I bought a twenty million dollar personal jet,. Another says, I got a mega-million parsonage! Our congregation we jeer. Nothing stops us from spiritual and literal adultery,. Nothing on earth really stops us from doing anything! We all love each other so much,. When we leave we shall shed a tear,. Just which is front or rear,. Our tables are full of our own vomit,. Before we pass out in heavenly depravity,.
Or the police come in riot gear,. We salute all escapology doxie enabling us,. We love eternal security, we love the rapture,. We love Jesus to appear,. Some day in the sky to reward our good works,. Those escapist doxies let us do anything,. Even abomination is dear,. We believe Trickster-knowledgy Dominion Theology,. With governments second tier,. So our carnal appetites will rule the world with Christ! We whoop and holler when the band plays our song,. A country classic premier: Would from heaven so downward veer,. Come believe with us nothing much matters,. For consciences to sear,.
It takes much propaganda to make lies the truth,. Come join us, never mind doctrinal verity,. Look in the filthy bar mirror,. Be in with the in crowd, be loud and proud,. My God, is it really that bad, you ask,. Can you believe your ear? We think anything and live with our thoughts,. An unexamined life is really not worth the living,. But such truth we smear,. We smear all truths and exalt all convenient lies,. This is too clever, too unseen, to hidden, you say,. For Christian believers mere,. Antichrist leaders parade as being Christ everywhere,. But no party lasts forever, and one day judgment,.
Will come from a peer,. You might ask us, Deep in our souls, did we know? You, as inquisitor, just might ask for explanation,.
Jesus Never Tarries
We go along and get along with all damn things? Often was imploding career,. You never fixed your own doxies or bad spirits,. Later, you will look for the likes of us in heaven,. A place that we now cheer,. Ah, the story of Job. God has told me some funny things about it. But first, know what most preachers say about it.
Search the internet, even. But you know what? That is just Job Want to know what the rest of the verse says? The world is taught about Job based upon a partial scripture reference. But first, I must admit that regarding all suffering, we may indeed never know all things. Some suffering seems to be completely inexplicable. My understanding that Job was a classic archetype of a rigid-righteous fellow. And that has its goods. And it also has its bads. After all, the last page of the bible admonishes the righteous to be righteous and the holy, holy. Well, here is what. From sinner to saint life is like the shape of an hourglass.
At the bottom, sinner is free and open and wide to be able to perform any and all sin. Want to rob a bank, you ask the sinner?

Then sinner meets God somewhere along the line and he has to clean up his act. He learns the rules. And therein many get stuck. They say, What would Jesus do? Instead of, What would Jesus have me do? Rigid-Righteous folk live in the land of platitudes. They have God formulized! God is right there in their pocket, see?
Well, the Rigid-Righteous do! And they protesteth to much! God loves and allows Rigid-Righteous folk. It is a necessary condition for many saints-in-the-making. Nevertheless, it also sucks. Who wants a Rigid-Righteous boss? I tell you, no one! Who wants a Rigid-Righteous God? Well, Muslim Extremists seem to enjoy one like that. But in the history of war, generals who are rigid lose.
Who do they lose to? What should they prefer? In war, great generals often have written great books about military doctrine. The opposing generals read those books. Clever opposing generals then think, and think and think. Could Satan do this to sheep taught the regime of Rigid-Righteousness? Hence, Rigid-Righteous sheep are easy for the enemy to slaughter. Now hold on a minute, here Robert, you might say. God is right where you might expect Him to be.
Which, of course, is on the side of victory. You know, God is a man of war? And that would make Him holy-flexible, which would make Him, err, undefeatable. You see, in the history of war it is the flexible generals who always outwit their opponents. Even their individual soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen can join in the fun. How, you ask, can individuals in the military enjoy flexibility? Here is the URL: The first sentence of the manual explains much: Did He breathe His Spirit into us?
Their rules allow for a commercial pilot to break rules during an emergency so that the plane can be safely landed and lives saved. Because the FAA is a sharp organization and realizes it cannot possible write a book that tells what the right thing a pilot should do in an emergency would be. It takes a humble organization to do this. And one that trusts individuals, i. Further, consider the First Commandment. Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.
What, pray tell might those gods be? How about fixed rules and rigidity? Yes, those gods must not come before the true God. Hence, the First, well, Guideline! So how is this Holy-Flexibility proved in the Book of Job? Well, Job was a perfect archetype of a Rigid-Righteous person. Hence he was Chapter 1: But not so right, actually. Apparently, God wanted Job to deliver a story through his epic life that we in modernity could learn by.
Perhaps In That Day Teachings can help! Okay, so here is are some keys to unlocking the book of Job, which as you know is said to be the oldest book in the bible. So, have you noticed the book is kind of strange and different? Like it comes from another era, if not planet? Then they each blab and blab! Each man speaks three times! Twelve long soliloquies, where they each go on and on waiting for some kind of magic confirmation or something?
And this Elihu kid? The Lord speaks of leviathan, a rather mysterious beast. Job says he gets it. The three men get instructions. Job gets double what he lost. Conclusion of majority of preachers? When bad things happen to good people, we never know why! What if Job was, in fact, Rigid-Righteous? And God wanted him to be able to see with the eyes of the spirit and become Holy-Flexible? Then who is this Elihu and what were the three friends for?
Well friends, here is what I believe: The three friends were also great men, but Rigid-Righteous themselves. But they knew more than a thing or two about the Higher Ways of God. Man, I would have liked to have seen the expression on their faces! Now young Elihu, he was taking notes.
Like all four men, he probably did some serious inquiry with God as to what was what with Job. But unlike the four men, Elihu was likely Holy-Flexible already somehow! Except God told Elihu not to mention anything, unless the other men knew as well. So Elihu just sat there taking notes and witnessing how proud the Rigid-Righteous can be. In fact, this pride-fest the four men were having about themselves must have really grated on Elihu quite a lot.
Okay then, what did Elihu do? Likely as not, Elihu believed seekers would be smart enough to figure out what was what. Sadly, in this one thing Elihu erred greatly. Because the Book of Job has become one gigantic cosmic enforcer of the Rigid-Righteous. Elihu must be spinning in his grave, causing earthquakes no less! So, ahem, where was I? Oh yes, Elihu waits until the other proud pontificators are done and then he speaks. And what, pray tell is that? God, who if you remember speaks in a sort of Moses-like language above our normal full comprehension, starts talking about nature and animals.
So God gentles Job in on the subject of pride. Leviathan is just an allegorical thing that keeps Job alive and not burnt toast! Well, if you can follow this so far, it is quite understandable that Job gets it. And grow up Job did. Chapter 42, Amplified Bible: Therefore [I now see] I have [rashly] uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. Very inscrutable yet wise, so very wise of God to do what He did how He did! But God wants them to get it, to also become Holy-Flexible.
Then there would be five of them at least! So everybody did what they were supposed to. This is interesting, indeed, because the bible elsewhere tells us if one gives a cup of cold water to either a righteous man or a holy man, the giver will not fail to get his reward. Wonder what that reward could be? Could it be the opportunity to become righteous, the opportunity to become holy? He likes to hide a thing. He likes to reveal a thing. This is what He revealed to me in the story of Job.
God wants us to be like Jesus. Jesus could see the hand of Father God moving. In real time, Jesus could do this! Come to think of it, it was like Elihu could do and Job and his friends could not. Not until, well, how did Lonesome Dove put it? They had a sign on their ranch. It was in Latin. This cobbled saying has been interpreted to mean a grape changes color, i. Elihu was that mature grape. And he saw his older compadres were stuck in pride and Rigid-Righteousness.
So he wrote himself out of the story, as a witness to the power of humility. Still and so, the point is that it takes honoring the maturity of your mentor, to get out of the muck of prideful Rigid-Righteousness. And that, by definition, is an almost impossible thing to accomplish! Remember your battle with him; you will not do [such an ill-advised thing] again! God is sort of complaining back to Job, after listening to the four men bellyache for a week! God says, look at it from My perspective. In fact, there I go. There, I, Robert Winkler Burke go.
Go where, you ask? Well, the more anointed a fellow gets, the more likely he is to drift into the voice of the Lord! It is SO embarrassing. And it is not the time or the place, me thinks. And that sort of me-thinking can get a fellow in trouble with God. Because I do not want to offend you with utterances from on High. I just want you to get the Higher Thought involved in the Book of Job. And I think you do, now. Oops, except I forgot to finish the hourglass analogy. Most of churchianity is stuck in shrunken-brain Rigid Righteous territory.
Which for an hourglass, is that narrow middle spot that the sand flows through. You guessed it, the Holy-Flexible. Why, they can eat corn on the Sabbath, like Jesus! They can eat the forbidden showbread when on the run, like David! They can be like Paul and preach to the open-to-Higher-Ground, mature-of-thought Greeks, not those Rigid-Righteous circumcising early Jew-Christian combos that were so conflicted! So, have you got it?
Holy Flexibility is key. When you become Holy Flexible, you qualify at a much higher level to be a pleasing abode for Christ to indwell. Stuck in Rigid Righteousness. Stuck in rigid righteousness,. In everything we do,. So right in making rue. So much we do turns out bad,. As we follow rigid rules,. Enslaving better, softer souls,. Using rules as tools. The rules we worship are enslavers,. Our rules say we are right,. We enslave so many better others,.
As we proudly, stiffly fight. We hate the pure, flexible wise who see,. We have only one great power,. Pride in cureless, rigid righteous glee. Their world of accusation,. Bad time, bad rhyme!

So sacrosanct, they pray,. For Jesus to quickly return,. And the uncorrectable idiots in charge,. Of Christian religion and great teaching,. Want their Christianity just as they say,.

Sure, they invite Jesus in their hearts when they start out. And they need lots of milk, as Paul mentions. Rather, I would like to talk about steak-feeding of Christians. This is when Christ-in-You really comes into play. Would you believe Paul?
God wanted everyone, not just Jews, to know this rich and glorious secret inside and out, regardless of their background, regardless of their religious standing. The mystery in a nutshell is just this: Christ is in you, so therefore you can look forward to sharing in God's glory. That is the substance of our Message.
We preach Christ, warning people not to add to the Message. We teach in a spirit of profound common sense so that we can bring each person to maturity. To be mature is to be basic. No more, no less. That's what I'm working so hard at day after day, year after year, doing my best with the energy God so generously gives me. The mystery of God, according to Paul, appears to be Christ-in-You. The subject is herein is proffered more casual than serious, because nothing kills the spirit quicker than stuck-in-bible-language talk!
The subject is so ethereal that a baby Christian will not get it, no matter how cogently I write. But maturing and mature Christians will see. So, I choose to defer to the language of poetry. The following poems explains Christ-in-You-ness: Where I Hide Myself. I like to hide Myself,.
