Fruitless arguments are any positions taken by Sons that do not lead to the indisputable, eternal Kingdom outcome for koinonia that Christ intended. They leave no room for the fulfillment of His vision for the restoration of all men/people. The big picture is lost among a sea of controversies.
Fruitless arguments have no place or position in the new heaven or the new earth. They offer nothing to the Lord’s completed plan of reconciliation that some are moving toward.

Marginalized people are always expected to fit within the wishes and needs of those who assume power over them.
We see it in marriages where patriarchy is pre-eminent, in enmeshed families where the lives of adult children are controlled by caregivers, and in communities where marginalized people exist in the shadows…. struggling to breathe.

This generation loves opportunity, connections to climb, outer appearance, cliches and the kind of passion that only rests in the moment – but cannot build houses or sustain them.
It’s seen in the ease of relationship dismissal among pastors and leaders of congregation that co-labor with ministries in one moment and toss them aside the next.
It’s seen when the art of healthy debate becomes sides in boxing rings – each person with their corner-man.
It’s seen in the world of celebrity life where marriages are glorified lust-ships that pass in the night when emotion is gone.

There is nothing wrong with being confident as sons…. as long as that confidence is rooted in the revealing of Christ in us – not narcissism masquerading as a humanized form greatness.

The more I learn about the resurrected Christ, the more in awe I stand of the perfected Bride the scripture declares. In the same breath, I grow to despise the imitation of it made at the hands of men (John 8:39-47). I find myself crying out daily that this heart of mine be found within the Bride.
It is easier to lose focus than many believe.
It is easy to forget that as Sons, we are not only in a marriage covenant with Christ – but with one another. Yes, I have written about this recently but today, I am hearing it even louder.
