I denounce being a fanatic.
My eyes are no longer glazed over by fanaticism. I am NOT star struck by the leaders around me, who mentor me, who lead me or who I admire. I remove my fixation and ask Holy Spirit to help me see the truth of where I am in my relationships.

I pray for the day when marginalized people in the congregation will "stand against" these self-appointed "prophetic" voices who earnestly believe they speak for the WHOLE church in the United States.

Father, I HAVE SINNED AGAINST YOU.. be merciful and heal me (Psalm 41:4). (This is what a contrite heart looks like.)
Forgive me for placing PEOPLE (spouses, children, friendships, mentors, leaders, etc), PLACES (churches, businesses, institutions, governments, nations, etc.) and THINGS (money, popularity, physical appearance, influence, popularity, platforms, books, ideologies, philosophies, politics, food, etc.) before you making them idols. (Exodus 20:2, Deut. 5:6, 1 John 5:21, 1 Thess 1:9)

We pick and choose our idols.
Everyone of us!
The battle for righteousness against self is something else. Paul said this in Romans 7:19, “I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway.” He shows us that every SOUL fights against its idols, high places. He reminds us that we must vigorously work out our faith with fear and trembling.

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.
