The Christian Pew Jester

~~~ 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 ~~~ Psalm 33 ~~~ Matthew 25:14-30 ~~~ 

Are you ready to be a Fool for Christ?
Are you ready to be a Christian Pew Jester?

God chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise...

If we are to advance in the wisdom of God
 then must we also be willing to flourish in his foolish ways?
I think one cannot be separated from the other.
God's wisdom is forever entwined with his foolishness.

Jesus carried with him into the world this foolishness of God.
Who sends a baby to save a world from certain death and destruction?
Only our foolish God.

Who loves the very people who deny him?
Only our foolish God.

Who forgives those who madly drive nails into his hands and feet?
Only our foolish God.

Who waits with open arms for the return of the last sinner?
Only our foolish God.

Who holds us in times of great fear?
Only our foolish God.

Who comforts in times of darkness?
Only our foolish God.


Who believes in life after death?
The Christian Pew Jester.

Who surrenders all to Jesus?
The Christian Pew Jester.

Who bows down in praise and thanksgiving before the Lord?
The Christian Pew Jester.

Who seeks after the lost and forgotten souls?
The Christian Pew Jester.

Who follows a shepherd to an unknown pasture?
The Christian Pew Jester.

Who strives to see the goodness in all people?
The Christian Pew Jester.

Who works tirelessly in the vineyard no matter the reward?
The Christian Pew Jester.

Who accepts to call to love until their last breath is taken?
The Christian Pew Jester.

Whether one is a Fool for Christ or a Christian Pew Jester,
God is the one and only, the truth, begotten not made.
He alone saves us and deserves our unending love and attention.
There is no other God; if he is indeed foolish
then let's join him and be glad.

Sing, dance, have a little fun, for this is the stuff of foolishness...
just do it all in the name of love for God, self and your neighbor.

Blessed be the faithful Christian Pew Jester.
~~~Peace~~~
