Thank you for sharing. The Sanity Verses also help us stay on the path and not get drowned in the waters of the WORLD. I have been studying the origin of Hanukkah, in a book by Rabbi Irving Greenberg. What struck me is how easily the elite Jews in Jerusalem gave up their heritage, their inheritance to the Roman Oppressors, just for success. We need to remember to keep our eyes posted on the prize, which is our divine inheritance.

“The mature Christian moves on” – yes, even if others don’t view him as mature when he leaves. You could be called a quitter. You could be called defeated. Or you could someday be called “faithful”- and the One who says that to us always has the last and final word on who we are and how we lived.

“Donâ€™t choose the slow martyrdom of mind, family and health that comes from staying too long where all you have is on the table and consistent rejection is the only response.”

The only problem is there are many slow dying martyrs out there, needlessly laboring under a false hope of looking good. They don’t want you to close up shop…and walk onward.

Your comments on “the sanity verses” were like “a word of the Lord” to me–just what I needed to hear. Thanks.

And let’s all pray for the family of “the Old Left-hander,” Joe Nuxhall, who has “rounded third and headed home.”

Good stuff. Really good stuff.
This refrigerator-door stuff, but I can’t figure out how to make it fit. I did steal parts of it for a short post of my own.
Many thanks.

Wonderful article. I’ll have to admit I first thought you were one of those guys who just shouted criticisms at various people, but this reminds me that isn’t true. This is truly beautiful. The problem lies in its application. You know probably better than I how hard it is to “shake the dust off your feet” in a place where those who rejected the gospel were those you loved. Or, when you did leave one group to reach another, that second group did not “begin rejoicing and glorifying the Lord”, but were just as the first were. And about reaching those who’ve never heard – amen. But then I remember all those here in the US, people I know and love, who are also lost, and my heart breaks for them, too. The verses you show here are verses that keep one’s sanity, but also one’s that bring a striking reality to ministry when one thinks about their implications.
