A PASSION FOR THE GOSPEL

A PASSION FOR THE LOST

Its not about what you can do - its about who you can reach!

Luke 10:20 Rejoice when your name is written down in the book of life.

The disciples go out and are doing amazing things… Jesus says what is really amazing is when your name gets written down in the book of life - YOU WANT TO GET MY ATTENTION… SAVE THE LOST

Luke 15:7 Heaven will erupt in joy when a sinner comes to Jesus

*NOT WHEN YOU HEAL, CAST OUT DEMONS, GIVE WORDS OF PROPHECY, GIVE MONEY, ATTEND CHURCH

I want to make God laugh

I wan to make God laugh

Not just a chuckle where the teeth roll over each other like waves

I want to make God laugh

The gut bubbly jocular tumble of fat the ricochets of the belt

I want him to wipe the tear from his eye as he sucks in more air

Blasting out more chortles and snorts then a sparkler in the hands of a 4 year old

I want a cool sweat to break out as his face reddens and his cheeks tighten

Smiling so hard that his face cramps, his dimples harden and he hopes you stop with your Ringling brother behavior (but only for a moment)

I want to make God laugh

When he mentions my name I want it to shoot out with stories

The way he shot the stars into the sky

From his own mouth as if he can’t stop thinking of new tales… even as he tells his best

I want the one true Deity to wheeze with mirth as he says no more… no more… I am going to wet my pants

Toss those yellow shorts down into hell along with 3 feathers

There will be more

I want to make God laugh

I want God to laugh in the presence of others while they all laugh together, laughing at my spiritual heroics with only their laughter being heard.

Laugh if you will

But I want the heavens to break their silence as God squeals and squawks and boisterously gets his own little giggle on

Is there a little girl now in charge of the universe?…no, its God laughing again

I want angels wings to ruffle as they hear God Laugh

Wishing they knew this garth, small “g”, this man, a mere mortal? How is he wired to have this effect on God?

Another soul

Another building project

Will mansions never cease?

God’s laughing again

At his big table with his guests and the wine poured

Waiting… expecting… trusting

Boom there goes another party

Sin the punch line of another joke

Laughter erupts the ground ripples and another notch is carved into the belt of hope

All this for one sheep

All this for one coin

All this for one boy

All this… and more

I want to make God laugh

I want to pull my proverbial finger from the proverbial hole in the oh so real damned-nation

I want the laughter to roll bursting over the rocks creasing through every pebble

I want to drown in Gods joy

Some want to BE God,

PLAY God,

CURSE God

As if it matters

Some just want to swerve oh so close to him as if he were an orange pylon marking a pothole in the universe

But it’s no laughing matter

I just want to make God laugh
