“The lampstand was position strategically to do one things: cast its light on the table and on the bread that represented God's provision and presence. For generations the lampstand of the tabernacle stood to highlight the object that best represented God's goodness and provision, the same object that Jesus would one day use to symbolize His own body. (Jesus compares church to a lampstand in Revelation- a strong reminder of the church's responsibility). Everything about these churches 0 their teaching, practices, and work-- was challenged for one reason in Revelation: They were losing their effectiveness as God's light to their communities.”

“The lancet fluke (Dicrocoelium) infects the brain of ants by taking control and driving them to climb to the top of a blade of grass where they can be eaten by a cow. The ingested fluke then lays eggs in the cow gut. Eventually, the eggs exit the cow, and hungry snails eat the dung (and fluke eggs). The fluke enters the snail's digestive gland and gets excreted in sticky slime full of a seething mass of flukes to be drunk by ants as a source of moisture.”

It will absorb white man's blood and the blood of African men, it will absorb blood from slaughtered cattle and the blood from a woman's birthing with equal thirst. It doesn't care.”

“The Land of Heart”
On the land of my heart
Where once seeds were sown and it rained,
My harvest turned to dust,
And my dwelling shattered.
Those who used to reside within me,
Who used to be mine,
Neither their names were spoken
Nor did any trace remain.
The secrets hidden in my heart,
The untold stories that were there,
That book burned down,
And became its tomb.”

pride will be distilled not out of dominion or far-flung borders, but out of the
faithful and skillful building of the good society.”
