Blurring the lines

---

Music often blurs the lines and it's beautiful.

We tend to clear cut define things.  Categorize and label.

And we don't like anything outside the lines.  It's not authentic.  It doesn't qualify.

The status quo has drawn their lines in the sand.  Society has judged.

Yet something beautiful has been born... and rejected.

Sound familiar?

The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

People blur lines.  They do it with food, with music, fashion, gender and sexuality to name a few.

And it's beautiful, yet many, too many reject anyone who steps outside their clear defined and comfortable lines.

Jesus did that and they handed him over to be crucified.  Gays do it and they get ridiculed and beaten.

There are even some gays who belittle bi-sexuals, citing, "they're just confused."

Dogma, doctrine, denomination, belief, practice... all lines.

House church is a blurred line.  They're changing the rules of how you do church.  Be the church etc.



Blur a line... do it today!

Embrace a blurred line.

Embrace someone who blurs the lines.

You do it for Jesus.

Do it for who he did it for -

EVERYBODY!

We're all blurred lines of what our predecessors are.

‎"To love anyone is to hope in them always. From the moment at which we begin to judge anyone, to limit our confidence in them, from the moment at which we identify [label] them, and so reduce them to that, we cease to love them, and they cease to be able to become better. We must dare to love."
