      A Collection of Faith - Maryum Haston

      The Church

      Not necessarily a place but a calling, a truth; the spiritual connection to the Great I Am. The temple of which the ghost of Holy resides. It is a hospital, specializing in long term care; where the broken come to be mended and healing is equivocal to the patient seeking treatment. Every Sunday the surgeon operates, using tools forged from scriptures meticulously exposing terminal illnesses. Wounds that require endless therapy in preparation for the Primary Care Physician.

      The Church

      Is a restaurant, stocked to feed a ravishing hunger and a debilitating thirst? Free to ALL willing to indulge in its limitless supply. Paid for by the blood of the Lamb, flavored by His resurrection. O taste and see that the Lord is good. (Psalm 34:8a KJV)

      The Church

      Is a militia engaging in astronomical warfare? Drastically outnumbered yet armed with the belt of truth and the breast plate of righteousness. The enemy has formed their weapons, aimed, and fired. But, their mission is futile; for I stand on the Word that they cannot and will not prosper. We’ve already won!

      The Church

      Church is a school system and I have enrolled in the University of Everlasting Life. Equipped with the Bible as my study guide, no, my cheat sheet because it gives me all the answers. Detailed instructions on how to heal a sin sick soul, feed the starving spirit, fight ideological battles, establish relationships required to enlarge His earthly kingdom and to develop and perfect the God-given talents according to my call.

      I challenge you, my brothers and my sisters, to stop being the devil’s avatar. Be that hospital, that restaurant, that militia, that school system, that church without spot or wrinkle. Because on graduation day, we all will stand before the Dean of Admissions; weighed, counted, and measured. Don’t come up a credit short, ‘cause you will not be able to retake the classes. Be in the number that receives the white rob, the halo cap, and hear the pomp and circumstance from the Most High God saying, Well done thou good and faithful servant, well done.

      This… This is the Church

      Preparing to Fail

      We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

      We the people… but WHOSE people, are we? Have we lost our flavor? Have we lost our way? How did we end up back at this beginning? Are we slaves imitating a world never meant for us to conform to by lusting after the televised version of normal? Our design is to be peculiar. Even Dr. Seuss said, You have to be odd to be number one. The problem is, we don’t read; consequently, we’ve become illiterate to facts and programed by a console in a game where WE always lose. Yet you keep playing LIFE. You look for cheat codes, never realizing the design of those codes ALSO keep you crabbed in the bucket. Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place. (Jeremiah 22:3 KJV) Yet we treat our own flesh like a decayed tooth waiting for extraction. Therefore, I can’t expect you to respect and do no harm to a stranger or anybody else, when your self-worth is tainted.

      You are raising a generation of thieves and killers by sparing the rod, afraid of the child who would not be if it were not for you. Then you tell the child they will never amount to anything. That kills the dream before the child dreams it. And they prevail from the preparation of being nothing. Then you have the audacity to fist bump the air shouting stay woke, when your eyes are closed. Your mind has been infected by the medicine that the prescriber never created to heal you. You are succeeding at failing; believing the worst because the best is just out of your reach.

      Priorities have been misconstrued and I blame YOU! Yes, everybody teaching their kids to value shoes more than people, teaching the
