When you see RG, RK, BP, DYL, TC and other leaders separating themselves from each other you realize that they had no love for one another; or conversely that they loved their doctrines, teachings, and organizations more than the actual human being next to them (i.e. their 'neighbor').
All of which is fine: they've got their respective journeys and I've got mine. And mine has been filled with failure enough for me to realize that stone-throwing probably isn't on my agenda any time soon.
You know that place where it says, simply, "Jesus wept"? Sometimes I think the whole awful predicament of the human race just hit Him all at once and overwhelmed Him, like a tidal wave of anguish and despair. I used to weep with bitter frustration, confusion, and shame, with the sorrow of both my own and the world's failures weighing on me like a massive stone.
I still feel that way, sometimes, but I always remember what Jesus said about the mountain. One word from God and it is gone. Nothing can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
