Yes! You are in. The Dudes are back! The play of the day is back! Frustrated with this world? More gut check and looking in the mirror time. Here you go...
Word! So are you frustrated with this World? Frustrated with a neighbor or friend or sibling? Of course you are. It's part of life. No matter what is your gender, which brother do you identify with right now? Are you broken and in need of change? Or is your chest puffed out, sitting on your high horse looking down? Ironically, you will be both and somewhere in between for most of your life.
For those newer or maybe it is just time to revisit, mass shootings and injustice continue. We've tackled these subjects. Just go back and listen to previous episodes. Do we really want thee solution? Hint: it's not politicians and new laws. It starts in the heart. One needs loving hearts to follow laws. We have serious moral and mental health issues to solve. I'm convinced most just want to complain. What are you doing about it? Are you on a high horse looking down? Are you loving your neighbors? Are you loving the ones in which you disagree? Are you praying for your enemies? So counterintuitive, yet that is exactly what Jesus tells us to do. Check Matt 5:44. Actually check all of Matt 5 and beyond.
Special thanks to Dr. Lorrits again. We'll keep highlighting your messages of inspiration if you will let us. The challenge for me is choosing which soundbyte of his to highlight. He is crushing the ball right now. I highly encourage you to check out the rest of that message and also beyond. Go to the Bryan Lorrits podcast. That episode is called "A Dad and Two Lost Sons", younger son view, published on 3/30/21.
Ending on a prayer note, Heavenly Father, thank you for this listener, thank you for Dr. Lorrits, thank you for the contributing FriDudes, thank you for the freedom of an open dialog without attacking one another. Forgive me Father when I'm the son that sits on a high horse and judges and condemns, failing to see my hypocrisy and bitter heart. On the flip side, forgive me when I'm the other son that went rogue. I'm flawed. All of us listening to this right now are flawed and guilty of being both up high looking down and down looking up. Thank you for the solution of your son Jesus Christ. Thank you for being that Father that will welcome us back, despite our stupidity. May we shine your Light properly coming out of this and going forward loving and encouraging others the best we can, in the name of Jesus. Amen!
