It's comin' you grandma-hater. This is the year. You'll see.
We need less of the magisterial government.
We need more of (and healthier) ecclesiological, familial, and self government.

I mean no malice when I say this: more and more, it seems to me that part of the draw of the 'spiritual, not religious' _religion_ is that one can believe whatever one wants, from day to day, without being held accountable to _any_ higher authority whatsoever. "We _cannot_ know the truth" is held with as much certainty as "but we know it's _not Christianity_!" Railing against 'absolute, exclusive truth claims,' and yet operating on one just the same.
I cannot think of any more eternally dangerous advice than "look within." A ship tossed in a stormy sea needs an _anchor_ that is well-weighted, _outside_ of itself, and on solid ground. We have an anchor for the soul, a _forerunner_, already well-fixed in the presence of God, in Christ Jesus ([Hebrews 2](https://esv.org/Heb+2) ). I _have_ looked within, and it looked strangely similar to Lazarus' tomb before the life-granting call of Christ: dark, diseased, full of death and decay.
Some ideas have _eternal_ consequences. Don't navigate the storm by following a _wandering planet_ but, instead, fix your eye on the unmoving, and immovable, North Star.
TL;DR: Don't "look within," look to [Him](https://esv.org/John+1).
All sin, all false religion, and all spiritual pursuits outside of the Gospel og Jesus Christ have the lie in the Garden at their core—that we can usurp God and be both our own masters and the ultimate arbiters of good, evil, and truth.
Odell, you're a madman. That's so crazy it just might work.
