Letter to the 'Leaders'

- July 15, 2023

From whence cometh wars and rumours of war?

Lust for power as you sacrifice at the altar of your gods.

Lust for wealth, the love of which is the root of all evil.

Lust that fills the streets with rivers of blood.

Lust that burns children alive in the name of "a higher cause."

Lust in the name of dark liquid and swords.

Lust in the name of your false god Ares.

From whence cometh wars and rumours of war?

Your lusts!

17 Injunctions For Embodied Faith

“True evangelical faith is of such a nature it cannot lie dormant, but spreads itself out in all kinds of righteousness and fruits of love; it dies to flesh and blood (1); it destroys all lusts and forbidden desires (2); it seeks, serves and fears God in its inmost soul (3); it clothes the naked (4); it feeds the hungry (5); it comforts the sorrowful (6); it shelters the destitute (7); it aids and consoles the sad (8); it does good to those who do it harm (9); it serves those that harm it (10); it prays for those who persecute it (11); it teaches, admonishes and judges us with the Word of the Lord (12); it seeks those who are lost (13); it binds up what is wounded (14); it heals the sick (15); it saves what is strong (sound) (16); it becomes all things to all people (17). The persecution, suffering and anguish that come to it for the sake of the Lord’s truth have become a glorious joy and comfort to it.” (Menno Simons)
