When the Deconstructionist and the MAGA Nationalist Meet the Wayfinder


The Way is missed by everyone who has not the childlike heart; 

  • I have to go humbly lest I miss the way of life just because it is so simple.  
  • God has hidden these things from the wise and prudent and 
  • revealed them unto babes.  
When we have been found by the Lord Jesus Christ

  • and have given ourselves to Him in unconditional surrender, 
  • the fact that we have found the Way is not so much a conscious possession 
  • as an unconscious inheritance.  
Explicit certainty is apt to make us proud, 
  • and that spirit can never be in a saint.  
The life of the saint who has discovered The Way 

  • is the life of a little child; 
  • we discern the will of God implicitly.

One of the significant things about those who are in The Way 

  • is that they have a strong family likeness to Jesus,
  • His peace marks them in an altogether conspicuous manner.  
The light of the morning is in their faces, 
  • and the joy of the endless life is in their hearts. 
Wherever they go, 

  • men are gladdened or healed, 
  • or made conscious of a need.

The way to the fulfillment 

  • of all life's highest ideals 
  • and its deepest longings is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.  
How patiently He waits until, 

  • having battered ourselves against the impassable bars of our universe, 
  • we turn at last, 
  • humbled and bruised, to His arms, 
  • and find that all our fightings and fears, 
  • all our willfulness and waywardness, 
  • were unnecessary had we but been simple enough to come to Him at first.  
"There is a way which seems right to a man, 
  • but the end thereof are the ways of death."  
God grant that 
  • for our own sakes, 
  • for the sake of those near and dear to us, 
  • for the sake of the wide world, 
  • and for the sake of the Lord Jesus Christ, 
  • we may come to this New and Living Way, 
Where "the wayfaring men...
  • shall not err therein...
  • but the Redeemed shall walk there...
  • with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads."
