Different Worlds

It is quite amazing about how many different worlds there are.  And when I use the term 'worlds', I don't mean planets in the universe.   What I mean by worlds, is the societies of men.  I want to journal this thought...because I have found a different world to which I belong.   It is the Kingdom of Heaven;  the very body of Jesus Christ; the Church.

One should not, however, confuse this with church institutions which are many and wide here in the Bible belt state of Texas.  Many of such institutions are simply country clubs, personal ministry ventures, and at worst, cults under the guise of Christianity.  The term Churchianity should be more fitting for these types of institutions.

Outside of this however, are pervasive American cultures that I find are growing more and more evil every day.  For instance, the corporate/professional culture of the dollar.  This is where plenty of people clone themselves into the socially accepted world of high living, expensive recreation, and predatory dealings at the expense of others.  This world values 'classiness', arrogance, knowledge as long as it contributes to profit or controls others, finger pointing, brown nosing, and back-patting.  It despises sharing, compassion, superior effort and talent, differences, incompetence, and the upsetting of order.  As the late Heath Ledger said as the Joker, "Introduce a little anarchy..."

There is also the 'Hollywood Culture' of pleasure and entertainment.  This is where plenty of people clone themselves into the socially accepted world of stardom, self-exploitation, extravagance, and the unclean behaviors of drunkeness, lust, and perversion.  This world values fame, 'classiness', arrogance, folly, ignorance, and the extreme.  It despises purity, individual reality, 'blandness', everyday living, humility, and humbleness. "Maury!  Maury! Maury!  Maury!..."

The last world I'll speak of for now is that of Churchianity.  This world reeks of people who clone themselves to be part of a 'Christian' ministry where they do nothing except feel entertained, motivated, self-helped, and self-justified.  They value lies, conformity, submission, hypocrisy, the appearance of purity, piety, religious order, nostalgia, dominionism, sensationalism, and 'classiness'.  They hate admonishment, warnings, truth, service to the less fortunate, sharing with anyone who they feel doesn't deserve it, 'negativity', and righteousness.
