Invasion

While the sacred remains isolated from the common, the sacred can never affect the common.

"What God has made clean,  do not call common." (Acts 10:15)

"...Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." (1 Timothy 1:15)

"...what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the Living God..." (2 Corinthians 6:14-16)

"And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh..." (Acts 2:17)

"From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh." (2 Corinthians 5:16)

We are called to invade the kingdoms of the earth. The sacred does not become the common. It affects the common. We are called to get dirty. Jesus will purify and sustain us as we go. He will wash our feet.

"Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean, but abundant crops come by the strength of the ox." (Proverbs 14:4)
