"Human beings in a mob
What's a mob to a king? What's a king to a God?
What's a God to a non-believer who don't believe in anything?
Will he make it out alive? Alright, alright, no church in the wild"-Kanye West
There is something interesting about the idea of a church in the wild. Who or what is the wild? The wicked? The non-believers? Secular culture? Who don't believe in anything? I love this song. If you know Kanye West as an artist, he does proclaim to believe in Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior, and uses his music to spread the message of love and hope. I dig it. And just like Kanye the same questions come up a lot for those contemplating a life purpose bigger than ones one ego. What's a king to a God? God doesn't need a king. He's God. What's a God to a non-believer who don't believe in anything? Well, useless I suppose. So I guess we are left with no church in the wild. A world left to it's own demise where nothing gets better and the good are forgotten. That's what is seems. A desolate day in day out routine to self sustain. I fall into it everyday. What is written between the lines of these verses is THE PROMISE of a church in the wild. There is a calmness and peace that comes with a life focused not on the present, but on eternity. Will he make it out alive? No. Probably not, most humans will die. And I don't think that's the point. The journey is not the destination, but the moments that make up the ride. Most memories are better preserved when they are based around love, friendship, and connection. This is what we were created for. So what is it we are not believing in? Most humans long for this type of pure connection. We look for it in our family and friends. We want to be wanted, loved and accepted, yet we fail sometimes at execution. I would rather believe in a God that can at least promise this type of love than none at all.
