THE SHIBBOLETHS THAT DIVIDE US. 

Shibboleths are any custom, belief, principle or even jargon and methodologies that separate us.

In the bible story where we first find the word it cost thousands of men their lives just because they couldn’t pronounce ‘shibboleth’ 

We live in a very divided world full of shibboleths that are still separating millions of us.

ERRONEOUS TRANSFER was a term I’d never heard until I called my energy supplier to complain about my consistently high electricity bill. 

They told me that I was involved in an erroneous transfer with my neighbour which means that I was paying his much higher electricity bill and he was paying my lower bill. They told me that these ET’S can go undetected for years and it’s only the consumer who can detect it because as far as the energy companies are concerned everyone’s paying them so they don’t care.

It occurred to me that all of us are to some degree involved In relational erroneous transfers. Many of us are paying for someone’s else’s drama, hurt and high maintenance emotional costs.

If you feel like your life has a disproportionate amount of energy use going on then maybe someone close to you is tapping into your supply and making you pay for their high usage.  It’s time we all paid our own bills 👊

This message is about mastering the art of ADAPTABILITY and BLENDING IN so that we can serve and influence those who don’t share our worldview. The apostle Paul became all things to all men...

Moses blended in for years so did Esther, Joseph and Daniel. KING DAVID ‘CHAMELEONED’ himself by giving an Oscar winning performance as a MAD MAN in order to disguise himself, avoid detection and survive behind enemy lines.

Being a CHAMELEON is also about being smart and versatile enough to reinvent and reposition in order to remain relevant and achieve longevity. IF WE CAN’T CHAMELEON WE WON’T LAST ?

Following the feeding of the 5000 Jesus instructed the disciples to gather all the LEFTOVERS he was adamant that their should be no waste.

There’s always a miracle in what you don’t want, need or have too much of. Leftovers are the for those who weren’t there, weren’t included or couldn’t make it and from the moment Jesus broke the first piece of bread he was thinking about the leftovers.

So much of the church is totally spoiled we have far too much bread and instead of giving away to the hungry what we don’t need we just keep getting fatter.  If just a crumb from our tables fell into some people’s lives it would be like an entire banquet to them.

There’s a miracle amongst the ‘RECYCLED’ blessings of our lives. There’s a miracle amongst the discarded people that nobody wants, and that was once maybe you that someone included. God is a God of the leftovers and we must be too!!

Brene Brown writes about ‘common enemy intimacy’ as a fake connection between humans. 

To gather around what we both hate instead of love is no work at all. It is effortless to bond with fellow haters but that bond is inauthentic and dangerous.

God told the 100 year old childless Abram to look up and try to count the stars because his descendants would be that numerous. Those stars became his imaginary friends, those stars were us and millions like us.

We are the only species on the planet blessed with the amazing gift of imagination and yet as we age we use it less and less. Imagination is our off ramp from today’s cruel reality.

Imagination is itself a huge act of courage and I want to share with you some of the imaginary friends who have journeyed with me and kept me company in some of my toughest seasons over the past 20 years.
