One rule

Canceling plans last minute

Looking down on you because of what you wear or do

Tailing me to close when I am driving

Spam calls

If you gossip your tongue gets removed by pliers 

No Axe body spray in the mens locker room… or should I say boys locker room.

Quit calling top 40 country music - music~! 

no smoking or vaping outside your own closet. 

If you have a cat you must name it after an old Norwegian demi God… like Gundervansleichen and not popsicle toes

The rich must share their cars and shoes…not their money, just cars and shoes

No yoga pants unless you actually do yoga

No grunting with  weights unless its over 600lbs

No complaining unless you actually had a major body part removed

Its ok to be alone, especially if you are hiding from the police

When out to dinner, turn off your phone

Make healthcare free so when I over eat, have obesity problems, diabetes, cavities, congenital heart failure don’t exercise and most other things that are my fault from poor choices - make it so I make you pay. 

Get rid of the dewey decimal problem 

You never have to study geometry in high school

 

 

Are we supposed to keep rules?

Are we supposed to make new ones?

Are we to break rules?

 

Now Garth lets be reasonable here… 

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”

 

― George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman

 

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THIS; Please just be reasonable? 

Sure, you can follow that lead if you want… but what about people like

 

Martin Luther King Jr. - Take your place black man

Susan B Anthony - shut up your a woman

Michael Dell - you can’t sell computers you made out of your bathroom.

Jesus Christ

Johnathan Kanter writes:

 

Ultimately, it wasn’t the fact that Christ preached His ministry that broke the rules; it was the nature of what He spoke about and the fact that He declared Himself God (“Before Abraham was made, I Am.” St John 8:58). Jesus’ teachings centered around rejecting the Talmudic laws of the Pharisees and fulfilling the original Jewish faith as clarified by Him and the apostles He taught (the first Bishops and Popes). Still, many saw His words as subversive and against the doctrinal teachings of the Talmud and the extreme social regulations of pharisaical Judaism, dominant at the time.

 

hey I got an idea, lets break some rules, lets be incredibly unreasonable. Don’t share your opinion if it is offensive… lets break that rule - but break it in love.

Don’t share your faith with someone who has a different faith? Yeah lets break that rule as well

Don’t pray for people in public places. Break it and break it loud

Don’t witness in public places… people aren’t responsive to cold call witnessing like at the mall or on the street…. uhm break that one boldly 

Don’t speak out on social issues that might offend people… break break break

Don’t love all people at all times no matter what? Again this should be broken, smashed and put back together just to break it again.

 

I would be so bold as to say, if you are trying to share the Gospel in love- its a free for all. Break the rules above and beyond. Never be reasonable with the gospel… because the gospel itself is unreasonable 

Paul said to some it is like perfume, to others it smells like Poop. The gospel is based on the unreasonable. A God sends his son, who lives a sinless life, and loves us so much that allows us to kill him to forgive us? Soooo unreasonable… and yet so amazing. 

Lets all be a little unreasonable today.
