Doubt
If there is one thing that I wish could be publicized more it would be doubt. In my belief there is nothing more valuable to a human soul then doubt. But isn’t doubt what puts seeds of evil in your head and heart leading you away from the church? Quite to the contrary if it is nurtured and cultivated it can lead to gigantic spiritual breakthroughs. Would the United States be in existence if the Founding Fathers didn’t doubt the Royal Family? Would the Church have ever experienced the reformation if those involved hadn’t doubted the church of the time? From my experience the doubts we have are very well founded and should be explored intelligently to increase our belief. If we are told to blindly believe for the sake of believing rather then to experience things for what they are our belief will stay stagnant and what we believe we have can never be one tenth of what it could be. In my life I have had doubts I have pushed limits, but I never try to do so just because. This is important in doubt and one thing that I think is over looked. If you just go out and do crazy things because they feel good or because you wanted to see how it would affect someone else then you are exploring your doubt the wrong way. Doubt should be explored scientifically. With prudence and intelligence, until you become grounded in where your doubt led you.

What Does It All Mean?
A Mohawk? What kind of stupid crap is this, right? Who is stupid enough to say Jesus had a Mohawk.
Well me I guess.
So again you ask what is with this stupid Mohawk garbage?
Aside from the Indian Tribe, the Mohawk has become a basic staple in the Punk, anti-culture, rebel look.
Right, so what does that have to do with Jesus?
Everything, and if you don’t get it, this Blog probably isn’t for you.
If you do get it, then it has become obvious that if Jesus was to walk with us today he wouldn’t be attending Sunday service with Billy Graham and the like, but spending his time at soup kitchens and shelters sharing his blessings with the less fortunate. I weep for a world of Christians who think sitting in a church doing bible study instead of helping others is what we are called to do. Not that Bible Studys are evil, but if you never leave your comfort zone who are you helping but yourself. Jesus’ message was about love and caring for all regardless of differences, and yes that means different religions, homosexuals, criminals, and all those other people who are too smelly, too weird, and too this or that. The world is full of labels and that of a rebel is one that I am sure Jesus would be glad to wear, even if it means having a Mohawk.
