Being well advanced in years, I've recently found myself at a loss for "cool."
I know. It's shocking, isn't it.
Cool has fled, leaving me behind.
There are days I can't even see "cool" from where I live.
But last night I got schooled on "cool."
DC pulled us into the 1st Wednesday Worship with an update on "cool." His stone-cold monologue brought "cool" back. He explained what it is and what it isn't...and in the long listing was this: "It's cool to feed hungry people! Now that's cool!"
So I've still got a shot.
Come and help us feed the hungry this Saturday.
It's cool.
It also gives God glory.
Isaiah 58:5-8
Is that the sort of fast that pleases me, a day when a person inflicts pain on himself? Hanging your head like a reed, spreading out sackcloth and ashes? Is that what you call fasting, a day acceptable to Yahweh?
Is not this the sort of fast that pleases me: to break unjust fetters, to undo the thongs of the yoke. to let the oppressed go free, and to break all yokes?
Is it not sharing your food with the hungry, and sheltering the homeless poor; if you see someone lacking clothes, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own kin?
Then your light will blaze out like the dawn and your wound be quickly healed over. Saving justice will go ahead of you and Yahweh's glory come behind you.
One word - COOL!
He did an awesome job.
