William McNamara: “My grievance with contemporary society is with its decrepitude. There are few towering pleasures to allure me, almost no beauty to bewitch me, nothing erotic to arouse me, no intellectual circles or positions to challenge or provoke me, no burgeoning philosophies or theologies and no new art to catch my attention or engage my mind, no arousing political, social, or religious movements to stimulate or excite me. There are no free men to lead me. No saints to inspire me. No sinners sinful enough to either impress me or share my plight. No one human enough to validate the “going” lifestyle. It is hard to linger in that dull world without being dulled. I stake the future on the few humble and hearty lovers who seek God passionately in the marvelous, messy world of redeemed and related realities that lie in front of our noses.”


I have often observed and feared that there is very little In the activities of men and even churches to inspire the God-given hunger within us all. For we are born of the fires do Heaven; we are born for more!


What will I do to be that quality of man?! I dare you to live such a life as to be an inspiration and provocation to even yourself: inspire yourself by living a life that is so unashamedly deliberate and true to your identity, belonging and purposes that you have no energy or time to compare yourself to others.


Live in such a way as to pull on the cheers of the hosts of heaven.

This is the formidable way.


“I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.” Ezekiel 22:30
