Of kings and king nothin'
"Even the quiet (clearing) inner light (by whatever name) practices. I may know more about that than they do though."
~:| Because I'm so quiet.

~:| I think that was two songs mixed together.
~:/
~:| I'm not really a Quaker.
~:/
~:| Quakers would kick me out of their communion just as quickly as Presbyterians would.
~:/
~:| I'm really just a stranger. I need to go to the stranger church, which is the invisible Church of which Christ is King. It's accessed by reading the Word, prayer and fasting, or, put another way, Jesus' two great commandments done at the practical level in real time. It's how you fulfill your part in the Covenant of Redemption.

~:| When you're there you'll know it. Exploit everything, join nothing. Except the invisible Church of which Christ is King. And you're drawn into that by the grace of God effected by the Word and the Spirit.
>:o "Where's your crown king nothin'!!!"

~:| I'm talking to you, establishment Christianity. See yon stranger trundling off into the setting sun for another cold night in the strange land. He belongs to God. He is in God's Kingdom now.

~:| Which reminds me. Notice when church Christians talk of 'great' Christians they talk of clerics and theologians of the past? Everyday Christians are just 'sheep' who are continually in need of 'instruction' and never get to the 'great' status that the clerics attain to. These are the people who once they sense they are throwing in with the Christian thing they then start talking about "going to seminary." Hey, aren't there other options? Like, maybe ... being a Christian? Developing as a lowly, stranger Christian? No, they must 'lead' sheep and write books! "I just preached a three hour sermon on Joshua 4:10." "You're a great Christian, Pastor! The forty-minute intro to it about your time at a conference with other pastors where you didn't give the sheep too much inside info wherein you'd have been talking out of school, you know, like all the conversation about good places to get ice cream in that city, was brilliant!! Turn it into a book, Pastor!"
