It’s not magic
It’s gospel
It’s the true presence of Christ in us
Walk with congregations
Illuminate the implications
Tend his sheep
With one eye on their heart
One eye on their digital parousia
We must lead
Educate
Instruct
Train
To profane the techno drug
To cherish our tribe instead
Don’t just wish to form them
Deliver our good news to form them
Get lost in the like
It was meant to save us
Not to fame us
And share buttons
About our faith
We worship one Deity
Equal in glory
Coeternal in majesty
Trinity of Unity
The what of Father is
The what of Son is
The what of Holy Spirit is
Spiraling out
Keep going
Absolution lays in accurately reciting these verses
Simsalabim Bamba Saladu Saladim
Don’t block the means to the end
No tablet or smartphone can compare
To the refulfillment
We take and eat
In the Supper
Remembering the history
Remembering the tendency
Moving and making
Liturgy into magic
Rainbows and warbows
Its modality calls us
Paying attention to the how
Of the gathered church
Of the assembly
Of those coming together
In creed
In crown
In covenant
The antidote of our distraction
Let us read deeply
Between the lines
Between the leis
Between the lies
Misunderstanding us
Choking us
Decaying this embodiment of the us
When we gather
Like eagles
Christ is truly present in it
We too should be truly present in this gospel
With our people in its magic
